Chaos!!

I don't know what's happening. Mummy and Daddy are going to this strange place and scraping walls and painting everything. They take me with them and keep saying home - but this is not my home!! Are they going senile! This place has no furniture and is cold and empty - not my idea of home. Home is a warm place with lots of lovely comfy places to sleep. Mummy seems very excited though and that is nice.
After a few days a man came and made the place all warm and Mummy has put my travel bed near the radiator so I'm now quite comfy. There is a lovely park next to this place and Mummy takes me walkies every time we're there so that is very nice.
At home, all is chaos with things piled up and all in the wrong places!!! Paddy and I don't know what to think and Billy, like all cats, hates change. I,m hoping the humans will get back to normal - will keep you posted....

Snuggling!

My favourite thing to do at the moment is snuggling. I love to get on Mummy's knee and snuggle, but here I am snuggling my blanky and trying to warm my cold nose. It's been so cold lately and all that white stuff fell out of the sky and it won't go away! It sticks to my tummy which is bare of fur due to the allergies. I had to suffer the indignity of wearing my blue jumper today. Mummy keeps buying different ones for me - she once bought one with sequins on it from Next!!! It didn't last long as I refused to move when I had it on. Then another one of my humans bought me a black one that said "I'm too sexy for this shirt" - that was never worn for long....

I know I haven't been posting for awhile. Mummy has been poorly and then it was all the business with paper and sellotape and dragging a tree in the house...!!! As you can see Mummy has scanned a couple of my holiday photos for you to see.
The first one is when I actually swam for the first time!!! Everyone was excited and so was I - it's nice to please your humans. The other is a rather beautiful one of me on the beach in Wales. Hope you like them!

Something called Christmas.

There is a bit of excitement in the air at my house. Mummy is shopping a lot - well she always shops - but more than usual and she's all excited and playing about with lots of paper all over the floor. She keeps hiding things, but says they're not for me but for FAMILY - as if I wasn't family!!
Someone asked about Paddy. Well, he's been a bit better lately and not such a pest for Mummy. Though only this morning he would not leave my bottom alone and it is very embarrassing for me. Mummy and Daddy shout - but he won't be told. He sleeps in the kitchen and I sleep in the hall at night. If I slept with him he would lick me to death!!
I've just heard Mummy mention the dreaded word - shower- but it's not me this time - yay!! Paddy is smelly and will be dirty as well when he comes back from duck shooting, so it's his turn - ha ha ha....

Silly Mummy!

Mummy has just informed me that she has deleted my photos off the computer so I'm afraid you will have to wait for them! She has to scan them or something...
I had an exciting time last week - I caught a rat and killed it! Mummy didn't seem to like it but she said good boy anyway so that was good.

Back from Hols!

Well, I'm back from another holiday. I had a great time going to the beach, walking and making new friends.
I did disgrace myself at first with the dog who lives next door - Katie- I took a dislike to her and growled terribly and showed her my lovely white teeth. Mummy shouted at me and Katie growled back and I had to go in my bed for awhile. Then, Mummy took me very gently to Katie and said everything was alright and that Katie just wanted to be friendly. I sniffed a bit and so did she and then we were running around the garden and having great fun together. I made a friend!
I have loads of photos to show you and some videos of me actually swimming!!! Mummy is getting them for me this week - so lots to look forward to.

P.S.

Paddy is going to see the vet tomorrow - about all the howling and running after bitches etc etc...
I hope it won't involve the vet getting too interested in poking and prodding, and I'm glad it's not me this time. Don't tell Paddy I told you, but he actually cocked his leg in the house last week!!! This is the worst thing you can do in a human house, and though Mummy and Daddy shouted a bit, he wasn't punished. Something about old and senile - whatever that means!!

I was out in the truck with Daddy a few days ago and met many humans. You know of course, that I am often admired for my beautiful eyes, soft coat and lovely temperament, but this day was different. I have never been so insulted in my short life! A human, who shall remain nameless, said that I was a lovely girl!!! A girl!! Can he not see that I am a male, and a handsome one?? I really felt like biting him but I know this isn't allowed.
Yes, I am in touch with my feminine side, but this makes me all the more adorable and in no way diminishes my dogginess. I will never understand humans.

Still here...

I haven't written much lately, I know, but things are going well for me. My fur IS starting to grow back ever so slowly. The same can't be said for Paddy who is acting strange in his old age. He's 12, which is 84 in human years, so a little strangeness is to be expected, I guess. He's stopped eating regularly and howls a lot, though he doesn't seem to be in pain. He can't hear a thing and Mummy has to shout really loud to him which scares me as I am a sensitive soul and am easily disturbed.
I'm ashamed to say that this morning Paddy and I had a bit of a set to and were very angry with each other. By the time Mummy came to see what was happening we had forgot all about it - but were still separated! This is to be expected of humans, they don't understand the doggy mind. We instantly forgive and forget and never hold a grudge. Still it's nice to lie in my soft bed and dream the morning away......

Holiday

Have been to another hotel with Mum and Dad. This one was in Wales and very nice too. I was allowed to be in the room! Later on we had a walk to a cottage and,surprise, my little humans were there!!! The next day we all set off to climb a mountain, it was my first and the little humans first as well. We all did very well though it was a bit muddy and difficult near the river.
Back at the hotel I had to have a bath with Mummy!!! I thought she was trying to drown me!!! When we were all clean again we went back to the cottage to have pizza - at least the humans did- I stayed in the car for a rest. My little legs had never walked so much.

I had a lovely time with Rafferty on Sunday running around the orchard and playing and fighting. But now I have to suffer for it - strange new grass has brought out my allergy and I'm running around scraping my tummy on the carpet to get some relief from the itch!!
Mummy has got some new stuff to put in my food which might help, though I am a bit suspicious of it and keep spitting it out. She says it will be very good for me..hmmm, I don't know...

Birthday!

Yesterday was my birthday! mummy says I am 3 years old which sounds a lot to me and in human years it is 21!! So, a very big birthday - I am an adult now.
My little humans came today, they are staying overnight which is great.

Television

Here's a photo of me enjoying my favourite show - Eastenders. I particularly like the music at the end. Other favourites are Send in the Dogs, the Dog Whisperer and Animals do the funniest things

P.S.

I forgot to mention that two lovely bitches arrived at our house yesterday, they were lost and Daddy had to tie them up until someone came to get them. One was a lovely springer spaniel called Mia and the other was a sort of cross-breed called Ebony. Mia was lovely and liked me very much. Then a man in a truck came and they went bounding off without even saying goodbye - they had no manners!!!

Strange things are happening!! My humans are not going out and seem to be happy to laze in bed all day and night! My routine is all over the place and you know how I like my routine...Anyway it's nice to be able to lie on the bed with Mummy and Daddy who seem to be taking more tablets than me...what is going on? When will I get my routine back??

Walkies!!

At the weekend Mummy and Daddy took me to the forest for walkies. I had a great time though I wasn't allowed off the lead because of my enthusiasm for rabbits. I should be able to run free soon as Mummy has got me an identity disc for my collar. As if I would get lost!! I know what I'm doing at all times, they just have no faith in me.
Back to the forest. It is my favourite place with lots of good smells and places to explore. I met two labradors who were very interested in me but their human wouldn't let them play with me. They had to sit and stay while the humans talked a load of nonsense about the forest. Of course I behaved impeccably and stayed by Mummy's side.

Little humans!

My little humans came to play and they stayed all night! I had a lovely time snuggling with them and sharing treats.

I'm better!

I feel so much better today, no itching and scabs all going. Felt so well that I've been playing football and dragging my blanky all over the lawn. I also found a dentastick in my bed that I'd saved for a rainy day - it was delicious!
Back to football. I really love it and want to bite the ball, but it's too big. Still, I have fun pushing it all around the garden with my nose and trying to stand on it like a circus dog!!

Spots update

P.S. my spots are getting better
