Off to the beach………

Every one is promising today is the day we are off to the beach.  “its surely too cold for anyone to have a picnic today – so we can take Bart to the beach ” mum said – not sure what she means but I would love to have a picnic or two.  We are going to Saunton Sands, which is huge, with many other dogs to play with.  Last time we were there I was trying to be on my best behaviour, trying really hard, but a ball was thrown, I ran like the wind to get it and unfortunately up ended one of the children in my pack.  When I swing round really fast my ears get in my eyes and I cant see - perhaps I’ll wear my bandana to the beach – I look rather fine then 

A Returning Friend…………….

Its a beautiful day in Goodleigh, and today my old friend George is returning to the Byre - our holiday cottage.  He came to play last year, a big brown dog who is very well behaved.  I went down for a quick visit last time he was here and he really was not that interested in coming for a quick walk - so off I set.  I took a left out of the drive, quick drink from the spring then off to find apples.  I am quite lucky that just a little walk away is a rather lovely apple tree and at that time of year a number of them had fallen to the ground.  In hindsight I did rather eat too many, and by the time dad had found me I was feeling ill.  I had a very quiet afternoon with a grumbling tummy - bet George was glad he stayed at home.  I would love to be able to say I never touched a rotten apple again, but……………………….

I Love Rugby

Watching the World Cup al night makes me very tired

It’s Christmas!

This is my favourite time of year, Christmas trees to attack and decorations everywhere, plus sweets!

Had great fun yesterday, me and Dad put a tree in The Byre for the family coming for Christmas. Apparently if you just put the tree up and leave the decorations for the family to do they really enjoy it, seems a bit lazy to me but it adds to the Christmas experience. Why do work when someone else can do it for you, strange!

Anyway the place looks great, all warm and cozy Dad even left a bone for their dog, more than I ever get!

Still I’m still searching for the chocolates in the card with windows, my brothers and sister have really hidden them well this year but I’ll find them.

Have a great Christmas

I’m for ever blowing bubbles!

As you already know I have a good appetite and will eat most things, wrapped or unwrapped. Well last night I obviously felt that I needed an internal clean up because whilst everyone was otherwise engaged I went on a search for those Christmas chocolates that my brothers and sisters get every year. Thing is I know that they eat one chocolate every day, so I need to find them quickly.

Any last night as I went up stairs I heard my brother Sam in the bathroom so thought maybe he was having a sneaky feast but he was taking a bath and I think I frightened him a bit when I barged in.

But I was very quickly diverted by what I thought was a large bar of white chocolate in the shower, so knowing I need to move fast in these circumstances I gobbled the bar down in one!

Well, I realised pretty quickly that it wasn’t a bar of white chocolate but a bar of soap!

Still, at least I was smelling sweetly for the night!

The Holidays are coming!

Whilst watching telly with the family the other night I heard this song “The holidays are coming” and it had this big red lorry on the screen, for some reason it reminded me that every year when I hear that song my family have a great time decorating the house and usually filling the house with loads of chocolate for me to eat.

The best fun is the game of hide and seek they play with these boards with lots of square holes filled with chocolate. Each of my brothers and sister have one and they usually hide them in their room. Well the first year I found them they were in the kitchen but I think after I found and ate all them they probably thought it was too easy. So now, when they leave a door open, I run up stairs and hunt for the Chistmas boards filled with squares of chocolate, to be honest they are usually just on top of a cabinet but sometimes they try to hide them.

So, now that I’ve heard the Christmas tune I guess the chocolates will be coming soon!

A walk in the river!

Went for a walk with my friends this morning Jenna and another Lab called Molly and her Mum Winnie. It’s one of my favourite spots, Brayford Woods which is great fun because it has a river which we paly in.

It was was great fun today because Winnie decided to join us, at least I think she wanted to, well she was struggling to get down the bank into the water so I thought I should give her a hand, she did look funny all wet and waving her arms about shouting and screaming, seemed like she was having a great time. My Mum, Cally seemed to think it was fun as well as she was laughing so much she actually started to cry, weired!
