Please take a moment to look at the plight of neglected animals in Palma , Mallorca.

The Palma Council is trying to close down the Centro Canino and destroy all the animals in its care.

Sign the petition to protest against this here.

Thanks!

When we got up this morning Dad’s temperature thingy said minus 7.3 degrees – That’s very cold!

The whole garden was frozen!!! However, this does not put us off our early morning walk, especially not today as it is my Birthday. Today I am two years old. So Mum put all her warm walking things on filled up the treat bag and off we went.

We were one of the first to arrive at the Carlton Forest car parking area.

Despite the frost there was lovely sunshine and under the trees nothing was frozen – clever that.

There were even a few tractors out lifting carrots in this weather. I had a little go at seeing them off but Mum said I mustn’t, they were allowed here.

Then we turned off into a field we had never been in before. Lovely smells everywhere.

Once we had crossed the field we found a little snicket.

By this time the frost had really got into my beard – and the odd sticky bob or two – and I looked pretty much like a shaggy 2-year old.

We carried on and did a full circle and came across a field full of sheep in the misty frost.

The view was breath taking.

One more turn and we’re on the home straight.

And when we got home Dad had already made sure my bone was ready for me and Mum’s cappuccino was waiting for her too. A great two hour birthday walk! I noticed there are presents too. But Mum said I have to wait until dad gets home before I can open them. I wonder if I’ll get some cake too…..

Bye for now.

I think I may have a bit of a problem. I was ‘Growfing’ at my food the other day – I could smell Spag Bol in the air but not in my dish, and I wanted some! So my mum has decided it would be a good idea to fast me – starve me more like! Had it not been for the generous handful of biscuits from Dave our postie, the sizable leftover piece of Bakewell tart from Tim and the best part of the sandwich from the workman next door, I would have shriveled away.

She’s decided I’m on a full day fast once a month now – makes my food taste better and gives my digestive system a rest – apparently! … I suppose she’s the boss.

All the snowdrops opened out this afternoon and I spent a good while in the garden, chasing after tractors and stuff and barking a lot. At one point I had my chewie in my mouth and barked at the same time! I was looking over the wall at the time and do you know what my chewie flew right over out of the garden!

So I had to ask the next passer-by:

‘Scuse me! You couldn’t just hand me that chewie over there. I dropped it by accident.’

‘This one?’

‘Yep! That’s the one! Thanks!’

Phew! I thought I’d lost that one. Might just bury it for next time she decides to starve me.

Bye for now.
