Extra time

So I'm off on my "jollies" again to my homeland but this time due to the Minoan bathtub being cancelled we had to spend an extra day in Italy.  Not that I minded as I got extra time and run-a-bouts on the beach, but it was a bit windy!

It's coming home

Well at last the "Duchess" is coming home after being away for over a year. The Guv say she has a whole new engine inside of her. I'll just check he has tied her on this trailer safely!

Woodlands..........

A stop in the woodland on the way to the shops this morning made a change from the usual lane & field walks near my pad. Lots of good places to have a sniff around the old oak trees and piles of fallen leaves on the ground.

I sniffed and looked in all the leaves and had a ruffle around,

But search as I did for quite a long time

No truffles could be found !

It's taken over !

Chest puffed out and muscles flexed,

With wild eyes it jabs and pecks.

To teach this ruffian some respect

So on his actions he might reflect
I'll chase and loudly bark and growl

Until I see the end of this fowl!

There's got to be a limit!  When the Guv is working in the poppymobile kennel it's my job to help him. 

Now the flighty bird is interfering.

Look he's coming in as well !!!!!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas
to all my canine & humans friends around the world

I did not wish for any personal doggy Christmas presents this year, my wish was that ALL homeless and unloved canines find a good loving home in 2019

Flighty bird!

Not much going on recently at my pad to tell you about, well that is apart from the new friend.  No matter how much I bark it stays around.  In fact it now gets fed each day by the Guv or the Missus!  Its even taken to following the Guv around the garden and sometimes even when he walks up the road !

Christmas is coming.....

The Missus has been very busy this last couple of days getting my pad ready for Christmas. One tree in the family room, one in the lounge and even a small one in the reception room. The Guv tends to keep well out of the way when this is going on, as do I. Now I must keep a look out for the mistletoe to avoid all this kiss, kiss stuff......

Yes, yes it's mine...

On 6th December we celebrate Saint Nicolas and I told the Guv I'm only 10 years old so he must have Saint Nicholas bring me presents on 6th!  Well I think the reindeer must have been held up by the "Gilets Jaunes" as all this came for me with the postlady!

Tripe sticks and jerky, mmmmmmm  smells good !

and by golly it tastes good as well

Its got colder.....

Well this mornings walk was just a bit chilly and a light frost over all the fields. Now the Missus feels the cold far more than I do so the Guv lit the first fire of the winter in the wood burner, I might just take advantage though and enjoy the warmth.

It's all mine....

One good thing about this time of year is that the human tourists tend to stay away and even the local humans become sparse around the river walks & play areas.  That leaves it free for ME!   Oh yes and as you can see I have my eyes shut, that means I can't see that sign in the background...
