Mups, I think Gertie is trying to reward you with her ‘goodies’ to thank you for caring for her in puppy years.
Yes Mags, they are all different natures and different funny habits, inspite of the fact three of them are the same family even.
I have always said the oldest one - Mups - was 'born old', and has always been very staid and sensible, even as a pup.
Two of the others are her grandchildren, yet nothing like her at all. Nutters, the pair of 'em.
Mups is almost 14 and sadly, her sight is going as she has quite bad cataracts now.
I am dreading losing her one day.
Gertie's an alien.
She wasn't in a very nice place as a pup, and I didn't want to leave her there, so I bought her home with me.
She's been out collecting bark chippings again this afternoon!
I got Izzy because the owner was going into hospital for heart surgery and couldn't cope with Iz and her sister, so she came home with me too. She is 11 this year.
It is a bit difficult sometimes, I admit, but we manage and they are all happy dogs.
