Gosh, it seems ages since I wrote anything!  Sorry about that – my days are so full now that I am nearly adult.
Most days we go to the wood in the mornings and check the traps for rats and squirrels and I have a swim in the pond. Then we come home and help Mummy pack her parcels – my role in this is to lie by the gate and bark if any delivery or postmen come so that Mummy knows they are there.
After lunch Daddy and I usually go to the river where he fishes and I do water retrieving. Then it’s home for dinner – best time of the day! Then we go for another walk and more training and then we water the greenhouse and I play with the hose. It is a devil of a thing and no matter how hard I try, I cannot stop the water coming out!
I have two important events on the horizon. It is my first birthday on June 13th – all presents gratefully received – Rusty tells me that I shall have a cake and all sorts of goodies! The other event is my holiday! Mummy and Daddy are going away and so Rusty and I are going back to where I was born. ApparantlyI shall have my own room with indoor and outdoor areas and I shall be taken for walks. Rusty will be in a different part to me but I can go and see her. I am a bit anxious about going away as I do not think there will be roast beef or salmon on the menu – Rusty says it will be dry food – ugh! But is only for 9 nights and Mummy does need a rest – sometimes she falls asleep at the computer.
Well, time for my evening stroll now – we are going to look for the badger who lives in the next field. More soon!
