Normal service resumed!

Today I am back to being full of the joys of winter. We have had so much rain of late and mum and dad are really fed up with me getting wet 3 times a day that they are considering getting me a new outfit. Yes, another one! I am starting to feel like Kate Moss and will be walking the cat, sorry dog walk pretty soon demanding huge fees. I can't post the picture here but this outfit is a waterproof 4 legged suit with holes for "those" places. Yet more street cred for me to loose....I don't think I have much left to be honest.

Hey guys and gals, many thanks for all your supportive messages. Mum really appreciated them.

Deep in thought

Mum got a phone call on Saturday to say that a good friend of hers in America had died very suddenly. Mum had only seen her in April when she was over visiting everyone here. The son was upset too and clutched the Simpsons book Ruthie had bought over for him when she was here at Christmas. Ruthie loved England and in the last 18 months she had visited our shores no less than 3 times. Tomorrow (Tuesday) will be Ruthies funeral.

Hey folks it's photo time!

Mum is on a roll now and here are some photos to remove yet more of my street cred!

Me in her new car terrified of moving or being sick on her new floor! Not that mum is a bad driver or anything.......


Me in my stylish new padded, waterproof coat. Taken just a few mintues ago before dad took me out for my evening constitutional in the horrible wind and rain (yep, the one that got lost and then found again!)


This photo was taken the day my familiy collected me from the Mayhew Animal rescue home. I was all excited and nervous and just wanted to get wherever it was I was heading.
The photo is the silliest one of me I have ever seen!

Visit to nannies!

I do love to visit my nan!
Whenever I go over she always makes sure I have plenty of water and the odd treat or two is normally waiting for me. Last night was no different. There was a nice choice of yummy doggie biscuits waiting for me when I got there. I of course show my appreciation by sitting on her lap and licking her to bits. She always tastes so nice.

Dad took me out for a lovely walk in the rain before we set off and I was soaked right through. Silly mum took a photo of me in the car while we were on our way over to nannies.

Not exactly looking my best am I!!
Once again mum had a flash of inspiration and decided to detour across London to take some photos of some of the posher shopping areas in the West End and their Christmas decorations. Stay tuned for those! Mums friend in New York has a blog and he has decided to to just post some pictures, no words, for everyone to see. There are only a few photos so far but he only started this blog this week so do check back often. Please go and visit his pages. He is a taxi driver in NY too and some of his stories on his other blog are very entertaining indeed!

This and that.....

I have been missing in action a bit this week. No reason really other than nothing is coming together if that makes sense. What with the coat palaver the other day and no Joe Stains, you naughty doggy, you can't see the inside of the drier as my poor poor mum had to get down on her hands and knees to wash the inside of it. Stupid woman had a moment of inspiration and thought that soaking a towel and putting that in the drier would clean it as the towel went round. WRONG! I dunno where she gets these ideas from but it didn't work! So there she was washing it all out. She did'nt want my help either so Marvin I thought I had got a new name too "oh for goodness sake" as that is all she said if I dared to go near her while she was cleaning.

Poor old Molly lost her coat too up the back field too in the week. Oddly enough it's the very same coat as mine. Do you think there is a fault or something with the fastenings?? Sadly Molly never found her coat and now is the owner of yet another new coat.

I had a lovely walk round today and met another new found bestest friend in the world called Honey. Honey was lovely and at first I couldn't understand why she wasn't charging all over the fields like I was....then I noticed that she only has 3 legs. Oooh I felt so sad for her. Her mum was telling my mum that she had an accident and had to have the leg removed but that she manages ever so well. I hope I see Honey again, she was kinda cute too......

We have had LOADS of rain this week and the fields are just like a mud bath so as you can imagine I have been going home just covered in the stuff. My coat is like thick muddy dreadlocks at the moment. In fact, my coat is stiff where it is so dirty and mucky. I think I have been dunked in the bath 3 times this week just to shower off the mud. I think I need a pampering or two.

Cold weather at long last!

I am delighted to say it's been colder today down south. I am really fed up with this silly warm weather as I wanted to wear my new rather attractive coat. It's waterproof and wait for this, fleece lined too. What more could a doggy want?! I felt really smart wearing it that was until I lost it. Oppps! Dad was a bit fed up about it and as it was still dark this morning he couldn't find it. Lunchtime we went back up there to look for it and thankfully there it was. Soaking wet and covered in mud but there. When we got home dad put it in the tumble drier. Wrong move daddy! Oooh mum wasn't too pleased at all when she come home and went to put some washing in there to dry....the entire inside of the drum was covered in mud.

Tonight on our walk we met everyone...Boo, Roxy, Rufus, Maisie, Cliffy, Dizzy and 2 new friends but I don't know their names. We had fun again. Cliffy's mum was telling my mum that she hugged trees!!!! What?! Is she mad?! Mum laughed so much at her but it turns out she hugged the trees as she was hiding from Cliffy up the park. He couldn't see her and ran round like a mad dog to find his mum and there she was behind the tree. I did worry I have to say....seems a bit odd to do don't you think?

*Yawn*

I am so tired today.....I don't think I got enough sleep today!!

I have had a lovely day...don't you just love Sundays!

I love Sundays!!!
I get the family all to myself and even dad seems to want to stay out longer in the mornings. Today we were out for over 2 hours just wandering round the brook. We met up with Bailey, Maisie and Molly and I had a grand old run about with them. It was lovely and the sun was shining even though it was a bit parky round my nether regions. I do only have little legs you see.

I got home and mum was still fast asleep so I jumped on the bed and gave her lots of licks and she woke up with that "what day is it" look and then gave me a lovely cuddle. Dad gave me my breakfast and I really enjoyed that. Last night mum went shopping at Asda and got my a whole cooked chicken. She gave me half...can you believe that, a half a chicken all to myself and this morning I got the other half for breakfast. I do have a problem though....I think it may have given me wind! Whoops!!!

This afternoon our walk was lovely and this time we managed to meet up with Troy, Maisie, Dizzy, Roxie and Rufus so with me that was 7 dogs all running round like mad dogs. We had a ball and a new dog on the block arrived and didn't like us and kept barking. I think he really wanted to come and play but his mum put him on a lead and dragged him away. What a shame!

Hope everyone has had a great weekend!!

Fiddling about today!

Today mum is feeling a little bored so is fiddling with my blog. I'm not entirely sure she knows what she is doing so if I disappear in a cloud of smoke you'll know why.

She is today trying to add links to all my friends blogs.....so if you have been left out so far she is very sorry but is probably getting confuddled with it all!

This is a learning curve for us all.....they do say you learn something new everyday and today is the day for learning about HMTL or whatever it was mum called it!

Pssst.....'tis I at long last!

I'm here at long last! Goodness me, what a palaver. First Orange let me down and then I can't post at all....never mind, here I am in all my glory!!

Hasn't the weather here in jolly old England been terrible today? It has rained all day and to be honest all of my walks today have been wet. In fact tonight I was put in the bath as I was black, and I do mean black from head to toe. Mum worries about the cushions on the sofas as they are new and pale blue....the mud really shows up on them you see. Here is a photo of me looking all wet and silly in the bath earlier.


When I get out of the bath I run round the house like a mad dog rubbing my wet body up against anything I can just to try and get dry. Mum screams "where are the towels" as she always wants to stop me shaking myself and splattering the walls, windows, floor and beds with wet water. I don't know why as I think it's the best fun myself.

My friend Molly is back from her holidays. Oh bless her, she had to go with her mum and dad to Cornwall in their caravan. She would rather stay in town and come out and meet up with Boo, Bailey and me. She says it's much more fun. Molly has a very nice parker type coat to keep her warm. It's pink with a fur hood an come from, wait for it.....Harrods!!!! How posh is that?! I have to say Molly does look so lovely in this coat and I really would like one too!

I have to own up to something fellow doggies....so much has happened this week but I can't remember what. Do you think that is because it's time for my nap?? It's been a long day you know chewing up one of the sons books. He will leave them on the floor in his bedroom so what does he expect....I am a dog afterall!!!

I'm doomed.....

.....to not ever being able to post again!

I was unable to post at all last night .

I am going to get very sad at not being able to talk to my friends
