The Sunflower

For months and months this strange plant has been growing amongst mum's flowers. It looked like a weed, but it got bigger and bigger. Last week it finally opened up into a big sunny flower. It smells nice and attracts the bees.

I like sitting by this flower and listening to the gentle humming song as the bees collect their pollen. Summer at last!

The new carpet...

After months of tedious scraping of walls and ceilings; many applications of smelly coloured stuff brushed onto walls and the constant moving in and out of furniture; all is back to normal again in our lounge.

It didn't really look any different to me - until the day they changed the carpet.

It is so much more comfy! I just LOVE to laze and loll around on it. Apparently it doesn't show the dog hairs as much?! We shall see!

"Lazing on a sunny afternoooooooooooon........

......... in the summer time."

Can you guess the song from the lyrics readers?

Phew! it sure is sunny and I have been feeling lazy. What else is a black dog with a thick healthy coat to do on such days? Zzzzzz Zzzzzzz

Bonny, bonny Scotland

Hi folks, I'm just back from a long weekend with great friends who enjoy nothing more than walking through woods and along coastlines all afternoon. They made a big fuss of me each evening (being the only dog there) and then left me to snooze by the fire after tea. It has been terrific. Highlights include stealing a large stick off a big dog and running off with it and messing around in rock pools!

Spring in Cornwall

Hello there readers! We are just back from a weekend down in Cornwall with enough time spare to wash the muddy towels and clothing; replenish the goodie bag; drop you a line and head off up to Scotland.

I have had fun running on the beach in Hale and interesting sniffs around the standing stones at Men An Tol.

Watch this space for more adventures from up north!

Happy Easter, happy spring days!

Happiness is: sitting out in the garden, listening to the birds, watching my owners pottering happily in the garden. The sun is warm on my back and the scent of flowers tickles my nose.

Yes, well spotted, I have still got my football. It has lasted rather well, though it has nearly been thrown out a number of times!!

He's the gaffer!

I am hoping to do a bit more relaxing this weekend. Last weekend my owners and our neighbours were busy clearing the pond out below the bottom of our gardens. There was a lot for me to keep my eye on. I had to make sure I knew where everyone was and what they were doing. Phew, this supervisory lark is quite tiring!!
