The woods

Today we went to walk in the woods. First we had to cross the busy road. Then we tried me on my long lead, but I kept getting tangled, so instead I got to run in the woods without my lead. It was very muddy, but it was fun!

Then this afternoon we went to the pet shop. I've been there before, but now I can walk in myself. The floor was a bit slippery, but I chose a new bed to put under the radiator. Mat and Lucy say now I have no excuse for being on the sofa - we'll see.

Not just one nurse...

... but six of them! They all came out of their offices to see me, as I was the only customer in the practice. They all fussed me and gave me biscuits. (I think Mat liked the attention too).

I've been playing on the hills

I went to play at Bramley's house today. Bramley's (and Lucy's) dad picked me up from home and took me to their house where me and Brams played in the garden.



Then we went to play up on the hills. I was allowed off my lead to play, and when I looked like I 'needed guidance', Brams brought me back.

Tomorrow I'm going to the vets again, this time to see the nurse.

Walkies - at last

I've been out on my first walk, and there are still 2 hours left on my countdown! I wore my halo (flashing LED collar) and used my new lead and we walked for nearly half an hour (with lots of sniffing stops). I'm absolutely worn out now though, so must get some sleep. Tomorrow i am going to play at Bramley's. He's going to take me out on another walk. That's after Mat takes me on my first morning walk before he goes to work. I'll try and post some photos (there was no point taking a camera tonight as it was too dark).

Remember me ?

I haven’t blogged for ages – sorry for the wait. It’s been a busy time. I’ll try and write about everything I’ve done since my last blog.

After the first lot of snow, it snowed again, but this time in the day time. I had just had my lunch so was full of energy to play in it. Here is me in the falling snow (you'll need to open the photo to see the snow falling though):



I went to the vets last week to have my second vaccinations. I was a bit more awake than the first time and was very inquisitive when on the vet’s table. I played with her computer mouse, but that didn’t impress her as it stopped working. We haven’t had a bill yet, so I guess she fixed it after we left. Anyway, my walkies counter says I have only got to wait a few more days before I can go out walking. Lucy and Mat have been taking me out at lunchtime but I’ve not been allowed on the floor. We’ve been to the postbox and to the roundabout to watch cars. I’ve also met the binman. He was nice, but his lorry was very noisy.

Bramley came over to play after I had been to the vets. Here is me with Bramley and Andre (he’s asleep).



Afterwards I was very tired, so I took myself to bed with my ‘I’m a QinetiQ Champion’ t-shirt.



Last week it was Mat’s dad’s birthday. We went to his house for a surprise dinner. He un-taught all the good behaviour Mat and Lucy had taught me. Here is me jumping up, on the sofa and biting – it was great fun. Then I stole his sock from off his foot. It was nice and cheesy.



I got possessed by aliens too.



The other night Lucy taught me to play the piano. I can make sounds come from it, but I’ve a long way to go before I’m good at it.



Yesterday I had a bath. I didn’t mind it too much but I did jump out of the bath and dripped water everywhere. Now I’m nice and clean and smell of apples.



Last night I had my first sleepover at Bramley’s house, but I didn’t sleep over all night, only until Mat and Lucy picked me up at 11.00 and took my home. This morning I was so tired, I didn’t get up until 9.00! On Thursday I am going to see the nurse at the vets. As that will be 10 days after my vaccination, I can walk into the vets without being carried. We shall still go in the car though.

Lucy is booking me in to go to puppy training classes. Hopefully, I can go to my first class next week.

Tomorrow is going to be my first whole day at home by myself. Both Mat and Lucy are going to go to work. Until now, I’ve only been alone for the mornings, but I sleep all afternoon anyway, so I probably wont even notice them not being here.

On Wednesday I’m going to Bramley’s house for the day - I'm sure there will be a photo or two to post here afterwards.

I shall be better at writing my next blog - I promise.

Counter

I was wondering how many people visit my blog. So I've written a counter to see. Its at the bottom of this blog

Am I a dalmation?

It snowed last night, and I've never played in snow before. Its quite cool! Lucy threw snow at me.

And here I am standing in the flower patch

Today was also my first day home alone, while Mat and Lucy both went to work (but Lucy went in to her meeting late, and Mat came home at lunchtime). I was very good, putting myself into my bed.
