Meet my new friend Amber.

Hi Everyone, when mum and dad invited their friends round to our house for dinner, they brought their new dog Amber with them. She came from a dog's home just like me and she really appreciates her new home and family just like I do. She also likes tennis balls, running, chasing sticks and balls and popping and chewing footballs - we have so much in common!

Once we had run around together in the fields and woods and I had stopped grumping at her for trying to steal my sticks, I really started to notice what a nice dog Amber is. I hope we can be friends for many years to come.

I will never forget Zakky-Boy, but it is nice to have a new friend to share sniffs and run round with. And in the evening, when the family are all sat around the table eating and chatting and no snacks are coming our way, at least we wont get bored playing together.

Sunshine and a stinky ball.... perfect!

Hi everyone, I hope you had the chance to enjoy a little bit of sunshine on Tuesday afternoon like me.
After walking in the woods, I brought back a fabulously slimy and stinky tennis ball and lay out in the garden for a chew.
It was jolly cold really, but I managed a good 20 minutes before coming in for a warm by the kitchen radiator.
Is spring around the corner? Let's hope so.

Why are we (well, me) waiting!

Hello, hello! This was me on Sunday being a little bit impatient. If you look closely you can almost see me drumming my toes with slight irritation.

Why does it seem to take so long some days to pack up the computer and head out for a walk!!!

The mystery of the pink ball..

What a surprise yesterday lunch time. I ran down the garden to check on my football, the squirrels and my other usual daily tasks when I stopped and stared!

A pink ball had appeared in the garden! I couldn't remember finding it in the woods and bringing it back and I don't think mum or dad had bought it for me, as they seemed surprised too!

Could Mr Fox have left it for me as an apology for all the other toys he has 'borrowed' over the years? Or could it be a present from our kind neighbours?

Whoever left it for me - thank you very much.

I'm not leaving it out though, just in case it mysteriously disappears again!

End of the snow?

Hello everyone! At last the snow is thawing and my toes are less chilly!

I don't know why Mr Snowman is looking so sad? He does seem to be shrinking a bit and reluctant to chat about it.

I told him I am very happy because the thaw has revealed several tennis balls and a football I had forgotten about, great fun!

Crumbs!... Mr Snowman has grown!!

Hi Everyone,

We keep getting more snow and I keep meeting strange new snow-creatures whilst out on my walk. Some with hats and big noses. Some with big toothless smiles and staring eyes.

I pretend to be unfazed by it all, (I even have a little tinkle up some of them; hee, hee!).

But at night they seem to take on a more sinister air.

Dad reckons this one is simply directing traffic (I presume he means squirrels and birds, as it is in our garden), but I think he is up to no good.

I'm keeping my eye on him!

I haven't got around to tinkling on him yet, but I will. When he's not looking!!

Snowy days

Me and Mr Snowman do enjoy a little chat in the afternoon. We have made friends again now that my little misdemeanor (ahem) has been covered up - oops!

I really am a lucky dog. I live in the city, yet outside my back gate is a winter wonderland of snowy woods.
