Winnebago checking in

So, what's been happening?

Well, thanks to Sarge's Nickname game I am Winnebago for the next week.

Secondly, the Lady Of The House has a truly STINKING cold and is coughing and sneezing EVERYWHERE! YUCK!

But she still took me to the greyhound walk that was organised by Perry Barr Retired Greyhound Trust in Burton-on-Trent yesterday.

I got to wear the Winnie the Pooh bandana she bought me at Crufts.

Now maybe it was that, or maybe it was the steroids I've been on since last autumn, but I got very feisty with the dogs gathered outside the library in town and barked at ANY hound that looked at me.

The LOTH was bundled up in a big grey waterproof and her pink scarf and got to talk croak to her friend Jane (in the green coat) who came along with her two greyhounds Jack and Sophie.

I got a bit friendlier when we started walking. The Man Of The House walked with me and the LOTH took charge of Jack. But a few of the hounds weren't too keen when the walk included a few steps.

Jack and one other greyhound had to be carried up. But I was fine.

We also met up with Rolo Hound - who the LOTH has tweeted with but never met before.

Rolo's dad and my MOTH were showing off their matching backpacks from Pedigree - part of the Play Again campaign for JointCare+

Rather than make this post too long I'll share my other news about the lovely Ann from Zoolatry and how she has helped us another day.

Love and licks, Winnebago

That's not my name

Whatever happened to The Ting Tings?

My lot loved singing along to That's Not My Name.

I remembered it when the very wonderful Sarge announced his nickname game for this week.

So, how it works (if you've not seen it on another pet blog yet) is that I have to list ALL the nicknames I've been called by my People Of The House.

YOU have to comment below on which is your favourite and then I have to be called by only that name for a whole week by my POTH.

(Um. Run that by me again? What do I get out of this?)

Anyway, it sounds like fun (as long as you choose WISELY dear friends) so here goes. This is my list of nicknames that you have to choose from:

Win
Win-win
Winnebago
Winston
Winifred
Smelly Dog (that's just plain RUDE! I'm not having that!)
Fartypants (No. No and NO!!!)
Baby Girl
Sunshine
Sweetheart
Petal
and
Krypto (that's a new one from the Man Of The House because he's decided I look a bit like Superman's dog)

I look forward to your comments - I think.
