Sick as a Dog

Where does that expression come from?

This is a sick dog for you! (Filmed just after the mackerel incident on Monday.)

(Sorry about the shakes I tried to stabilize the video in editing but that just produced flashing fuzzies that looked a bit like a migraine loading so I ditched the so called enhanced version.)

  4. I would say Scully thanks the day you came into her life.

    Not sure what Blogger has been up to but I’ve had nothing from you for days so resubscribed. Hopefully I’ll see your posts when they are published now

    1. Scully came into my life - she took from mid-March to mid-May to think about it, barking defensively any time I tried to make friends. She relented when my brother and nephew were here building the cabin shell and been part of my life since then.

  7. Poor Scully. Apparently the saying dates back to the 1700s when dogs were undomesticated in England and lived permanently outside and they looked sick and often emaciated.

  8. Poor dogs. Our working dogs always lived outdoors (chained to kennels). Now in NZ you can buy (for working dogs) double-skinned kennels that have natural wool insulation all round (between the skins) and a cat-flap type door to ensure they aren't drafty. Strangely the kennels are called Kelvin.
