Crikey!

It’s over 6 weeks ago I last blogged!  Hope you have all been alright! Nelly and I haven’t had much time to check out very many blogs these last few weeks. We’ve been building a patio  … with Martin’s help!

Of course Nelly and I were the first to try it out!

On this picture you can just see the railings between the pillars. Nelly jumped over the wall the day before they were fitted and Mum had to barricade us in until the next day!

But we’re all safe and dog proof now! It’s great!

I have also got a new front gate to guard! It’s much bigger than the old one!

and I can see much more of what’s going on in the road.

Nelly has been extremely busy taking care of builder’s bags! with the help of her favourite toy ‘Ratty’

who looks just like the real thing … we know because Nelly caught one … and played with it just like she plays with Ratty … throwing it in the air and stuff. She says real ones are better – they squeak!

My sister is a little hunter. She doesn’t really like it when Mum makes her sit with flowers …

It is raining cats and dogs today and we were entertaining ourselves indoors. Nelly found a piece of carrot in the fridge and Mum gave me one as well.

Well … you probably know what my little sister was like when she was a tiny pup … She still plays the ‘I want your chewie/ toy/ carrot‘ game. Trouble is, I just can’t resist her. I tried growling … she is just too cute … you better see for yourself

Yes, she got it and ran off with it and munched it! And now we’re waiting for the rain to stop so we can go for a walk.

Pssst … Come with us

comewithus1

Hi Everybody,

Summer really is here with us!

So … we’ve decided to take you all a special walk with us. It’s not very far from where we live – only about 6 miles – and we go there pretty much every day … sometimes twice … because Mum and Dad love it so. Because at the moment it looks like this ….

and Mum keeps making us sit in the Daisies, hehe … it’s ok, there’s a lot of Fishy Crunchies in it for us 😉

So there is one of Nelly in the daisies …

Cute, hey? For a change she is not carrying her lucky duck leg with her … She insists on finding it every time we come here and whittle another bit off it …

and several of me – Mum says I pose well …

But enough of this posing! COME ON … LETS GO!

Lasagne Appreciation

Today I gave Nelly a short lesson in Lasagne apppreciation. As soon as the dish hit the floor both our heads were in it. [BTW Nelly can sit for 5 whole seconds now before she dives into her food bowl. She’s doing very well!]

I showed her how best to get the last bits of that lovely meaty goodness out of the dish.
