So, the first of its kind, I think…not a TiBB member Hotseat but a TiBB member pet Hotseat and the first sitter in that seat is Tilly, who is the dog pet of Cherie…she’s taken time out of her busy walking and playing and eating and sleeping and tail wagging schedule to brave the probing of any questions that you’ve always wanted to ask a dog…

…do you like to have the same food each day, Tilly….?…

Yes more or less but my humans have discovered that it is best not to mix my food so I have wet food in the morning and dry in the evening, I have a very novel way of eating dry food I take a mouthful of kibble from my bowl then go and lie down on the mat in front of the fireplace and crunch it and then return and repeat, my humans think its very cute so who am I to deny them a daily performance

…do you think that you’d make a great police dog/security dog…?…

Yes of course, I would be brilliant at sniffing out bags of cocaine and I probably would get a medal and retire a heroine of the force



…would you call yourself a home protector…?…

Oh yes I love to bark at delivery people and the postman, only from my bed though I never get up as I am sure my bark is enough to see them off

…what’s your favourite dog toy…?…

When my humans got me I have three toys but I dont have an interest really, my favourite thing to do is fix Mum or Dad with my most intense stare if they are eating until they give in, I dont whine I just watch intently.....this seems to do the trick, Mum got me a tennis ball but chasing balls is for lessors, my other favourite thing to do when out walking is to stare at other humans and go into stalking mode like the collie I am when I see another dog

…are you a city dog or a country dog, would you say…?..

I would say I am a bit of both I walk well in city but there are far too many more interesting things to sniff in the country


…favourite place to walk…?…

oh the woods for sure, love the shade and all the lovely places to sniff and sometimes Mum lets me off lead

…does mama Cherie give you sneaky treats that she possibly shouldn’t…?…

Dad is worse than Mum and she tells him off, but Mum always gives me cheese, I am currently with a pet sitter as my brother couldn't look after me and they enquired if I liked healthy snacks like carrots and apple, I was aghast....luckily Mum put them straight...toast, cheese, chicken, ham, normal treats none of this healthy stuff :eek:


…do you steal socks if you get the chance…?…

No I am a good girl Ammi, I am four now so have grown out off these childish ways

…Cherie or Mr Cherie…/…who’s your favourite human…?…:laugh:…


ooooo tough one I would have to say whoever is doling out the treats gets my full attention

…do you love unwrapping gifts…?…

Not tried that yet, roll on Christmas and I will let you know

Do you ever bring Cherie back from the pub when she has had a few too many?

Cherie
14-08-2024, 08:09 AM
…have you ever wanted to bite the post person/delivery person etc…?…

Oh no my bark is enough to let them know I mean business

Do you like cats?

Well when I was adopted I arrived with a bit of background info one of which was 'no to small furries' well I haven't quiet lived up to that tag as I will see cats on my walks and in the main I pretend not to have noticed them, although one time I did make a playful lunge at one just to keep Mum on her toes

Are you a social dog on your walks or too posh to mix with the riff raff?

Not really if I am around other dogs Mum keeps me on lead as she doesn't trust me not to kill a lessor, many dogs off lead have run up to me but after a cursory sniff I bark at them to back off

…do you ever bark in your sleep…?…

oh yes I have the cutest low growl followed by a little bark when I am dreaming about chasing rabbits

Do you ever bring Cherie back from the pub when she has had a few too many?

So far Mum has been very good, I love going to the pub by the river, lots of things to stare at and some humans pet me and tell me I am a lovely girl, and Dad gives me crisps

Love it, I sit and silently look out the window

…which room in your house is your night-time sleeping room…?…

Mum and Dads bedroom, though when its really hot i go into the guest room

Is there any tricks that only you can do?

Im not really a tricksy dog, I can stand on my back legs and spin around if following food though although I can hold going to the toilet until about 10am so thats a superpower

Sausages or Cheese?

Cheese, I invented the cheese tax

Open I have a doughnut

…what are your thoughts about sheep, do you think that you would make a good sheepdog…?…

I am one quarter collie so sheep are always high on my thoughts and yes I think I would

…if you were to wear one of those dog shaming signs that became internet trend back in the day…?…what would it say…?…

This dog ate all the pies and then some

Are you a fan of doggie clothes/jackets?

Mums just got me one for the winter, I tried it on and love it

…oh and following on from Niamh’s last question, will you dress up for Halloween this year, do you think…?…

I dont think so as we dont get many trick or treaters

…are you allowed to sit on the sofa in your lounge or sitting room…?..

oh yes

…what’s your favourite dog joke…?…

When you cross a cocker spaniel, a poodle, and a rooster, what do you get? A cockerpoodledoo!

Have you ever eaten your own ****?

No and I dont roll in fox poo either, I jump over puddles as I dont like getting my paws wet

yes Nicky I do, though I dont spend much time in the garden, I love my walk or being indoors

…how does it feel to be living your best dog life in your new home…?…

I feel I have landed on my 4 paws Ammi, they all ADORE me

…do you like squeaky toys or do you prefer quiet ones…?…

Even though my previous owner sent 3 toys all with squeaks I really am not bothered ...food, sleep, walks...done

…and what do you think that answer would be, why you were chosen over every other dog, Tilly…?…

My Mum didnt want a dog as big as me, but she was won over by my winning pawsonality, just something she and my Dad couldn't quite put their paws on but they just warmed to me

..what time do you wake up in the morning to start your day…?…

…do you think that treats every day make a happy dog…?…

I can lay in for England, I dont move a muscle once I go to be and I never ask to go out, I just snooze and snooze

…do you think that Norfolk is a generally dog friendly place to live, are you happy with all of the dog facilities there…?…

Yes I live near quiet a few woodland walks and the river and the beach though they have not taken me yet as I dont really like to get my paws wet

…anything to improve general dog friendliness that you would like to see…?…

lots of homes put water bowls outside which is great and I love that, maybe they could add some treat bowls?

…how do you feel about birds in the garden…do they fascinate you/do they irritate you…?….

Meh we have woods at the back of us so we dont really get many, we do get squirrels and I do like a chase

…do you like to watch TV and movies etc with mama and papa Cherie…?…

No I like to take myself off to bed and if there is football on and they are shouting I am definately out of there, Mum thinks I must have past traumas with shouting ....

Thank you all for taking time to pose questions I have been delighted to answer.


Thank you to Ammi for arranging my favourite cushion, snacks and a refreshing water bowl


I am hanging up my lead now and will retire to the bedroom

PS....I am currently at the pet sitters, on Monday they were asking about healthy treats, by Thursday they commented on how much I loved human food and especially buttered toast, I have broken them :hee:

Adios for now Tilly x
