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.

Snow And Sulks


Hello,

We had snow on Thursday. Mummy left for work on time and took ages to get there, only to be greeted with a message saying that however late you were, you had to stay that late after your shift. Mummy refused. She said that she has to get back to me and she would do it in half hour chunks but that's her limit. She left on time that day and got home to me earlier than usual, as the roads had cleared. The next day, she found out that they didn't have to make up the time after all so she was pleased…well, more "should think so too" than pleased, but happier than she was!

We had a nice walk in the snow. Half way through, when we were in the wood, we met Cassie's family – their son Stuart was with them with his dog, a pretty Chocolate Labrador called Bella. We all walked together and Bella told me off when I tried to round her up so she got put on the lead but I didn't mind really, as I did ask for it!

Mummy was really tired on Friday and it was raining and raining. She had worked an extra half an hour and then missed a bus because she was shopping so I was upset with her for being late and I cried and cried into her lap to tell her so. Our walk was not a lot of fun, and we both got very wet and muddy, then we went round Auntie Angie's and she gave me two sausages, which made me feel a lot better.

Yesterday, Mummy and Auntie went out for lunch with Tracy the Tree hugger and her man, Steve. I was really put out that Mummy was leaving me again and I withheld her cuddles to punish her when she came home. This morning though, she woke up almost crying because she had been dreaming that Auntie Judy was going to make her have The Mother live with her again and nobody was supporting her or being on her side (my Auntie was not there in the dream or she would have stood up for Mummy - always) and it got her so upset that she woke up with a muffled sob. I went and kissed her face and then we had a nice long cuddle – I lay down alongside her and put my 'arms' around her and tried to make her feel better. I think I did too good a job of it, though, because she went back to sleep and I had to get her up at 11.30!

Uncle Ricky came round just as we were getting ready to go for my walk and I had waited long enough what with her lie-in, thank you, so I kept going to the door until she got the hint and took me out and left him talking to Auntie – but not before we showed him some of my Doggy Dance moves so that he would know that I am just as good as that dog that was on the telly the other day.

On my walk today, the best thing ever happened – I saw my Emily! She used to be my regular girlfriend and I used to walk with her and Auntie Raye a lot but when Raye got Troy the puppy, we (me and Troy) decided we didn't like each other and we growl at each other. Each time we meet, I try to get him to play and he still snaps at me (all because I pushed him over into a ditch when he was little!), but today Emily told him to play and I really tried to be polite to him because it would be nice if we could get on so that I can be with my Emily and we managed our biggest distance ever without things getting too rowdy. I can't be on the lead round him yet as I don't trust him – he has tried to bite my back end several times and there are a couple of things back there that are precious to me! It was lovely to be with my Emily though – I have other girlfriends (platonic only, Mummy insists) but Emily is my One True Love…


I hope you are all well,

Regards,
