We must be getting stronger.


When we lived near the sea-side, we had a lot of problems with our legs. Sometimes it was really painful and we had to go to the vets for tablets. Mum said it was because we pulled too hard on our leads when we were out and this caused strain on our ligaments. Ok Mum, whatever!


Since we moved here, both me & our Brandy have been a lot better. If we go on really long walks, like at the weekend when we went all the way to the ruin on the hill, we find our legs get a bit stiff once we've slept for a while, and believe me, we slept for a long while on Sunday, we were shattered!


When I asked Mum why our legs don't hurt like they did before she said it's because we are outside, playing all the time, running up and down the hills and that we are getting a lot stronger then we were but also, we don't need our leads on here, so we aren't pulling, so we don't strain our ligaments..........


OK, so Mum's right again. Mum's ALWAYS right!

Oh, the Shame!

Yesterday, some of Mum & Dad's friends came for dinner and they are really nice. They have dogs of their own so they are dog people and they know how to talk to us and make us feel important. While they were having dinner, me and our Brandy were chilling out on the settee and after they had finished Sandra, Mum's friend, went over to stroke our Brandy. He was so chilled he rolled onto his back so she could tickle his tummy...........

....and then it happened..............

.............oh, the shame...............

No, he didn't pee on her, don't be daft!

She saw something move!

He'd only gone and got himself some fleas for company, hadn't he?

Well, that was it. We were turned upside down, more flea spot on us necks, even though it's not that long since we were done, we had all our bits powdered with this awful smelling powder and then.....

......when Jim and Sandra had gone, Mum really got to work ....

..... with that really fine, sharp, scratchy comb thing.

Everywhere!

And, to add insult to injury......

............she's only gone and done us again today!

The shame of it - I bet you any money, we get done again tomorrow, again!

Brandy - how could you!

Who says we're spoilt!

Every now and again Mum & Dad get us a little treat. We love the biscuits from Mercadona which we usually have but it's nice to have something different.


We always have a big bag of (doggy) chocolate buttons in the fridge and now, we have white buttons as well as brown ones - the white ones are yummy!

Well, this week Mum & Dad have found something we really, really, REALLY like!




SAUSAGES!



They come in a little tin specially for little dogs like us. They're super-scrummy.


We just haven't worked out what we have to do to get one.

If we come in when we are called, we get a cuddle.

If we are being left at home for a while we get a treat.

If we go to bed when we should we get a biscuit.
If we come in for our breakfast we get bacon bits.

But we can't work out what we have to do for a sausage. We know they are in the fridge so I have tried sitting down next to the fridge - but that didn't work.

I've tried coming in before I'm called - but that didn't work.

I've tried fetching a toy - but that didn't work.

Just don't know what I have to do to get a saus......

Gotta go, don't know why - BUT THE SAUSAGES ARE OUT OF THE FRIDGE!!!!!!!




I'm on my way Mum!!
