What a weekend that was!

Hiya everybody,

Remember last time I wrote I was looking forward to Boris and Cassie coming to stay, well we had a great time in the garden and in the Plantation (one of my favorite walkies spots).  As I suspected Cassie was a bit miffed at all the attention Boris was paying me, well we are old friends after all.  Anyway she started shouting at me really loudly and to be polite as she was a guest in my garden, I let her get away with it for a while, but eventually I had to put my paw down and I had to introduce her to a new game I invented on the spot.  I've since called it 'my snarly teeth are bigger and more frightening than yours', for a new game I found my self being quite good at it Cassie was very impressed, even Boris was a bit stunned.

Things settled down fairly quickly after that and we all got along quite well for a first meeting, this is us playing in the garden, well Boris and me playing and Cassie looking on.

I tried to get Cassie involved with the games, as any good host would even sneaking up on her from under the table, as you can see below, but she really wasn't that keen on my bossing Boris around like I'm used to so she stayed out of the way of the 'my mouths bigger than your mouth' games which Boris and I love.

later in the day we all went to the Plantation, which has lots of narrow tracks for running through and bushes for jumping over , we had such fun chasing noises, smells and each other look at Cassie's ears when she runs they stick up! she is really cute, not as pretty as me of course, but cute all the same.  Once we had been running around in the Plantation for a while we all started to feel a little tired, so I persuaded Mummy and Daddy to take us home for some dinner and a little rest.  Nat Nat and Gregg were at home waiting for us when we got home, which was a nice treat, although Nat Nat was not feeling very well.  I still got big hugs though.

We played, eat each others food and swapped rawhide bones all week end, that caused a bit of confusion and a few growls from all three of us you see we all wanted the biggest bits and none of us was particularly bothered about what was fair or who actually owned which bit.  Daddy got annoyed with this though and took all the bits away, we did get them back at the end of the visit though.  By the time Boris and Cassie had to go home they seemed quite settled, in fact I don't think either of them really wanted to go.  I think I'm quite a good hostess really, although all the effort in keeping everybody amused and happy is very tiring.  As you can see from the last picture I had to have a little rest after they had gone, actually, to be honest, I went back to bed and stayed there for the rest of the day. 



I'm hoping that Boris and Kassie can come back soon, or perhaps I could go up to see them, I'll have to have a word with Mummy and Daddy to see what we can arrange.  I'll let you know how I get on.

Write soon, lots of love Becka. Xx

Old friends and new friends!

Hello everyone,

We are having visitors at the weekend, you remember mummy and daddy's friends Gary and Sharron and their dog Boris, he's the one who taught me ditch jumping (quite a hunk actually), well he's got a new girl friend, they all live together in Cambridgeshire and they are all coming to visit on Saturday.

Boris' new girl friend is called Cassie, I've seen pictures of her and whilst she's not as pretty as me she looks great fun, I hope she likes me I'm sure I'm going to like her.  I'm told she is really good at 'my mouth is bigger than your mouth' as she plays it with Boris regularly and he taught me how to play so she would have lots of practice.  I'm really looking forward to them coming to stay it's going to be such fun I haven't had any one for a sleep over for ages.

I'll tell you all about it next week its soooooooooo exciting!

Lots of love

Nat Nat's 21st Birthday Party

Hello everybody,

Remember the last time I wrote mummy and daddy were planning Nat Nat's fancy dress party and I was going as Scooby Do, well last Sunday was the day, daddy and I worked all morning in the kitchen making lots of yummy food, some of which I can tell you was very yummy as I helped taste testing it!  But some of the especially yummy stuff that came out of the oven, I was not allowed to taste test it all, daddy can be so mean at times!

While daddy and me were working hard in the kitchen, mummy was cleaning the house and Gregg was setting up the bar and the tables and chairs in the garden, Caroline and Anthony arrived and set about setting up the music and helping move the food into the garden on the tables in the tent thing.  Just in time, we were all ready to wait for the guests to start arriving and we were taking photographs of Nat Nat in her costume, she looks more like someone else than my Nat Nat, but she rubbed my tummy just like Nat Nat so I knew it was her really.  Apparently she looked like someone called Marilyn Monroe, I don't know who this Marilyn Monroe person is, but she is very pretty if she looks like this, what do you think. 

We were all finishing off when we had a little bit of a problem, suddenly it started to rain and it got heavier and heavier and the wind blew, then suddenly the tent thing in the garden blew down and there was lots of running around and people panicking.  There was also a few rude words as daddy Anthony, Russell and Gregg ran out and rescued the tent.

Eventually with the tent all back up and secure every one calmed down again and people started to arrive and settle in some of them were dressed rather strangely look at the next two photographs and you will see what I mean now this is Nat Nat and Gregg together (outside the tent bit that collapsed).  He is Popeye, now I think I know who this Popeye chap is, he is the man that makes the popcorn chicken at Kentucky.  Nat Nat brings this round occasionally when mummy and daddy are away nice I like popcorn chicken.

I think they must be really happy, they look really happy and remember that when she is really happy Nat Nat starts trying to wrestle Gregg's head off, seems he's learnt to get his wrestling moves in first and trap those arms down below the level of his neck.

In amongst all of the guests, there was little people, you will recall little people and parties are great fun, if you follow them around they drop food, or now they are a little bit older they just give you food, I had a really good time with the little people at the party, Alfie, Sam, Reece and Jake all gave me loads of tit bits, although as you can see from the next photographs there was a really nice looking cake and both Reese and Jake were really mean with their cake, they ate it all themselves I didn't get any.  If you look carefully in the photograph you can see Jake on the left and Reece on the right covering their ears whilst every one is singing Happy Birthday to Nat Nat.  I thought it was OK daddy always sings like that and it seems all the mummies and daddies do too.

 

This is Nat Nat with mummy, seems she was the vicar of Dibley, whats a Dibley and why has mummy stolen their vicar, come to that, whats a vicar.  Nice cake though.

Now after all that partying and following the little people around (do the little people ever slow down or even stop) a girl needs her beauty sleep so even before the big peoples started to drift off home, I retired gracefully to my bed and had a big sleepies.

I heard mummy and daddy talking the next day and they said they had a lovely time at the party, so did I but I was very tired the next day I had to help with the clearing up and putting the furniture back where it should be and everything, well moving my bed back into my favorite corner on the floor in the middle bit of the sofa.

I hope all those who came to Nat Nat's party enjoyed it, write soon.

Lots of love Becka XXXXX
