Hello my lovely friends,

I've had a rather traumatic week I'm sorry to say.
Everything was going great....... I had a smashing weekend, mummy and daddy took me for a long walk through the countryside and we visited a pub, which is believed to be the oldest in Hampshire, for our lunch.




We visited an old church and I frolicked amongst the snowdrops, I do love a good old frolic.



And the next day I had fun on the beach, especially when I found some sandcastles that needed investigating.



I even saw my best friend, George, for the first time in ages, I was so pleased, I just rolled over and let him dominate me. Unfortunately, Duchess muscled in and George got cross, he's a bit possessive like that and doesn't like it when other dogs interfere with our bromance.



On top of all that, the postman delivered a parcel for me and it was a new fluffy basket with my name on it! I went through the usual 'new things' ritual, I flicked it and shook it, then I chewed it and sucked it to make sure it smelt of my own doggie breath, then I settled down and had a snooze in it.




Then it all went horribly wrong. Mummy took me to the vet, which I was quite excited about because last time I was there I got a delicious biscuit, I trotted in, tail wagging, greeting all and sundry, then suddenly, mummy was gone and I was in a cage feeling very woozy. When mummy and daddy came to pick me up that night I was totally discombobulated, I couldn't even stand up. Apparently I was under anesthetic for quite a while having my X rays and my teeth cleaned. Anyway, I cried because I was so pleased to see mummy and I just wanted to go home, but mummy had to look at my X rays and next thing, she was crying. The vet told mummy that my disabled leg is quite deformed and probably beyond repair, I was born with a deformity, as some humans are, and there are ways of coping with it. But my 'good' leg isn't so good as it turns out. The vet saw something on the X ray that looks rather sinister and it needs to be looked at by a specialist.

Mummy's said I'm not to worry and has been doing lots of fun things with me to take my mind off the whole horrible experience, but I've caught her crying a couple of times, so we're all a bit off kilter at the moment. Hopefully next week it'll be good news and we can all get back to normal.


Well, until then, say a little prayer for me.
Love and woofs,

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...
