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.

Sad News For Auntie's Friends




Hello everyone,

I heard some sad news today. All my life, I have known a pretty Rough Collie called Cassie. Today, I heard that she died. Apparently, her liver failed. Her People seemed very sad. Their daughter is an old friend of Auntie’s – she even stayed in our house and looked after uncles Benjamin and Barney (the dogs before me) while My People went on holiday (they won’t go on holiday without me because of my fits, but they used to like going to a place called Greece because uncles B and B could cope with it). The weird thing is that we heard earlier in the week that the dog belonging to Auntie’s Best Friend, Auntie Claire, also died – he was a Springer spaniel called Dylan and he was alright…

So Auntie has two sad friends right now…

Mummy had a run of horrible days at work. She had to do extra work while one of her team was off, and then the third team member went off and did some training elsewhere so she was pretty mad about that (she said the training should have got shifted to another time). All of her clients, she said, were mad, grumpy, or crying (she works in a hospital), and her boss was getting snippy so Mummy got fed up. Then, on Friday, when she got back to her own area, the first person she went to got very sick indeed so that was pretty horrible to have to deal with. She had to work an extra day this week too and now she is very tired because I have had an upset stomach for the last two days and I keep waking her up so I can go out. Auntie stayed home with me and took me for a walk (Mummy did an extra long shift and was home later than usual) and we had lots of fun together. I cuddled Mummy for a long time when she finally came home and sat down.

Today, when we climbed through a ditch, a branch pinged back at Mummy and hit her in the eye but I think she is ok. It made her eye run a lot and she was afraid she would get a black eye and all of her patients would make fun of her and crack jokes about needing their beds etc.

Regards to all,
