I think it was about an itinerant but genius and helpful dog.  It was the 80s |

Definitely remember Lassie and The Littlest Hobo  I think Littlest Hobo had a good/ catchy theme tune. Don't think I remember Gentle Ben, although it sounds familiar. Gentle Ben was a tamed grizzly bear that lived with a ranger and his family. Oh, and the littlest hobo theme started going through my head (there's a voice that keeps on calling me, down the road - that's where I'll always be.......) until it morphed into Flipper! Argh! |

Well, Squidgy has well and truly decided my shoulder is the way to go. My lap is now merely a hopping stone to the shoulder. I reckon I need to deduct intelligence points, though. I bend forward, so he's not high enough to jump, but he still lingers on my back and makes failed cartoon splats into the kitchen cupboard door.

Just been watching Spidey demonstrating cat tactics!
A few months ago, I brought a looooooong ferret tube back from Cyprus. It's basically a long fabric tube with no structure to it, other than a foam ring sewn into either end. The pups have been playing with it from day one, particularly Squidgy. I put a cardboard tube into one end tonight, and fixed the other end to their big tubes. After Spidey's piteous attempts to drag it into the cage, Silly went for a wander and emerged into the ferret tube. Spidey just saw a red blob moving and, like a cat, kept pouncing on him!
I've missed my babies!

Degu - Spidergoo
Skill - problem solving
I put some A3 sheets of packing paper from a parcel onto the floor. Spidey decided he wanted it. He grabbed it, headed up the ramp, but ran off the side onto the floor, because he couldn't see where he was going. A brief chomp, and he's on his way again, carrying the paper in exactly the same way, but he's now running with eye holes!

Not intelligence, but courtesy.....
Scaredy was reaching into the seed bowl from a shelf, happily eating. Spidey wanted to have a turn. Instead of barging his way through as usual, he simply sat behind him, tapped him on the back with his front paw, and Scaredy stepped aside!

Before he went anywhere, there was a quick chomp, and he happily trotted up the ramp looking through the eye holes! |

I know! Mine is shrinking. Popped in to see a friend, took an L shaped branch 4' long from their garden......on the bike. Stuffed it down the back of my jacket, looking like I had an Ent for a pillion! Degu love 😍

LOL I'm imagining you looking like a dodgem car!
I'm super impressed with the eye holes, my lot have not thought of that. Well, Flossie has used her intelligence in the carrying paper bedding department to mostly just leave it to Alice these days, I guess that's another way to not have your vision impared.

Degu: Spidergoo and Scaredygoo
Skill: Coordinated attack
Tonight, Scaredygoo tried very hard to make off with some of my baguette. Whilst I had a tug of war with him (and he did submit comparatively easily), Spidey made off with the loot.
They're getting too cunning for their own good (and mine).
