Oooh Sunshine!

Hello everyone,
We had a lovely lazy hour in the sunshine yesterday.
After lunch, all three of us (mum, dad and me), sat outside for a while, (between the rain showers). 
They had their cups of tea and recipe books - planning something yummy no doubt........

.....and me, I was just enjoying the warm on my back and the sniffs on the breeze.

Oh, and I was also keeping an eye out for cheeky crows and pesky squirrels!

Sunny Days

Hello, hello! Doesn't it feel lovely to have the sun on your back and feel it warming you up! It certainly puts a spring in my step and a wag in my tail.
While my 'mom and dad' pottered around the garden in the sunshine, I enjoyed sunbathing......

....and chewing selected favourite tennis balls.

I found 2 new ones this week!  Things are definitely looking up!

Just pottering around......

Hi everyone.

 I am glad to say it's finally warmed up, after skating around everywhere over the last couple of weeks.  The only downside is how muddy I seem to get (hee, hee!).

Every weekend we do an extra special walk, visiting some of my favourite haunts from over the last 8 and a bit years.  Two weekends ago we went up The Lickeys and last weekend we went to Leasows Park. Both are wonderful for woodland walks, streams, sniffs and definitely plenty of mud!

I have to be careful that I don't overdo it though, as the following Monday I am quite tired out and I have to have an easier day.

Here I am pottering around in the park out the back of our house.  Just enjoying the sniffs and taking the air!

The joys of retirement! No haste, no speed, oh! and all the lovely food you get!

 Must go - its nearly tea time! xx

It is snowing!!

Hi all, I know we've only just spoken, but I'm very excited to tell you that I have just been out for my evening walk - in the snow!
After a cold -8°C last night, it is now a balmy -1°C. Perfect temperature for the white stuff to fall.
Who knows how deep it will be by the morning!

Right then, I am off back to my radiator until tea time. Brrr!

Late Risers

Afternoon all.
I have been a bit rubbish at sleeping through the night lately.  Mum  puts it down to me getting older and having a weaker bladder!
However I slept right through last night, which meant mum and dad got a really good night sleep and a lovely lie in this Saturday morning.

As usual at the weekend nowadays, I was let out for an early morning (8am ish) garden visit, which is followed by a breakfast snacklet - as I am peckish in the morning.  Then everyone goes back to bed for an hour or so.  Here I am snuggling up to the radiator in the back bedroom whilst they snuggle in bed with their cups of tea.
Everyone's happy.

Knowle Locks

Hello everyone, I hope you are all coping with the cold and wet weather!
I have been getting out and about over the last few weekends for some extra nice walks, including a visit to my old walking places where I used to live.  The sniffs brought back very happy memories of my youth!
Today was very cold, but bright and dry, so dad got the map out and we decided to go and find Knowle Locks.

It is mighty strange how water can go up 5 steps!  Very clever.
We stood and watched a boat go through the doors and the water go down a step at a time and off they then went. Brilliant.

I also met another dog who lived in a floating boat home! He said it was great fun and had a very waggy tail.
All in all a lovely afternoon out, followed by - yes you've guessed - a lovely snooze!

Happy New Year!

Hi Readers, I do hope that you have had a lovely Christmas and New Year break.
My mum and dad looked a bit grumpy getting up in the dark this morning to go back to work! 
I must admit however that I was ready to get back to normal really.  I'm all partied out!
All the best for 2012 xx.
