I could have sworn she said "birthday"


I followed her up the stairs cos I thought she said "birthday". I was looking forward to all the paper like that Beth had. I should have realised when I saw all the towels. It's not as bad as it looks really. I do get A LOT of fuss afterwards when she dries me. And I am very fluffy and cute now. aw

Strange day out

Me and the she boss have been out all day today. She'd planned surprises for me. The first one wasn't too good. We went in one of those big cars which you share with lots of other people. I don't like those but it wasn't for too long. I just curled up under the seat which made me feel safest. We walked through some shops where I attracted alot of attention and then we got to Sutton Park!! That was the first surprise cos I've only ever gone in our car or occasionally walked there.
We didn't go very far before the she boss sat down to read the paper. I was most disappointed as that seemed to be it but then my friend Janet arrived in her car. I haven't seen her for ages (last time was with Leo) and they both took me for a good walk with lots of mud. We went for lunch as well where there were lots of dogs with bosses.
Janet went off in her car and we just carried on walking back through all the shops but then landed up at Aunty Joy's house! Another surprise. I've never been in there before and her and Uncle Ted seemed pleased to see me. There was another lady there too and all us ladies went off for more walking. The others left us after a bit but me and the she boss just carried right on and ended up back at home just in time for tea. What a lovely day.
I'd like to know when the sun's going to shine again though. It's stopped raining for a few days now but there's no sign of any sun.

Walks! and then some

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article4608335.ece This brought a tear to the she bosses eye. I was watching. She was telling me all about it. I hope she doesn't get any funny ideas. There's walks and there's walks. We both agreed though that we admire Rosie very much and wondered what we might do.

Holiday?

Me and the she boss went on holiday to the garden last night and slept in the flappy house out there. I got woken up by some little creature scratching along trying to come in but is was good to be in there again. She's putting it away now so it doesn't look like it will happen again soon :-(

Blog changes

Do you like the new bigger font? Nan & Grandad came to see us last night for ages and they had a good look at what I say about myself. Only thing was, they said I wrote a bit small so we made it bigger as we thought there might be others like them out there.
Have you heard (about) this? http://domsweirdnews.blogspot.com/2007/11/japanese-musical-road.html I like that idea. Do you think they could make those noisy things on the road that keep the sheep in do that. They make me jump even when the she boss warns me it's coming and however fast or slow she goes. I suppose it might help if I could see out of the front window myself to see when one's coming

Wet camping

This is the weather today .......







This was the weather for the rest of the week while I've been away in the flappy house with the she boss ...........



I thought she was having a laugh when she got me in the car with all the stuff and especially when we just did little journeys dropping things off to start with and then came home again. It turned out she'd forgotten my lead. I suppose that was really my fault cos I'd snuck in the car without my outdoor wear on while she was packing just in case she was thinking of leaving me behind.
We went first to the place where we met the nice lady Claire last year but there were no flappy houses there! Something to do with all the rain we were having so we had to find somewhere else. It was not a bad place and we got visited by lots of rabbits, ducks and little creatures which was quite exciting. I'm with the she boss when she says we don't mind any of them just so long as they don't expect a share of our food or bed.

We did lots of exploring. We wanted to go back up that big hill about the Kind Scouts but we couldn't see it any of the days with all that rain. When we were exploring on the first night we met a cat. He had a bit of an identity crisis and thought he was really a BIG cat I reckon because he attacked me!! Of all the cheek. The she boss had to shoo him off because he kept taking a run at me from behind just when I was minding my own business. I never met one like that before.
We'd only just got used to our home for 2 nights when we had to move. Completely. To a new place quite a way away. On the day the sun was shining as well when we could have gone for a proper walk (not that we could see the Kind Scout still). I was a bit fed up with it all by then even though there were ducks again. There were also lots of noisy children. Not that they got in the way. But you never know. The friend Peter came to see us at tea time and that cheered me up. I felt much better then although I still slept snuggled up to the she boss that night just in case she was thinking of moving again.
We managed a really long walk over the hills eventually. It started off sunny but then there were things called stair rods coming out of the sky along with that nasty rumbly noise that I hate. Talk about scared all the way up there. This is the hill that it was sort of sunny on:

We do like hills though. It seems like lots of other people do too cos we always see someone up there.
It was sunny on the day we had to come home but not enough to dry up all the mud so the flappy tent is out in the garden now. At least we know it works and were very cosy in there listening to the pattering. Some people looked very wet to me. This last picture was me waiting for my food one day. I think I was even dribbling. I must have been very hungry. I thought I was quite a handsome dog until I saw this picture. I've got some strange proportions haven't I? I blame the parents
When the she boss was packing up we saw the most ridiculous sight. Some big fancy dog came poncing along in a rain coat and galoshes!! No joke. His she boss had put him in a coat that covered everything except his face and his bum! I know it was muddy but we had our own ways of dealing with that. You wouldn't catch me allowing that one.
The she boss was a bit excited cos we saw one of those really blue birds along the river on our last walk. I heard her telling our nice neighbours and they said they see them all the time where they live. That put her in her place.
I was very glad to be home again although it was nice being outside all the time again and we slept VERY well
