Day 71 - Varkhond

 

Lockdown  Day 71 - Level 3 Day 5 - Next month we will be getting new tenants in our garden cottage which means we will be seeing the last of Murdock the Bull Terrier or a Varkhond in Afrikaans. No we not that sorry to be seeing the last of him as not only has he chewed up the electrical cables feeding the outside lights in the front of the property but also the irrigation system's pipes and sprinkler heads. As in Afrikaans it is called a Varkhond or directly translated a Pig Dog because of its pig like appearance and its looks like only a mother would love. Although it gets on with other dogs it tends to be a one dog family dog as it can be obstinate as they are independent and very, very stubborn.

Day 54 - Piglet in Water

 

Lockdown Day 54 -  Our tenant sometimes leaves his dog Murdock on our side so that he doesn't get bored being alone. Well on our side he has River Song to annoy and he is able to play in the water that sits on top of the pool cover which he simply loves, just like a pig in mud, or in this case a piglet in water.

Day 41 - Crazy Fool

 

Lockdown Day 41 - I only heard in my head "Murdock - you crazy fool" in the voice of BA as I saw our tenant's dog Murdock on top of his owners car trying to get some of the winter's sun. I suppose after yesterday's post Murdock wanted to show who is actually the king of the castle.

Murdock

 

Murdock, my tenant's bull terrier puppy is a feisty little thing. I think Murdock is the only dog that can handle River Song boisterousness. Over the weekend, I let them play together, and during this time, I heard a splash, rushing out I found Murdock in the deep end of the swimming pool. He was struggling to stay afloat so I reached in and pulled him out by the scruff of his neck. And today he is back for more punishment. Doesn't he even learn?
