Dylan
(All about Molly, Harry and Planet Airedale's History).
 

Dylan

I will be 11 years old on 28th May 2013.

Hello everyone, my name is Dylan, I also love to be called Dylan Dale, Digi Dale, DDale, D type Dale, Mr DDale, Dylan Dawg, Poochie, Airedale Scarf, Big Puppy and Dale Woofton of Cuddleshire!  I love my life with Molly, Harry, Linda and Richard!  Everyone adopted me on the 23 January 2004, Harry is my younger brother and Molly is my big sister! They were all very kind to me, showing me around my new home and the big garden, within days of arriving took part in the highly eventful sport of Squirrel chasing! It is great fun, these little tree rats come into our garden to steal the bird food so we get to chase them out! Immediately, I felt at home.

Molly and Harry have very generously shared all their toys with me, I didn't have any toys, bed or blanket with me when I arrived...sniff! sniff! It was so sad. We have a big basket of toys where we can dip in and help ourselves anytime we want to as many as we want!  It is such fun to play with Molly and Harry although I do respect Molly's senior position above us all, she is The Queen of Planet Airedale. I do like to grab her tail when she's not looking, it always guarantees she will chase me and chomp me.

Now we live in ScotlandI was born in Somerset and my breeder found me a new home with Planet Airedale and she very kindly gave me a lift in her car to my new home with Linda, Richard, Molly and Harry!  Thank you to Ruth Millar for making my life complete, I am very, very grateful!

Horoscope

I am a Gemini and a fairy typical one at that!  A typical Gemini can be described as eloquent (of course), communicative, witty, versatile, youthful, lively, inquisitive sometimes (always!!), a little tense, nervous and superficial!  I do love to get out and about, I'll happily chat with anyone who will listen to me, I'm certainly lively - I do love to spring around and can jump high fences and boing of all fours in a flash, Molly and Harry have been most impressed by my jumping abilities, it is a shame they can't jump as well as me but it means I can get into the Range Rover first.  I'm a sociable bloke and can hold my own in any level of conversation!  My geography is pretty good, I came from Wiltshire, lived in Devon (Planet Airedale used to be in Devon),  North Wales, Cumbria and now Scotland.  I was born in Somerset and my breeder found me a new home with Planet Airedale and she very kindly gave me a lift in her car to my new home with Linda, Richard, Molly and Harry!  Thank you to Ruth Millar for making my life complete, I am very, very grateful!

Food

I love all food, there isn't anything I don't like. When I first came to live here had to do a rethink on my eating habits because I saw food I want to eat it...ALL! I was caught out a number of times in our kitchen when Linda and Richard left a cooked chicken out to cool, I came along and chomped as much as I could before I was caught.  Boy, did I get told off!  My Big sister was not happy with me but I am happy to report I have changed my ways! If there is food lying out on the kitchen counter, like Molly and Harry, I don't touch it.  I love my new diet and lots of treats.  There really isn't any food I'm not keen on, everyone else turns their nose up at prawns but not me, I love them. Oh, I have just remembered something I am not keen on, Oranges! They have a horrible taste. Molly taught me a great trick, if the humans give us a boring Bonio when we know there are pigs ears in the cupboard we take the Bonio in our mouths and then drop it onto the floor and look at them as if they have fed us poison We keep trying this method but it never seems to work with Linda and Richard, such is our hard life, sigh.

Leisure and Hobbies

I love getting out in the countryside for walking. It is such fun to run around with Molly and Harry, we have such a laugh.  I do enjoy garden landscaping and interior design. I love attention to detail and the correct placement of a soggy, smelly chew in the centre of L & R's bed. Molly, Harry and I also enjoy a game of soggy chew volleyball.....you keep throwing an old chew around until you gain points for getting it to land on window ledges, tables, beds and other items of furniture around the house. You can win MEGA bonus points if you hit a human with the chew or break something.  Molly is still the leader with this game although I am focussed on practising everyday to perfect my technique! I love to chase the pheasants who dare to come into our garden, they need to know it is OUR garden and not theirs.....Grrrrr! Since our move to Scotland I have gained a keen interest in hill climbing and loch swimming. Oh, almost forgot I bark at the Owls and the Buzzards too.

Career

I'm a fully qualified Planet Airedale, Airedale and CheeseDale Terrier! I passed all my final exams with flying colours and have  become a fully qualified member of the Planet Airedale team.  I currently furthering my knowledge and I am now studying again and hope one day to head up Planet Airedale's technology department.  I am advancing my knowledge of Dream Weaver and FrontPage. I do some freelance modelling for Planet Airedale and hope to be as comfortable as Molly and Harry in front of the camera. I have also broken the Land Speed record having the fastest recorded speed of any Airedale this century for pheasant chasing. I'm a fully qualified Poochie Pouch, this is the fine art of being a really smoochy, pouchie pup - if you want affection I'm your Dale. If you want a lap dog I'm your Dale. Like Molly and Harry I am also involved with publicity for Planet Airedale, promoting Planet Airedale where ever we go. I really do get a buzz out of the promotional work, it's great to meet so many people and their Airedales.

Unusual habits

Hmmm, I'm not sure if I have any unusual habits.  I do hate Fireworks and Thunder and Lightening storms, they absolutely terrify me and all I want to do is hide or wrap myself so tightly around the nearest human. In fact one day, when Linda's parents were looking after us we had a terrible Thunder storm, Linda's mum comforted me and let me on the sofa (don't tell anyone as we're not allowed on the sofas!), I wanted to show her my scarf impersonation, since that day she has called me her Airedale scarf! I have recently started a campaign to ban all fireworks, I know I am not the only one terrified of them. I hope one day to take my pawtition to my local MP.

Girlfriends

I don't have any special girl at the moment but I do have a number of close friends who happen to be girls! I'm a popular guy with a hectic social diary, I'm never short of female company although I think Harry is more of a Ladies Dale than me!

Toys

I love all toys and I'm so happy to be able to share with Molly and Harry. My favourite is without a doubt a Frisbee, I think I have 4 of them now. Throw my Frisbee and I'm there, I can chase and catch it with such Airedale style and grace! Actually, I'm not sure about the grace part as I have often landed in a big heap not looking where I am going as my eyes are fixed on the flying Frisbee, LOL! I do like to fetch the occasional stick and carry it for a while, then I get bored and drop it.
