Well today is my birthday, woohoo I'm 2.

I've been out chasing the rabbits and there were lots of them to chase :D

Here's a little video of me with my birthday present.

Not much to say, so some more photos for you.

I had an itchy elbow, but couldn't reach it :-/

Lovely day up on the slagbank

Monday 15th May 2012

Not much to write about lately.  Still not allowed to go chasing the rabbits :-(  I went to have a sniff of some geese today and they went all bonkers on me, hissing and flapping their wings, all because they had goslings with them.

Sunday 1st April 2012

It's been a while since I wrote anything.  The boss was working long hours all last week, so I spent a lot of time with Valey and the boss's dad.

It was a really hot week too, so by the time the night came around I was absolutely worn out and just wanted to sleep.

The boss was off this weekend, so I got to go chasing rabbits again, they're still evading me though, I don't get anywhere near close enough.  The only rabbit I get close to is that one in the back yard, but then there's either a door, or a rabbit hutch in the way.

17th March 2012

Well I was really in the dog house today.  It wasn't my fault though, it was those rabbits!!!  I saw one and ran after it, then in ran into the brambles and bracken, so I had to follow.  Okay so it was 35 minutes before I came back out again, but what's a dog to do?  You can't just let the scent go cold.

Never got close to it though, tricky little things they are, especially that one out the back.  Sits in his hutch when I go out, just teasing me.

It was a lovely day to chase the rabbits anyway, I don't know why the boss was so bothered, just because it took two hours to get home in the end.  If it was raining I could understand, but it was warm and sunny.

I'm sure that's why I had to have a bath when I got home, I don't know what's wrong with being muddy though, it's just not fair.

Tuesday February 28th

It's not fair, everytime I want to try out a new fashion I end up having to have a shower!  I hate showers as well, they make me smell all fresh and clean.....yuk.

I mean, what is wrong with mud socks?  I think they'd become quite popular if people just allowed them in the house. But noooo, you put on a set of mud socks and whoosh, you're whisked up at the front door and plopped straight into the bath :-(

I think they look quite dashing, can't see what all the fuss is about.

Tuesday 21st February

Met a greyhound on the beach this week.  Man, those guys are fast!!  I did manage to catch up with him a few times, but that was only when he stopped or changed course. 

That was a lovely day, it's a pity it's done nothing but rain ever since.  The kids are back at school now, so it's back to walking with granddad on the days when the boss works.  I don't mind that, it means I've got Valey to play with.

Today though we were up the quarry and through the mist I could only see Nella.  She's good to play with too, we had a great run round, although she's as mad as a hatter and rolls in all the muddy puddles.

I'm still doing my best to keep warm, not that it's cold in the house, but I just like to snuggle up in the quilt (I managed to get it before it was put back on the bed after being washed).

Thursday 9th February

Cold, cold, cold.  That's what we've had lately, some of the days have been nice. Like on Tuesday, it was lovely and sunny even though it was frosty.  All the gang were back out walking, they've all got over the bout of kennel cough that they had.  Thank goodness I didn't get it, because it sounds horrible.

Last night was so cold the rain froze as soon as it fell, so the pavements were all icy and slippy.

This is me sneaking a nap under a dressing gown.  Well with all this cold you have to stay warm somehow :D

Saturday 4th February 2012

What a horrible day, it's rained almost none stop, everywhere else has got snow though, but not us.

I'm staying well and truly under my quilt, too blooming cold to be going out there. It was bad enough this morning having to go out.

Saturday 28th January

Another lovely frosty day today.  This afternoon's walk to Walney was lovely, a bit too cold to dip in the water though.

I haven't been posting much, mainly as the boss has been working a lot so I've been going to granddad's and walking with him and Valey.  Me and Valey play on the beach, I pinch the ball and she chases me for it, it's great fun.

I think the overtime has finished for a while now though, because I heard the boss saying that people are back off the sick and no one is on holiday.  So things will be getting back to normal.

This isn't new, but I just can't help putting photos of myself up.

Nearly Christmas!!

We had a bit of snow last week but it soon disappeared.  Although it stayed on the hills for a bit longer.  This was the scene from one of my walks.

Looked much better in real life

And of course another picture of me, looking gorgeous as usual lol.

Saturday 10th December

It's been a funny week, the boss has been working lots more than usual, so the man known as dad (or granddad) has been looking after me.  It means I get to play with Valey more, and I've even dipped my toes at the the beach.  But the weather has been horrible, I don't like the wind and the rain :-(

They've out a weird thing up in the corner of the room, they call it a Christmas tree.  Not sure why they want a tree inside, especially when they said it's not for peeing against.

Tuesday 29th November 2011

Can't believe how long it is since I posted.  Although not much has happened in that time.  I've been spending my time going out and playing with my friends.  I've made a few new friends that I meet every morning, there's a huge pack of us now, it's great to run around with so many other dogs.

Lauren tried buying this daft outfit, as you can tell by the photo I was not impressed.  When she wasn't looking I ripped it to pieces hehehe.

This is me being a big softy, I like to sleep with people, it's much cosier than sleeping alone.

Friday 23rd September

It's been a sad time.  Anna the cat disappeared when we were on holiday, and this week she was finally found by a builder, only a few houses away from where she went missing.  She went to the vet, but was too ill, and the vet had to euthanize her to put her out of her pain and misery.  So there have been a lot of tears and upset.  She was mean to me sometimes when I wanted to play and she didn't, but I still miss her.  Here's some photos as a little memorial.

9th September 2011

Haven't been around for a while.  It's been a busy time.  The children have gone back to school and Lauren has started at her new senior school.  So we're back to getting up early in the morning.  I can't say I'm too keen on that, I like sleeping late.  But at least it means I get to run round with my pals who are all up early.

My Anniversary

It's a year ago today since I came to my new home.  It's gone by so quickly I can hardly believe it.

I've gone from this

To this 

And even though I say so myself, I'd pretty darn gorgeous :D

I've learned a lot of things in the last year, and I've been lots of places, but best of all I've had a family that loves me and gives me cuddles galore.

Monday 15th August

I've been on my first holiday.  We went to Wales, it was lovely.  I didn't think I was going to like it at first because it was ever such a long time in the car.  But when we got there it was a cottage on a farm, there were chickens and pigs, horses and goats and a donkey.

The donkey was noisy, woke us up every morning, but the chicken eggs were nice, the people were allowed to collect some each day.

We went to visit this castle when we were there, I think it was called Raglan.  It was was really nice, and they let me in, so that was good.

We also went to the Forest of Dean, it was great running through the trees, no rabbits to be seen though.


I managed to find myself a big stick while we were there.  Not as big as one of the ones I tried to get though.

Monday 18th July

Today was blimming horrible, I didn't want to go out this morning at all, but I was dragged out kicking and screaming.  This afternoon was better, managed a decent walk, but I'm still hyper tonight.

Just having a brew :D

Sunday 10th July

Well that rabbit is still eluding me.  I search high and low every day.

It was in here, I can smell it.  If only I could get right inside!

Friday 8th July

I was so excited yesterday I forgot to tell everyone it was my birthday.  So a belated

Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday dear me-ee
Happy birthday to me.
