Mummy took me for a walk in the Great Woods. I like to play hide and seek in the woods. Well really its just hide from Mummy and that stupid camera, but she seeks me out.



I got so fed up having my photo taken I took Chiyo's advise and tried the evil eyes. That did the trick. (click on the picture to see my evil eyes)

If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.


Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.

Let others know when they've invaded your territory!

Take naps.span style="color:#cc66cc;">Stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.


Thrive on attention and let people touch you.


Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back in the grass.


On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.


No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout , run right back and make friends.




Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.


Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Here are some more photos from our day out on the boat.

I was happily playing in the park with other doggies yesterday. A rottweiler called Saffie and two staffordshire bull terrier's, Bailey and Millie. When Mummy decided to really embrass me by taking my photo.

I don't believe it, she's got the camera out.



If we all stand with you backs to her maybe she'll put the camera away. Whatever you do don't look into the flash.



That's not working. Ok we'll all move away slowly, don't make any sudden movements.



We didn't stop until we were out of shot. Then we went back to playing bitey face.

We took two human puppies on the boat this weekend. Meet Katherine and Emily, they are my Mummy's nieces.



I was minding my own business eating my chewy treat when, its coming this way.



She's near me, I'm going to keep chewing my treat and pretend its not happening.




She'd getting nearer, keep chewing the treat and she'll go away.



Then Emily took me for a walk along the river bank.




Look at me I'm a good boy for the human puppy.




Mummy said it reminded her of Bagpuss .


Even Simba himself once he was asleep was just an old, saggy cloth dog
Baggy, and a bit loose at the seams
But Emily loved him.

Excuse me!!!
