Bentles the gentleman of Labrador/retrievers, if you believe all the pikkies on the Internet. Not a golden Labrador, but more like a polar bear in colouring, except got a wee size discrepancy. Black nose and eyes, bits of black paws here and there.
Oh, and deaf as a post. Unless he isn’t, which would label him as profoundly..disobedient. Sign language appears to be the only thing able to keep him in line, apart from a few tugs on the lead here and there. Remember those kids, who gave my honeybun the blue ippy? Bentles belongs to one of them, and We are Babysitting for a couple of weeks. Deaf means..not able to be yelled at, chaffed at, hissed at Pi…um at, or. Flung..more um at. So we don’t let the blighter off the lead outside a rather secure fence. Otherwise, would we ever see him again? And, would either of the aforementioned kids, aka children, ever forgive their mother, if Bentles distappeared on her watch? I rather imagine that he’d find his way back again, and, in any case, his collar has a phone number on it, and he is MicroChipped.
By the by. The first time we had him, was at the Tanderra st address, and the Mum had rented some rather severe looking security fencing bits and pieces. We probably will be able to find a pikky of Bentles being goosed by a goose..name of Esmay, resident all round boss ..um..outside the security fence. We were a tad concerned that Bentles would find the allure of chooks, a goose..a rather stroppy one at that, and numerous other wildlife a bit too much to handle, unless thoroughly chased around. It seemed as though all the precautions were for nought, bekos Esmay could stick her neck through the mesh fencing, and give the..young upstart a jolly good…surprise here and there. Was fun to watch eh. So, at AlexHills, we’ve just moved frangipannis out of reach, around both sides, and all else is fine. Oh, all bored puppies need an outlet, and This Particular Puppies outlet seems to be …palm fronds. Eminently chewable, and we don’t get into AnyTrouble at all for having a thoroughly good chew here and there. The only downside appears to be..we discover palm fronds behind the galahs cage, and they have spaz attacks during a decent chew whilst in there, complete with loud crunches, and other satisfying noises, decidedly upsetting to herr and frau pink and grey ..noise bags. Oh, and we moved a couch as well.
