OCD

I heard the she boss say I must be OCD. Mmmm One Cute Dog? One Clever Dog? Must be one of those. She said it when she was talking about me looking out for squirrels. I spend a lot of time at our back window so cute (with my ears up) or clever must match somewhere.
I've still been coughing so she took me to see the doctor tonight. I saw a nice lady who was very kind and I behaved well for her. She didn't do anything too nasty and she gave me a little rattly bottle. I don't know what was in it but the she boss dropped something out of it on the floor tonight and I nicked it. I wasn't sure it tasted too good but I ate it anyway. Especially as the she boss chased me to try and get it back. Not a chance
The nice doctor said I'd got a throw infection. I've never had one of those before. I've never been bothered about going after things that people throw for me. Squirrels are much more interesting. I wonder if that's why it's ended up infected

Noises

Still coughing but trying hard not to cos I heard the she boss say something about vets. I let her have a look down my throat but she said she couldn't see anything and I heard her saying that the vet might want to send me to sleep so he could have a better look! Is that the same as 'put me to sleep'? I'm not THAT bad. I've really got to try and stop so nothing really bad happens to me. I'd miss everyone too much. I don't think I'm coughing as often as I was. I didn't wake anyone up last night anyway.
The he boss didn't believe I was coughing. He thought I was just doing a good impersonation of that nice smelling bread making thing like the starling birds copying the phone noises

Coffing

I've got a cough. It's good cos I'm getting extra attention just when I hadn't been getting much. I even got the she boss to get up at 5 o'clock this morning just to check I was OK :-) I don't know where it came from and probably it will go soon. Meanwhile, it's getting them talking about me. The she boss thought a drink of water would shut me up when I woke her but I'm not keen in the middle of the night like that. She kept calling me to my bowl but I wasn't interested. Which just goes to prove the age old saying ...."You can take a dog to water but you can't make them drink"

Sadness

The she boss has had hardly any time with me this week. I'm feeling very neglected. She took her going away bag and went away for one night for starters. Then when she came back she went out again. I don't know; I've hardly seen her and when she's here, she hardly looks at me never mind talks to me. She's just too busy. Today she was out all day again like when she goes to work only I know she didn't got there. I've got a feeling she went to see my friend Peter and I heard her saying something about radios. It seems this is what she's been up to and I've heard her AND the friend Peter coming out of the computer now http://web.me.com/nicholls/Pete_and_Friends/Podcast/Entries/2009/2/27_Pete_Pdcast.html It's all very confusing but I wish I could have gone. I'm really missing her and, I'm embarrassed to say, went a bit OTT when she came back tonight but I was very glad to see her and I had such a lot to tell her. I must admit though, I'm beginning to wonder if I'd be better off somewhere foreign. Halifax or somewhere.
The she boss has had a nice chat though tonight and told me about this funny guy. It can't even hop straight cos of his wiggly tail. Bit like me when I'm excited http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7915634.stm

River walks

I took the he and she boss for a brilliant walk today. All over the hills and along a river for miles. The river had something to do with birds - pigeons or doves or something. Same difference. We didn't see any of those but we did see dippers and gangly herons. AND we saw Uncle Ted. Fancy bumping into him. I think we were all abit surprised. We managed to avoid seeing him again though. No exciting pictures I'm afraid though

Talking of squirrels ..........

I very nearly caught one today in my garden. If I hadn't hesitated at the last minute to work out whether to grab his tail or the rest of him, I would have. Next time. That's if he dares to come back.
By the way, the he boss has been coughing and I think he might have given it to me. I hope he doesn't give me his toothache as well

Squirrels

This looks a good idea if you've got little stubby legs like this little fella. Not so sure with my long skinny ones. I might have to team up though. He doesn't live too far away http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7889698.stm
