About Me

My photo
I like food, walks, cuddles, more food, the seaside, other dogs, food, my frisbee and destroying things. Most of all I love My People and lots of lovely attention. Some say I'm spoiled. I say I get treated as I should be ;) I'm a healthy happy eight year old. The only thing wrong with me (God willing) is epilepsy which costs my owners lots of money and means I have to eat yukky tablets but otherwise seems to bother them more than it bothers me because they remember my fits and I don't. Other than that, I'm a happy lad and I love my people and I'm lucky to live in a place where there are nice walks. I wouldn't want to live in a town.

Today I Am Mostly Being...Good



Hello

Well, the fireworks calmed down during the week but they have been quite bad over the weekend. We were lucky on Friday night, because they had just got started and then it tipped down with rain so they stopped. Saturday was quite bad but there was lots of good telly so Mummy didn’t mind me being on her lap all evening (though she gets cross if I keep shuffling about and pushing my paws into her) and she organised their meal early so that she could sit with me (good ol’ Mummy). Last night was also bad for a while and then the cats from two houses away were yowling in my garden in the night so I had to bark at them (it’s my duty) so Mummy’s sleep was disturbed and she’s not happy…

On Saturday, we met Melo on the way back from her walk and then Mummy and Auntie Geri stood outside the new bungalow for aaages talking - so I whinged and poked Mummy with my nose because I was bored and I wanted my lunch! Mummy says I am rude sometimes and have bad manners.

We saw a dog that looks just like my friend Oscar and even though she was a new dog to us, I did not pull or lunge or growl so Mummy was pleased with me. Then we met the Little Brown Thing who belongs to That Weird Woman. The Little Brown Thing ran up to me full pelt and That Weird Woman was nowhere in sight. This makes Mummy cross as she says that letting your dog off the lead is one thing but being unable to see your dog is another thing entirely – she uses words like irresponsible and ‘just plain dumb’!

That Weird Woman is called Weird because she always wears a skirt and tights over the fields, whatever the weather, and she forgets she has met you before and asks stupid questions and also because she has a stupid voice (all this according to Mummy). Mummy doesn’t like her and I don’t like her dog who hasn’t been socialised and says rude things to me. Mummy gave us the chance to make friends but let’s just say that it didn’t work out so I chased him away. Mummy was pleased with me when she called me and I came straight back to her – That Weird Woman met us and said to Mummy that her dog is friendly and 'Just Wants To Play' but that’s not the impression I got! Mummy told her that I just don’t like her dog (true!) in the hope that she might keep her dog away from me.

Uncle Rick didn’t get that job so he is upset. There is still no news about The Mother. Auntie Judy keeps changing her story and apparently didn’t even know what sort of doctor was treating The Mother (she thought he was a Cardiologist but he’s ”just” a Geriatrician) so now she wants her to see a heart doctor. My People think she should be left in peace if her health is that bad, but Judy won’t listen to that…

Today I walked with Auntie Geri and Melo for part of my walk again. Before that, I met the cute Basset puppy and sat nicely but muttered at her and I could sense Mummy's disappointment, and so when I met a brand new Spaniel who kept woofing at me, I sat good as gold and said nothing and Mummy was very pleased with me indeed and made a huge fuss of me so that was lovely!!

I hope you are all well,

Regards to all
