FiveRoooooers Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Tired of him yet? I'm tired. Exhausted. Cletus was presented as "spry for his age" - at what age does a lab slow down? I can tell you, it is knot 13.4 and I fell for it He is such a love! He's discovered the Nylabones Stuffin bones Some houndie friends who have access to their mom's IPad and paypal sent Cletus his own new soft bed Annie also thinks it's swell! Everyone, so I thought, went outthedoors but a head count came up one short. Ware is Cletus? He's deaf as a stone and thankfully there's no sleep startle reaction, only "Oh, wot's up?" with that big Lab smile. Somehow I have to break it to him, but that's Punkin's spot (she took over for dear Trevor). I tried dremeling his nails but he's so darned wiggly that I gave up (for the moment), lol. Cletus!

EllenEveBaz Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Yeah, good thing about no sleep startle. Especially after he's sharpened his teeth on those bones. Jeter says he'd be glad to get rid of me send me up to help take chunks of nails off the old fashioned way. That's a very nice-looking bed.

FiveRoooooers Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Thanks for the warm welcome for Cletus! He really has not received the memo about his age. When I got home from work he of course didn't know that but neither was he at the door with the other campers. He was in our bed, sound out snoring Last night we walked to Seamie's Lane so, he is truly now one of us, as every single camper has walked to Seamie's Lane. He's just so darned happy! The other campers are still like "Cletus? You're one of us now." Yay. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin. AnnIE Oooh M Angels: Pal . Segugio.
