An answer to a question and other news!

Hi everyone,

Do you remember last November I posed the question 'Whats an Engaged' well I think I may have discovered, I will explain but I need to fill in some recent history first and say thank you to some new friends.

You remember my friend Millie the little chocolate Labrador, who's chicken I tried to eat a couple of weeks ago, well her Mummy and Daddy have gone away on holiday and she has come to stay with me for a couple of weeks. I think she is still a little bit upset about the chicken because she was a real misog at first, but she is much better now. Anyway, last weekend my Mummy and Daddy and lots of other people, including Natalie, Greg, Caroline, Anthony, Nanny and Grandad sand, Nanny and Barrie pebbles and Sharon and Gary (Boris's Mummy and Daddy) went away on Saturday night to a Ladies Night. I'm not sure what a Ladies night is because it must have involved men anyway that's another question, life is full of them isn't it.

While they were away, Millie and I needed new housekeeper's to look after us and Sophie and Dec came to stay, whaoo! how good was this. they are really nice, they fed us and played with us in the garden then we had lots of cuddles and tummy rubs and everything. We liked them coming to look after us, we had treat biscuits for breakfast, although I think that was a mistake, and we had Pizza for tea. Thank you both for looking after us you can come and visit anytime you want we had a lovely time.

Right on with the answer to the question, whats an Engaged? remember Mummy and Daddy got one last November and they were really happy for ages, actually they still are! well Greg and Natalie got one last Saturday and this time I got pictures from Daddy's camera. It seems that the man, in this case Greg, suffers some sort of fall, collapsing onto one knee, see what I mean in the first photograph he is falling, then in the next one there he is down on one knee! which certainly captured Natalie's attention and her nanny pebbles attention to, that's her on the right having a sly peek as well!

After Greg has Natalie's full and undivided attention he asks her a question 'Will you Marry me' and she said YES, at this point he slipped a bright sparkly ring on her finger and she is so happy she tries to wrestle his head off of his shoulders, see!

Having failed to get his head off Natalie burst into tears, fortunately grandad sand was their armed with a hankie.

Never mind, as I understand it, they have got the rest of their lives together so she can try again I'm sure given practise she can get his head right off. So that how you get an engaged, seems to make them happy, but it all seems a bit odd to me, wouldn't they be happier with a nice bone or something!

Anyway that's all my non building news for the moment, apart from the fact the Millie's Mummy and Daddy are stuck on holiday because they can't get a flight home, something to do with dust in the air, they should be in my house, there is lots of dust in the air here so she is staying for a bit longer. it just gets better and better!

Write again soon, I'll let you know if Natalie gets his head off.

Love Becka.

Its an Upstairs !!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,



Its been a while, sorry about that, but I've finally worked it out. Mummy and Daddy are having an upstairs built, remember we had a stairway to nowhere, well now we have a stairway to upstairs, the problem I have is I'm not allowed upstairs, so I'm not sure what is up there. We had an upstairs in the first house I lived in and I know I went up there once, but I was very young and I was taken straight back down to the bottom of the stairs and told that upstairs was out of bounds and I was not allowed up there.



It seems that Mummy's and Daddy's must have their secrets because we never had an upstairs in this house before, so they had to have one built and I'm still not allowed to see whats so special about 'upstairs' I wonder why its different up their, its all very confusing. As I understand it when a house doesn't have upstairs its a Bungalow so if ours was a bungalow and we will have an upstairs is it a house or is it a bungalow? answers on a postcard or an email please.







Anyway if you look from the outside, you remember that we had walls and a floor, but nothing else, well Danny and his builders made this sort of a wooden cage on top of the walls. Then the cage thing got filled in and they put a hat on it to keep the rain out, apparently that was only partly successful because Mummy and Daddy were running around with buckets catching drips. Danny though thought this was okay because the hat was not finished so the water drips were 'no stress'.







From the outside the upstairs looks a bit like a face, with that big red nose and the square eyes. Have a look at the next picture and see what you think.



















I pleaded with Daddy and he agreed to take the camera to upstairs and take some pictures of what is at the top of the wooden hill, this being the wooden hill, which leads to upstairs.


















Mummy and Daddy were really pleased with whatever they found up there, it must be one of the secrets, because I can't see anything in these pictures to get excited about, no toys, no soft fuzzy stuff to lie down on, there is not even anything blocking up all the holes, have a look and see if you can see anything that I've missed. The first two are apparently the master bedroom, but I don't think so because Mummy and Daddy have got bedrooms down stairs and they all have beds in them, see no bed.


















Now if you think that that is funny, a bedroom with no bed! this last photograph is supposed to be the ensuite, which is a sort of a bathroom, see if you can spot the obvious mistake, shouldn't this room have a bath or a toilet or something? Mummy and Daddy must think I was born yesterday I don't know exactly what they are doing, but I'm watching them. Bedroom and Bathroom indeed!














I'll let you know what happens next, lots of love. Becka.
