It's bath time for Ollie today Razz

. He's not a massive fan of getting soaking wet (Unless there's a particularly tempting ditch) but he absolutley loves getting dried down with a towel - which always turns into a great game and a massive Ollie cuddle! love4

Long walk and hoovering on the agenda today - although Ollie always seems to slip away when there's hoovering to be done but you can guarantee that he'll be bouncing around by the front door if there's a walk to be had!
Ollie has great fun on his walks and is always super enthusiatic! He loves to sniff absolutley everything and investigate the daily happenings in and around bushes. He forgets he's a strong boy sometimes and needs a few reminders about walking nicely but always settles in to his walks well after his initial excitement.
He meets dogs much better now and is quite accepting of smaller dogs coming to say hi as long as you are nice and close to oversee them. He is still wary of bigger dogs and we tend to steer clear and give a few reminders about not fussing when we walk past.
He absolutely loves when people stop and say hi on his walks - which happens quite a bit because he's a very handsome boy! He's got a great repertoire including posing, kisses and just generally looking cute when he's trying to show off Laugh

Ollie got to do his all time favourite hobby yesterday - Sunbathing glasses7

He always makes sure to get all sides lying on both sides and his back and when it gets a bit too hot outside he'll come in and find a good hotspot next to the window where the sun can shine on him. I think he thinks it will make his hair even more blonde and beautiful!

Intellectual Ollie! He's trying to help write reports here but it turns out that kisses and cuddles don't get any work done!

Ollie can always be found with his nose in a bush so when we go out walking we always walk really close to the bushes and trees so he can make sure everythings in order and have a good sniff.

Ollie doesn't often get in touch with his feminine side and he couldn't eat the flowers so he wasn't that interested in them

Wendy walked the handsome hunk that is Ollie yesterday. He was ever such a good boy. He walked with Mags and they both seemed quite content to do their own thing. He doesn't pull at all on the lead and just loves his cuddles and having his tummy tickled.

Well Ollie today he let his fur down and turned into a hippo wallowing in a mud bath.

We had lots of fun with me trying to wash him down with a bucket and sponge on return. Ollie is such a good hearted soul.

Ollie jumped in the front of the dogmobile with me today and we travelled over an hour in each others company. I got quite a few licks and he was settled and enjoyed the scenery. What a lovely boy. We then had a lovely walk in the countryside and he is now in a new kennel where hopefully he will get more walks and being in with the mainstay, with the majority of Staffies might just catch the eye of a Staffie loving family soon !

I got to walk Ollie today for the first time, and what a sweet boy he is. flower

He likes being around the other dogs and stopped to say hello to new boy, Hamlet.

We had a throughly enjoyable walk. Here are a couple of pics to prove it!

The gorgeous Ollie for me again today, he is really good at ignoring many distractions but when a cat ran across our path it was really too much not to try and chase
