Better watch out.


Well hello there,

It's good to be back in the saddle, so to speak. As you know, I've been on my holidays and it was definitely a holiday of two halves I can tell you. I whizzed off with my brother Bertie to stay with him and his girlfriend Holly, my tail up, happy as Larry, didn't give mummy a backward glance and there I spent eleven glorious days.

Bertie was mostly working from home so we had a real boy's time together, lots of long walks and swift halves in country pubs during the day, followed by lots of cuddles when Holly came home from work.






As you can imagine, I loved every minute of it, especially when a workman came round and left his shoes by the door (I've got a bit of a shoe/slipper obsession so everyone tends to hide them) I snuck off with one of the shoes and hid in a bush in the garden with it, I wasn't going to chew it....honest.

Nice as it was, when Bertie started to pack my things into his van, I thought, I'm going home and I can't wait to see mummy and daddy.



 Boy was I in for a surprise. I couldn't believe it when we arrived at auntie Shirley's the dog minder. I went from being all chilled to shaking like a leaf, which is unusual for me because I'm not an anxious boy at all "Danger? Hah! I walk on the wild side. I laugh in the face of danger. Ha ha ha ha!" But auntie Shirley's, phew, that's a bit scary, in fact, it's a bit like boot camp. I did try to escape, after a couple of days I dragged my basket to the front door, I thought Shirley might have taken the hint and got Bertie to come back for me, instead of which her two Pomeranian's cocked their legs and marked my lovely basket. I was so relieved when mummy and daddy came to collect me, mummy said I shan't be going to Shirley's again because it's just too hectic for me, after all, I do need me time.


One of the best things about October is that us doggies are allowed back on the beach. I couldn't wait to get down there and go to The Shack, I was so excited I ran on ahead of mummy and daddy, but can you believe it, it was shut!


I wasn't budging, I knew if I waited long enough someone would turn up. As luck would have it, my friend Baxter and his mummy did. Baxter's mummy always gives me some of her sausage when we meet at The Shack and she's always got a big bag of treats with her. Mummy doesn't like me having treats but luckily Betty just ignores her and ladles them out.


Anyway, it's lovely being back home and doing all my favourite things and seeing all my friends, look forward to writing again next week......

Hi everyone, Well, what an exciting week I've had. A doggy food manufacturer got in touch with me and asked if I would like to be part of their advertising campaign.Trouble is, I don't eat processed dog food because it's often full of nasty things like condemned beef, rancid fat and stuff surplus to human consumption like hooves, tails, testicles and ears and general sweepings from the factory floor. Like humans, what we doggies eat affects our health (and our breath and I for one don't want dog breath.) We doggies have the same digestive system as a grey wolf and grey wolves don't go to the supermarket to buy junk food, they live on prey, fruit and vegetables. I eat a raw diet just like the grey wolf, fortunately I don't have to hunt for it because mummy puts it in my bowl. I am allowed certain treats like my carrot and apple biscuits and last weekend when we went out for lunch, daddy bought me a doggy ice cream which is made from natural ingredients, ...

Hey there, Well it's a quick hello & goodbye this week as I'm very busy getting ready for my holidays. Mummy and daddy are off to Spain, so I'm going to stay with my auntie Jeanie and uncle Keith. I've been to the groomers and had myself spruced up, fortunately this time I didn't have a J Lo cut which makes my bum look big, but my hair is very short, sometimes, I wonder if mummy does it deliberately because she tells daddy that we have to have the heating on full time in case I get cold. Last Saturday, just when we thought spring had arrived, it snowed again! We were at the beach and had to take cover in a lovely café where I made friends with another Shih tzu. He was a bit aloof so I tried to act all grown up when his mummy got out the treats, but you know me, I get all excited and go a bit giddy with it. On Sunday our garden was covered in snow, I was delirious with excitement. Mummy and I played snowballs, I didn't manage to catch any becaus...

Sorry not sorry.

Hi everyone Do you like the photo of me hiding under the decking? That was taken when I was a baby and mummy says that was a sure sign of things to come. I've always been a mischievous little dog, did I tell you about the time I stuck my head through a barbed wire fence to say hello to some goats? Well, unfortunately I scratched myself on the barbed wire but I didn't cry, even though I bled a little bit. Mummy was none the wiser, but a couple of days later when she was brushing me, she became hysterical and rushed me to the vets. Apparently she thought I had a terrible growth, but the vet just laughed and told mummy "it's only a scab" which she then flicked off with her finger. Daddy wasn't quite so amused as that scab cost him sixty pounds. This week I've had a couple of accidents, the first was when I was helping daddy in the garden, we were treating the fence and I thought I'd get my face right in amongst it, I was luminous green, that to...
