"Georgia he really wants to talk"

So, in my first blog I posted a picture of my gorgeous puppy Rufus- he is now a year old and I can't call him a puppy anymore. Anyway, I don't treat him as a dog because he's not to me he's a hairy baby!! Back in the day I used to'hate' animals in fact I wouldn't go to anyones house if they had a furry four legged friend and a year later I'm a fully fledged mental dog lover....


I don't think you can understand the 'dog owner' world until your in it. I used to think of dog owners as a different breed of human and I would have been right. You see when you're a dog owner you go to the park everyday and the people you meet there you don't know by first name but as their dogs name- ' Oh look theres Shuberts mum/dad!' You don't talk about your plans for that weekend but you'd say ' Oh Rufus has been very distressed this week so this weekend we're going to take him on a special outing!' You basically talk as though your dog is a child and effectively he is.


The last paragraph will seem strange but I think Franny I and may have taken it to the next level and I would self-diagnose that we have ' well and truly lost the plot'. Our strange behaviour includes:

1. Buying Rufus an advent calendar and then packing it in his overnight bag when he went to stay with friends
2. Buying Rufus more Christmas presents than we did each other and then waking up extra early on Christmas morning as we couldn't wait for him to open them
3. Making him a Christmas dinner
4. Throwing him birthday party 
5. Buying him a Valentines card to send to his best mate Lola (picture below...)
6. Planning on sending him a Valentines card

Oh and one last thing, the other night Franny turned to me and said 'Georgia he really wants to talk, I could tell when I was speaking to him earlier, he just wanted to answer me!'  If anyone knows of a dog whisperer do let me know (or maybe a psychiatrist for Franny?!)

Sorry!

So I haven't blogged for a hell of a longtime, but its January and I'm going to start again!!


My lousy blogging comes down to the fact that I resigned my position as 'house manager' and I'm now back in the real working world as a PR for the lingerie brand - Ultimo (pretty fitting considering my blogs name). Anyway, I promise I won't use this a tool for free advertising for the brand, but if there is anything I feel that would be of interest I will keep you in the loop.


Anyway sorry again.......(see family Christmas photo below!!)
