June 2009


I was in big trouble on Friday! Mummy’s brother, Peter, and his wife came to leave their car here whilst they are away. Peter had light colored trousers on and I jumped up and made muddy paw marks on them!  Do you remember when I jumped up Mrs. Bayford’s  ( the coal merchant’s wife) and ruined her white trousers?  This was a similar incident and Mummy had to sponge Peter’s trousers and dry them with her hair dryer!
I have some good news! Instead of going to the kennels next week, I am going to stay with Ruby and Saffy! Steve says he will look after me and I am pleased about this as I was worried about going to a strange place. Also they have a BIG pond in their garden – maybe I can swim in it. Rusty is going to stay at home and Steve will come and feed her. She is pleased too as she likes her home comforts!
We are going fishing now, looks like trout will be on the menu tonight!

Here is another of my hose videos!  I got into trouble! If you look, you can see where the water sprays high in the air. The bedroom windows were open and the water went in and made Mummy’s bed wet!
I had a great birthday! I got a new bed, a big towelling bag which Daddy will ziip me into when I get wet shooting and I can dry off in it, a smelly mouse ( from Rusty ) and a special dinner of roasted rabbit.
Today I was measured as I have a to have a collar for when I go on vacation. It will have a tag in the shape of a silver bone attached to it with my name and Daddy’s telephone number on it. I take a size 6 collar according to Mummy. In two weeks time I shall be on vacation – I am still a bit worried about it but Rusty says it will be OK. I can take my favorite toy with me and Mummy says she will put some treats in a box for me.
Now we are going fishing for a bit – Daddy has a sore toe and cannot walk very well but he said that we will go to the lake and I can have a swim. Back soon.

I am so excited – only one more day and then it is my first birthday!  We are going to have a party and I have invited Saffy and Ruby. I told Rusty she could invite some people and she has asked that awful dog Monty ( the one who ate Ruby’s pork pie hat) and the Swan family and the Canada Goose family. Luckily neither the Swans or Canadas can come as their babies cannot fly yet!
I wonder what I shall get for presents – bones? A joint of beef? A new bed? Clothes – I would love a pair ( no, two pairs of Jimmy Choos) something like the ones in the pic! 

Jimmy Choos - 2 pairs please!

They would be great on shoot days – I would be extra tall and could see where the pheasants have fallen.
it is only 2 and a half weeks until I go on holiday – I am a bit nervous about it but suppose I will settle in. Now I am going to be brushed as I am moulting and have a lot of dead fur.  Back soon
