(I am NOT going across that alone....)
(no daddy, no daddy, no daddy NO!)
and his dad, to get across a wobbly bridge....
You humans have no idea how fraught and emotionally draining that was! I'm exhausted.
(curiously I seem to manage the same bridge fine when it's just me and AlphaB and no dad.....)
some of our dog friends and their humans came to stay for the weekend, especially to help me celebrate my birthday.
I got, all just for myself and not to share with the other hounds, SIXTEEN pigs ears in a sack tied with a yellow ribbon, all JUST for me. One for every year. How cool is that?
Aunty Ali was just a it worried that I might not be able to manage a whole pig's ear at my age, I'd just like to set her mind at rest:
I polished off two before supper, I'd have had more but mum was being mean.
Today is MY gotcha day!!
6 WHOLE years ago today my mum and dad came and collected me from EGLR , and I was a very happy bunny (well... a happy dog anyway, the bunnies were probably not so happy).
I get two meals a day plus treats, I get cuddles and fusses and I get my choice of soft beds and sofas (with pillows and added sunny spots) to snooze on all day. What more could a girl want?
Well - maybe if I'm lucky a nice smelly leg stretch in the woods by the river.
Hello everyone, it's my birthday today and I am sixteen years old. My mum is a bit surprised about this, and slightly perplexed, I think it must be because she is so old and does not understand us youngsters.
Anyway - I started the day by wolfing (no pun intended) down breakfast (with added risotto) then scrumping for strawberries from the strawberry pot.
As a special surprise, Ernest's mum flew all the way from Seattle, just to see ME, and give me a medal she won. She gave me smooches, I love her.
Later mum took me for a walk by the river and I met a lion.
Then I got even more extra lamb in my dinner, and a birthday pork pie. It was yummy.
Apparently now I am 16 I can...
1) buy cigarettes or tobacco
2) leave school
3) choose my own doctor
4) claim social security benefit
5) work full time
6) leave home with my parents’ consent
7) get married with one parent’s consent
8) drink wine or beer with a meal in a restaurant
9) hold a licence to drive a moped
10) buy a ticket in the National Lottery
So, if I take him out to a nice restaurant and ply him with wine.... do you think Finnegan's mum will let me marry him? I'll even invest in a lottery ticket. Not sure about going to work though. Ir the moped, could be tricky.
I'll just lie here and dream of Finn for a bit.
It's a right laugh this 16th birthday thing, I think I will do it all week!
Every evening we get to go for a walk, sometimes that Meggie-moo joins us, sometimes she does not. She's been feeling a bit stiff in the hips since a long walk on saturday, but decided to join us tonight.
Only trouble with that is we then don't walk far. But that's not so bad cos AlphaB took us to a HUGE field where us younger dogs zoom around like lurchers (it's cos we are lurchers).
Meggie-moo follows AlphaB around at her own pace. Something to do with knowing which pockets the bisquits are in.
Anyway, mid walk, AlphaB decides to lie down, in the grass. Dopey moo, do you think her hips are sore too? She's 287 in dog years, positively ancient.
So she gets US to lie down with here... what's all that about?
You won't find me joining in with THAT.
This one is just for Finn.
CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaarg
(see the rabbit?)
I may not be the youngest lurcher in the pack, nor the quickest off the mark... but I get there in the end!
We interrupt this blog to ask anyone in the Southampton area to keep a lookout for Teddy

If it was one of ours I know we'd be beside ourselves.
