Strange days out

They took me out for the day today. It was OK. We had a good walk at a new place before they went off and left me in the car for a while but I didn't mind that. What I did mind was the next place we stopped at. There were signs everywhere telling he and she bosses that they mustn't let dogs out of their cars because the dogs that lived there would kil!! :s I believed them as well when I saw them. The he and she boss left me in the car and this dog stayed on guard. He was really scary and I'm embarrassed to say, I cried a lot for the bosses to come back. I'm usually happy to curl up and have a sleep in the peace and quiet of an empty car with with something like that standing glaring, I just couldn't relax.



We picked up Jane, an old friend of mine on the way home. I haven't seen her in ages and it was really good to see her again. I heard she was Swazi somewhere with lots of rabbits. We nearly had someone smash into the car on the way home but I'm glad the she boss is a good driver and not an angry person or it could have been nasty.

The good things didn't end with Jane coming. Who should turn up later but Blobbie's he boss. Wow! What excitement. Haven't seen him in a while either and I just don't have words to describe how overwhelmed I felt. I don't know what it is about him but I do love to see him. He stayed for quite a while nattering to all of the others. Sigh

Evening out

We had a great evening yesterday, me and the she boss. We did all the usual just got home things like have food, wash up then she got into all her walking gear and took me all the way down the motorway to Malvern hills! I was thinking it was a waste of time going that late and was a bit fed up with the car journey but I'd forgotten we've got REALLY big days now. We had a brilliant time and stayed until it was getting dark. It was very clear - great for seeing the rabbits. I did a lot of running around and had to go on the lead because I got too hot but it was fun. It smelled like Summer :p

Dog's life

I thought I was going for a good walk with the she boss yesterday cos she had the right gear on. Next thing I knew, she talked to someone on that little box then changed it all into everyday stuff. THEN she disappeared for the day and didn't come back till too late for us to go out anywhere. I know she went to that friend Peter's place cos I knew the smell but I know she was very tired so perhaps it's a good job she didn't take me this time.
And today it's just rained. All day

Loneliness

The he and she boss have been coming and going all over the shop this week. I don't understand it all. First one was gone and didn't come back till after bedtime the next day. Meanwhile, the other one disappeared and I was afraid I was going to have to get my own breakfast the next day. They're both back now and the he boss has been in the garden with me all day to make up for it. I know the she boss has seen other animals again where she went. I could smell donkey, chicken and even scary cow things. Maybe I'm glad I didn't go

Stone those crows!

I had a really nice walk with the she boss today but she didn't half go a pace. I like that but just have to watch that I don't lose her.
I don't know what it is with those crows this year. There we were, walking innocently through the park when a group of them decided to have a go at me again. I'd done nothing! I think they must be friends or relatives of the ones in our garden and they told them I was coming. The she boss was impressed with some very athletic turns in the air I did to get my own back. She said if she'd had her phone to hand, there'd be a picture for you

I like this ...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1025428/Pig-Boots-The-worlds-porker-afraid-mud.html I think that would be better than having them rub my feet on a towel every time I come in out of the garden when it's rainy. Do you think they'd be able to find some to fit me?
And I like the new Sammy G/DUBLiT album. The she boss was listening to it in the car tonight when she took me to help her with the shopping. It's great

More holidays?

There a weird lot where I live. The she boss put the flappy holiday house up in the garden but she didn't go on holiday in it with me. Instead, I went out somewhere new with the he and she boss for a nice walk just as though we were on holiday yesterday. We had a good time. It was very hot and we found some caves to cool off in.

Little person Sara came round today. They all went off to somewhere with animals. I could hear little person talking about exciting and scary animals and they smelt of lots of different ones when they came back. That was all fine except they all had a picnic in the flappy house without me when they came back. It would have been nice to have been included. That Sara hasn't half got a lot to say for herself these days. She mentions my name a lot too. I'm impressed as she gives me my full pedigree title of THE Millie Dog. What a star

Gardening

The she boss pushed that noisy thing round the garden that makes the grass all nice for me poohing on. I like it when they do that because it wakes all those jumpy things up that go to sleep round the edges where it gets long. They're good fun. I don't hurt them although they do squeal sometimes but I like seeing them jump and chasing after them. They taste funny though

Holiday with Aunty Joy

I've had my holiday! And the weather was good! It met (nearly) all my expectations. Only thing was, I didn't get to run off the lead much because of all those silly white things that run around and kept shouting at me. I got into real trouble on 2 of our 3 days away. I wasn't to know my collar was wearing out when that sheep came right up while we were eating our lunch was I? What's a dog supposed to do except to give chase? Anyway, I got a nice new collar out of it: What do you reckon? Looks OK eh and very comfortable.
The one time I did manage to have a good run, I met a sheep unexpectedly. He ran, so I ran. Oh dear. I was in big trouble. I thought I'd lost the she boss and Aunty Joy but managed to find them again. The she boss was saying something about farmers with guns I was just worried I wouldn't find them again.
We apparently walked about 40 miles over the 3 days! We got very hot some of the time but there were plenty of places to cool off
Aunty Joy does some very silly things. And they tell me to act my age!
I had a lovely surprise on our last day when Leo's he boss joined us. But no Leo - mixed feelings about that. We went for miles and miles
I'm tired now
