What a scorcher!

We have just come back from a lovely weekend down in Dorset with our friends. It was a bit too hot really for black dogs like me, but a lovely change from rain!! As long as I could dunk myself in the sea every few minutes I could happily keep my cool. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to do the same in the fish pond - and it looked so inviting too!!

My mate Zak

My best friend Zak is coming to stay next month and I am really looking forward to seeing the old fellow. He is getting on a bit these days. He won't tell me how old he is, but I reckon at least 15 human years - which in the dog world is over a 100!
Don't feel too sorry for him - old as he is, he can still chase me round the garden and nick the best spot to sunbathe in. He even tries to eat his dinner fast enough to step over and finish mine too!
I hope I can do as well at his age!

Seaside Profile

Just so you are not too jealous of my trip to the coast I'll let you into a little secret.....it wasn't just running in the sea that made my coat wet. It hardly ever stopped raining the whole time we were there! It's a good job I am waterproof!!

Oh the sea air is good!

Hi readers. I'm just back from a weekend by the sea. I do enjoy feeling the sand between my toes and smelling the salty seaweed as I gaze out over the horizon. (I'm quite a handsome chap don't you think?).

Shhhhhhhh!

Can you see me? Don't tell anyone I am here! This is my cunning disguise to get closer to those pesky squirrels. With my carefully placed camouflage hiding all but my whiskers, I reckon I will be able to gently stroll down the garden without anyone seeing me and catch them all!

What do you mean my bum is sticking out?

I see all.

Happy Friday everyone! My owners seem to really look forward to their weekends. I think it is because they enjoy spending more time with me. Here I sit on the top stair waiting for them to come home. From here I can see everything: any movement in and out of the kitchen, what is happening in the study or the bedrooms and most important of all - anyone approaching the front door!!

Quality find....

Currently I have no less than three footballs, all acquired on my woodland walks. People are so careless leaving them behind. I think I am doing everyone a favour by clearing them out of the park and bringing them home. I am particularly pleased with this one!
