laundry day

sometimes i help with the laundry.

just chillin'

not much to report really, helped her water her friend's plants, well to be more accurate i helped with her friends recycling. actually it was really funny right, cause when we were leaving she dropped my lead and ran off down the stairs thinking i'd run after her like the sap i am, but i fooled her and went back up the stairs and hid round the corner. it was seriously funny and then when she came back up all the stairs to find me i jumped out and ran around like a loon and we both had a right laugh.

had a flirt with some rather attractive young ladies yesterday and a bit of off the lead time with the skinny one but because my leg is still a little sore i've been mostly just chillin' out.

day trip

had a great day yesterday. usually when it's just her and me, she spends the day doing things like laundry and cleaning or knitting (i like that cause then i get to curl up on the couch with her). but yesterday she harnessed me up and we went off in the campervan. i love the campervan cause i don't get tied up and instead i've got the whole of the back area to stretch out in. we arrived at a place with loads of other campervans and some nice people who made a fuss of me. we left the van with the nice people who are going to be 'welding' it apparently. we then had a nice walk through some grass and I swear i could smell the sea.

this is me in the van last year on the way back from holiday

then the second best bit, we got on a train! i love trains, not as much as horses of course, but still a fair amount. it was super cool because there were simply hundreds of school children who of course made a huge fuss of me and who were all wearing shoes with laces which are the best for nibbling.

we got off at brighton where i could definately smell the sea. i was again made a huge fuss of by the very clever train station workers of brighton who obviously know a good thing when they see it. then we got on another train! and then we got on a third train.

i must admit that it was all a bit tiring in the end and i tried to have a nice lie down in the park on the walk back from the train station to home but she wasn't having any of it. sometimes i think she's really a bit too bossy. i've got some pics of me sleeping on the train but the skinny one took the phone with him before i could download them.

doga

i have been practising the ancient art of doga of which i am a master. it should help me get back to my normal super canine level of fitness. i had a great freak out run on the grass yesterday but i may have overdone it and as a result my leg is sore today. i think it's only a muscle thing though.



on another note, they still wont let me up on my bed at night. i'm considering a) whining, b) eating something like one of her shoes or her knitting, c) sulking loudly and stomping around or d) all of the above. as a result i have not been sleeping at all well.

finally i'm getting decent walks again. not as good as before but she tells me that i will get a bit more each day and soon we'll be back to normal. i hadn't realised how bored i'd been! now if only i could get them to stop this new bathing regime, i mean who need two baths a year let alone a week!!!

i have been a busy boy in the last week. first it was a visit to the vet's cause my feet were sore and so of course i gave them a good licking and then she was all like, don't lick your feet cause you're licking them raw, and i was all, but it feels good. she made me wear a sock for days so i couldn't type. so anyway now i'm on those stupid big pills for ages until the infection clears up.

then yesterday i went in the car to visit my special friends at the special vets. it's out where the horses live but although i could smell horses i didn't see any. i always seem to get super tired and have a sleep when i'm there and then when i wake up bits of my fur have gone. wierd! the little french guy told her that i'm good to go on walks again so that's great news.

but now it's raining and i hate the rain so if after all this time she decides to try to take me out in the rain, which i hate, then she's super got another thing coming.

i've gotten the skinny one trained at last. he's a bit slow but he's showing reeal progress. now if i sit he gives me a sausage.

one of my favourite things to do is to wait till she is in the shower and then to sneak into the bathroom and steal the towels. sometimes i get bored and just leave them on the bathroom floor but sometimes i like to drag them out into the hall. it's also really funny to wait till she's wet and then go get one of the skinny ones brand new shoes and make sure she can see that I'm about to destroy it with my mightiness. it's funny to make her get out of the shower while she's all covered in soap. heh heh, i'm a right commidichien!

they have made my bed too high for me to get on. not only that but they've started sleeping in it. i had to sleep on the couch, can you believe it. i even had a good whine at them but to no avail. i tell you i don't know what the world is coming to, after all i let her share my pillow and didn't get all upset about her stinky breath on my face in the morning. and the skinny one was allowed the edge of the bed, it's not like i made him sleep on the couch. i am at a loss for words.
