Peggy Flobbins' Double.

Peggy asked me if she could have a quick go on the blog. I said 'we'll see' but she gave me the look. And when Peg gives me 'the look'...



it's very hard to refuse. So here she is.

I've been allowed on the blog - just for a moment - to tell you something that happened. You may not think it exciting but c'mon -when I tell you that a new lushury blankie is the best thing since sliced chicken for me and Teas, you'll unnerstand that it's the very simple things in life that get us all waggy.

So ...

In American Kentucky is a lady called Faye who had a postcard from someone in Leicestershire and on that postcard was a dog called Samy and I think Samy is my gran. Or grandad. What do you think?


See? It could be me couldn't it? Although I can't quite make out whether this dodgy (that's what me and Teas call dogs) has a mohican like me, it definitely has my facial expression (Teas told me to write that. Facial expression.)

Just for comparison, this is me. I stood near some leaves just like Samy. I think we are Double Dogs and probably related.




I would love to know what Sammy smells like. Then I'd know if we're family. I smell a bit sweaty, a bit dusty and very lovely. Except when She baths me in Special Anti- Allergy Sensitive Skin Shampoo. Then I smell fresh as lavender and every one comes to have a sniff of me.

I just wanted to tell you this. I know I had to use The Look to do it but sometimes a girl has to use whatever works.

I wonder if Teas has a Double Dog somewhere out there. Sometimes I think she wonders too. 'Specially as she's probably a grandma herself by now.

Peggy - that dodgy definitely does seem to have an affinity to you. Well done to Teas for teaching you all those clever things to say.

SpiralSkies said...

Definitely doggy doubles. I'm sort of thinking only a scratch 'n' sniff card would have sealed it but there you go. Maybe just as well.

Blinkin' 'eck Lane, you're ruddy MAD! ;-) I'm not talking to dogs. Noooo! I refuse. WOOF! :O TFx

(double trouble!)

Queenie said...

I can quite see why you were powerless in the face of 'the look'.

sonia said...

yes definately related. Peggy has a wonderful way with words.

aims said...

That has touched my heart. And some days that is very hard to do.

Thanks.

Annieye said...

'Ello Peggy. You need to do a smelly bum lick - our Grandpappy Max used to do that to his ole lady, Ellie, and they always knew each other after that. He used to roll on his back and let her sniff his willie.

(What? What have I said? Rude? That's not rude. Oh, I don't know - bitches - I'll never understand you lot. Hmmmph.

From Zak

laurie said...

a doppeldog! i love it.

Lane said...

Helenmh - Teas is one clever dodge:-)

Spiral - whoa, that could be rather too much information:-)

Tom Foolery - oh yes you are. Woof:-)

Queenie - I would like to perfect The Look myself. Could be useful:-)

Sonia - She couldn't so it without Teas' help:-)

Aims - I'm glad aims. x

Zak - Peggy is shocked. Shocked I tell you! I don't think bitches will ever understand you dogs and your ... forthright ways:-)

Laurie - doppledog! Great word:-)

Marion said...

yes, Peggy I'm sure you are related. If you stood side by side, you would need name tags to tell you apart. Two visions of dodgy loveliness.

Babaloo said...

Peggy, that's SO cool that you've got a doppeldog! Bet Teas is dead jealous.

JJ Beattie said...

OMG; that's quite a scary look.

A dead ringer Peggy...

Amanda said...

Awh, two Peggy Flobbins, perfect! x

Carol said...

Yep, that look is irresistible...what a gorgeous pair of pooches!!

ChrisH said...

Well, Peggy even though your post stopped my computer in its tracks it was well worth reading! I'm sure your dogggy double isn't quite as cute as you though.

misty and poppy bichon said...

Oy Peg, sorry we're last but we had to make a hell of a racket in the hall to get Her off this thing - and then we sneaked on.

I think your expression is far lovelier than any other dog that looks like you. You are unique, beautiful and wonderful and you and Teas are our doggy bloggy pals.

kisses from France

Flowerpot said...

Oh I know that look. I use it a lot on my mum flowerpot. I've got a double cos we met her the other day - not nearly as attractive as me though. love Mollsxx

Dumdad said...

Dodgy doppeldog dialogue. I like it.

Dumdad said...

P.S. I wondered why it took so long to load your blog (and sometimes it fails) until I noticed you have a WHOLE year's worth of blogposts on one page!

Lane said...

Marion - doggy loveliness Aren't they just:-)

Babaloo - as always, Teas is philosophical:-)

JJ - Isn't it just:-)

Amanda - Sweet eh:-)

Carol - the Look is difficult to ignore:-)

Chrish - Peggy is very sorry to have stopped your com-puter. She's sending you a 'nice' look as an apology.

Misty and Poppy - Peg is very touched and says 'right back atchya bloggy doggy pals:-)

Flowerpot - The Look is very useful isn't it. And I don't think our doubles are ever as ace as us:-) Love Peg.

Dumdad - whoa - do you know I hadn't noticed that. Am I stoppid or what (don't answer that). I will change the settings forthwith!

Lane said...

I could be 'stoopid' or even stupid too:-)

Faye said...

Ah Pegs, how clever of you to trick Her into letting you on the blog so you could tell all your fans about this news. Afterall, a girl has only a few moments in the spotlight.

I sent your dopeldog Samy a postcard telling him about you. Whenever I hear from him I'll let you know right away. Maybe you can meet. Only thing, he's 13 years old and I'm not sure how far Leicestershire is from you. As suggested, you may have to rely on a scratch and sniff postcard for any further getting acquainted. Check with Teas.

Peggy Flobbins, so very photogenic and yet has a Doppleganger. If they lived near to each other you could use them both as bookends! Oops, sorry forgot Peggy wrote this - well done lovely doggie, a sweet article.

Shirley Wells said...

You're definitely related, Peggy. And very clever of you to coax her into allowing you near the computer. Who could resist that look?

misty and poppy bichon said...

come back and post more soon or get that old Teas on the keys - or, failing that, tell her ladyship we miss her in the blogosphere

claire p said...

Peggy sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do! come to London with me in June and see it 'the look' works on my Mr Patz ;)

Sarah said...

WOOOOOOOOFFFFFF Waggy tail from Sally (Samy).

I can't believe I have a double. Paws crossed we are distant relations as I am all alone in the doggy world since my best friend left me last January for doggy heaven!

I was rescued by my owners from Dog Trust several years ago and have been spoilt rotton ever since - especially by their parents.

I am getting old now and like to sleep lot and pretend I am deaf (until the biscuit tin comes out!)

I'll keep in touch and send you some more pics once my owner pulls her finger out and sorts through her pics.

Woof Woof and we'll Woof again Soon.

Peggy Flobbins said...

Faye, Faye. Faye! - Samy has made contact (see below) and is called Sally. A she!
Thank you very much Faye. I am very happy to have found my doppeldog. (And Teas is pleased for me too. Isn't it a funny dog/blog world:-)
PS If I ever see a Willie Doppledog I'll be sure to let him know:-)


MOB - I would certainly make a good book end. I have a solidity you see:-)

Shirley - It's a good look isn't it. Always does the trick:-)

Misty and Poppy - Will do. And shouldn't you two be posting soon??

Claire P - Mr Patz?? Now I seem to recall my teenager has mentioned that name. Once or twice;-)

Sally - BIG WOOFS!! This is brill. We meet via the blog! I always knew Her blog would come in useful one day!

I am four and was from a rescue home too. I am so sorry you've lost your special friend. I can't imagine life without Teabag even though I moan about her sensible ways.

We are definitely related. I feel it in my water. I would love to see more photos of you and please thank Sarah for letting you contact me.

Love and woof
Peggy F x

Karen said...

There ARE similarities, but I think Peggy's a one-off :o)

DJ Kirkby said...

Awwwwwww. I can't stop thinking 'awwwwww sweet', so I thought I'd better tell you.

Andrew Gerald Hales said...

She IS ADORABLE. I have a Boston Terrier back home, which I can't wait to go home to for christmas break and just take NAPS with. I'm in college..

Shanona said...

What a beautiful face she has! You are definitely one lucky doggy-mama! =)
