first day

hello

we went to springside for another beautiful weekend in the country. Midge had a sore shoulder and I am a bit fally-overy at high speeds so we just cruised around the house, with little outings looking for rabbits. but we didn't find any.
I got to sleep lots all the way there and all the way back which was very cosy.

sounds like we are going to adopt little maggie, so long as I like her. I might not be forking out the cash, but clearly I am still boss of the house and what I want is what we get. she does look very good and they say she has good breeding (She is of
Clan Abby and Maghera descent.) I am not entirely sure what that means, but it sounds rather scottish, which is always good because we can imitate her accent.

in this picture she is second from the bottom, and apparently new pictures taken at the weekend are on their way.




and this is her grandpa banjo











and her dad Brucie









so now we are thinking fencing and whatnot.. she might come on May 22.

I think it is time my family started thinking about something else......

the first day of the rest of my life

I don't know whether to be sad or excited... yesterday was a big day full of goods and bads.

First thing and worst thing was going to the vet. I don't know why we have to keep on going there... it terrifies me. I spent a good 30 minutes in full shiver mode... and they didn't even do anything except feel my lumps, listen to my heart and talk lots. I just don't trust those vets. and I don't trust my mum when she's with them.
Turns out I'm as good as any 16-or-so year old dog could be and the medications I am on are right and the amount of walking etc is right, so we are all good.

and we got to go for a delightful walk down merricks beach as an after-treat.

There's this other thing that's been playing on my mind. Mum's friend is super excited to be getting a new puppy soon... hers is Bindi, and she showed mum lots of pictres of the day Bindi and her sisters were born and now I think my mum might be getting one. She tells me that she is getting ME a puppy, but I am not so sure... old age check ups at the vet for me and suddenly she's all clucky for a new improved model (more hairy, that's for sure)

The mother dog's called Ali (a little too close to my name for my liking) and her real name is Maggie. This pup we are considering is named Maggie after her mother, because she is most like her in personality... and everyone says Ali is the most sweet lovely dog (obviously goes with the name)
It all depends if someone else is going to buy little Maggie, who rumour has it is th e most sweet, gentle pup of all... or else I get a little baby of my own... shall keep you posted.

Anyhoo, we are off to the country today to see my cousins Midge and Lottie (I don't really love Lottie but Midge is awesome)... so I'll talk to you after the long weekend (lest we forget, thank you soldiers, and sorry!)

Day 1 of the rest of my life

We had a looong and interesting walk down the old shoreham beach this morning

I only met one other dog but smelt lots of great smells, lay down in the water (still a bit warm) and slept lots and lots

max the fat, friendly, inside peeing collie dog was over for a visit. His dad was putting on a new roof and we hung out together

he said we should just help ourselves to the dog food cupboard, since we could get the door open. So he ate all my spare biscuit bones. Then he chomped into the compost bucket... Spat the banana peels onto the ground. Dogs don't like banana peel

riley was home tonight. He sits and plays world of warcraft ... All elves and owls and sabre tooth tighers and flying horses. His room has the softest carpet which is lucky because when he is home I want to stay beside him. Kids are the greatest
