Narrowboat

I'm off with mummy and daddy on a narrowboat tomorrow. There was a job vacancy for a large brown appealing looking dog who was good at swimming and playing with sticks and I fitted the bill. A great opportunity to get stinky!

Holidaze

Mummy and Daddy went to Turkey for a week and I went to stay with Annie and Campbell. It was fun to play in Cotgrave woods where there are lots of big sticks. I then had to pack my holiday bag again to go with Mummy and Daddy to the seaside in Wales. It was a long way in the car where I have my own bed in the back. I have also got a clever water bowl that doesn't spill as we go along. We stopped a few times for some interesting sniffing. It rained all day and we finally got to a nice place called Cwmwennol in Saundersfoot where lots of other dogs were staying. I sat with Mummy and Daddy in the bar and people gave me treats to eat while they had their dinner. The best bit was going down through the woods to the beach at the back of the hotel. I got a big stick and Daddy threw it out into the sea for me to fetch. I did lots of swimming and Daddy had to dry me with my towel before we went back to our room. On Sunday we had lunch with Bad Granpa who is Mummy's Daddy and I sat in the beer garden of The George in Backwell. I like Bad Granpa's house as there are bits of food on the floor in the kitchen. I was pleased to get back home on Sunday evening to catch up with sniffing and weeing around my own patch.

Pee-mail, the noble art of urination

Mummy and daddy are no good at doing pee-mails. It all comes out in one go and they just end up leaving a big puddle which doesn't smell of much. They should learn that little and often, in strategic places, is the best policy.

Sex versus chasing sticks

I was spayed when I was very young so I have never had the sex that stick throwers (humans) talk about and seem to enjoy. It would have to go some to be as much fun as finding a big long crunchy stick and dancing around in circles with it. I also like chasing balls and rolling in fox poo after a long day guarding the house. Mummy and daddy say I am not a very good guard dog as I just roll over and invite intruders to tickle my tummy, but I think that it best to be friendly and avoid confrontation. And beside they may have some treats for me to eat.

Seaside scavenging

It's been a long time since I last blogged and I am now 8 and a half which is about 60 in human years. I have been on a lovely holiday with mummy and daddy in Watchet, Somerset which is near a place called Minehead. The pebbly beach was good for finding disposable bbq's to lick the congealed fat off and sometimes discarded packets of half-eaten fish and chips. We did some lovely walks but it was quite boring when mummy and daddy were watching the Royal Wedding.
