I'm still here!

Hi All,
I expect you have been wondering where I have been and what I have been doing?

Thing is, mum has to help me with my blogging and she seems to have been busy..... so what have I been doing?

Well, in September I was enjoying running around with lots of sticks in the garden while mum and dad were cutting back and tidying up my garden.

In October I went on holiday to my Gran's house in Cornwall and had lots of walks by the sea!

I had a lovely time, but overstayed my welcome as I shouted and jumped up at Gran. I have a lot of work to do to try and behave better and mum and dad are working hard with me using a technique called BAT. I hope I can be a better dog soon.

 

Then, in November, I started going back to my dog classes a little more regularly and so far have really enjoyed them.  I have also been enjoying my tennis balls.

Then, early December, well last weekend actually, a really strange thing happened.  Two of my toys disappeared and two different ones replaced them!

Dad has been going around all weekend singing the 'Swap Shop' theme.  He reckons the foxes have been playing in the garden again and got bored with their toys and swapped them with two of my Kong toys!  very funny!

Catch up with you soon! x

 

 

Lazy rainy Sunday afternoon....

Hi All,
Well.... there goes summer!  The rain finally hit us at lunch time and I think mum and dad are not particularly looking forward to an evening walk in the cold, rain and mud.  Not sure I am either.

Here I am "chilling out" as us young folk say, whilst the Sunday papers are interrogated by the rest of the household.

I feel a snooze coming on......

Fun in the garden - nearly a year!

Hi Everyone,

Hope you have enjoyed the summer as there is more than a whiff of Autumn in the air now, particularly in the mornings.

This weekend I was so well behaved at 'granny Pam's' that mum has taken a picture of me to celebrate what a good dog looks like.  See for yourself!

I have been here nearly a year in October and it's my 4th birthday this week.  I must be starting to settle down a bit.

 

My room is finished!

Hi Everyone,

Great news...... my room (they call it the study, but what do they know), has been redecorated.

New wall colour, a fabulous new carpet, which I am currently testing out and can report back is very comfy.

And best of all, my crate is back in its place under the window, complete with lovely vet bed luxury bedding.

I am a lucky dog

Scotland jollies.

Hi Everyone,

Just checking in after a fantastic few days with our friends up north: Nicky & Tony (human), Duke and Mia (Dobermans).

Here we are on our daily hill walk along the path between what used to be evergreen forest, just starting to re-grow.  Followers of my blog will remember this was a snowy walk in March!

Still have a few problems about 'who is the boss' between me and Duke.  Mia was happy to play, but Duke and me did have a few cross words.  We seemed to fall out in the field walks, but were happy enough to ignore each other along the forest trail.

Here we are eyeing up, though we did agree to ignore each other and go separate ways!

Whilst the humans were working on the house during the day, the doggies relaxed.  I played 'farm dog' by sitting in the back of the open car, snoozing, sunbathing and keeping an eye on anyone passing by.

In the evenings, after our tea-time walks, I was allowed in the house and even into Duke's basket! (hee hee!). He and Mia have a lovely bedding called 'vet bed'.  It feels so nice.

As you can see.... I loved snuggling around on it.  Nicky has kindly given me some for my bed at home!
This has been a great holiday. I hope yours was too! xx
 

It really has been too hot!

This is me trying to keep still and cool down!  There is a big window open just above me and I am trying to feel some breeze.

I don't know quite where to put myself.

Mum tried putting a wet towel on my tummy and back to help cool me - but I wasn't keen. Luckily for me she decided not to squirt me with the hose as she thinks I might be scared! Not keen!

There is always lots of cool water available and I drink loads all the time, but I am still HOT!

Mum wont take me out for a walk at lunchtime either because she says I will feel worse.

Still, I have to agree, it's much nicer when we walk late evening, when it is a bit cooler.... not keen on the hooting owls though - they spook me a bit!

Hello Everyone!

So sorry I have not kept in touch lately. Where does the time go!  I will try and get back up to date with my news.
Mum and dad went on holiday for 4 days in May and I had a new adventure at my new exclusive hotel for doggies that are nervous. (http://www.meadowcroftkennels.co.uk/id15.html )
I had a fantastic time!
They put this picture up on their Facebook page for mum and dad to see whilst they were away!

The lovely kennel ladies fed me, took me out for exercise in the paddock and best of all - played with me!!!  Here I am waiting for the ball to be thrown!

I am still trying to be a good dog..... and I am improving a little bit!  Look at my cute - butter wouldn't melt face :-)
