Swimming Brrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hiya Everybody,




A couple of weeks ago me and Barney went to see Nanny and Barrie Pebbles for the weekend and on the Saturday Fred Pup came with his mummy and daddy too. Well we all went to the beach and as usual Fred Pup and Barney made this big thing about Swimming, off they went into the water chasing the ball, it was cold and raining and they wanted to get even wetter. Boys honestly! Regular readers will know that I don't lower myself to such pursuits, even chasing the ball in the field is only an occasional pleasure, but in the sea no surely not!



Well on the Monday the weather changed completely and it was really hot when we went to the beach, as before the two boys went straight in the water and this time, because it was so hot I must admit I was tempted, as you can see.



It really did look very inviting it was lovely and clear and when it lapped up to my paws it was really refreshing and the two boys seemed to having a good time.  Well now or never and no point in being tinid about it all or nothing I say, so I went for it.  Two big bounds and SPLASH I was in, have a look at these

This is all well and good, but I can't swim can I, well it apperars I can although the water may have felt nice on my paws, out here where there was no bottom it was freezing, I turned round, discovered my swimming paws and headed back to the bit where your paws meet the ground.



As soon as my paws met the ground I high tailed it out of there as quick as I could, I was wet and cold and evrybody was laughing at me.

That really is it for me tried it didn't like it not doing it again.  Once I got home Daddy dried me off with a towel and I went straight to bed and there I stayed until we went home back to my Bungalow.  A week later we went to see Nanny and Grandad sand, sure enough Barney was off in the water (there was humps with white frothy bits and moving hills in this water, very scarey!) but I stayed on the nice dry soft sand.

No more swimming for me, I can tell you.  Got to go now daddy is due home soon, love to every one

Happy Birthday Barney

Hiya everybody,




It was Barney's birthday yesterday; he is now two years old. Just entering the terrible two's I can't wait! So far he's been the same as normal, if you can call him normal at all. Everything is his world is just so exciting all of the time, it’s like Daddy outs something in his food.



He had Fred Pup over last night for a sleep over party to celebrate his birthday, even Fred pup gets worn out by him and he's only young himself, mind you he has got tiny little legs and Barney is very quick of the mark. They play together all day long and all evening if Barney has anything to do with it. I stay out of it as much as I can, just sticking my nose in to keep the boys under control.



As you can see below they make a fine pair and have a really good time together.  See what I mean abut Fred Pup's little legs, bless him!

I however am so tired I have to take to my bed and ignore them whenever possibleand rest, not that I need much beauty sleep you understand.

Anyway Happy Birthday little Bro hope you had a nice day.  I love you really, most of the time.

Bye bye write soon, love to you all

I found the Married!

Hello everyone,




I've been keeping my head down at home because we have had another Married in the house, you remember a few years ago Mummy and Daddy got a Married, but they went away to get theirs, well this time Natalie and Gregg got married, but they did it from home.



Well I wasn't going to miss out on this opportunity, Me barney and Fred Pup have all been keeping watch to see if we could see when the Married arrived, we all missed it coming in, but I sneaked up stairs with the camera and took a photograph of it in Mummy and Daddies bedroom. I'm not allowed up there really so it was a big risk! (I was a little bit frightened to be honest. I won't be doing it again!). It is a big white thing that looked a bit scary really. What do you think?

When the day came to show everyone the married, Fred Pup, Barney and me were taken out by Daddy for a really long walk and when we got back there was lots of Girlies at home, all running around getting their hair done and painting colours on their faces. We were all banned from the lounge and every time the door was opened a chair and stuff was slid in the gap so we never got to see what was going on really, I did try but this was as close as I could get.

The boys were of no help at all they were in the garden playing for most of the morning, they just don't understand the girly stuff and how important it is, all they were interested in was fighting and chasing a ball. Where’s the fun in that!



Anyway although I couldn't see all that was going on, I did manage to get a quick photograph of Caroline doing Lacey's hair there was three girlies all dress in blue at the end but at this stage, apart from Caroline everyone still seemed to have their PJ's on almost like they had been to a sleep over.

Well as time went on Natalie disappeared up the stairs with Mummy where the big white thing was in the bedroom, and they were gone a long time, daddy was up there to for a little while,, probably wrestling with the white thing to try to control it, well they didn't do a very good job, because it eat Natalie, look the next time we all saw her she was completely covered with it. Although she looks very happy about the whole thing and she did look very pretty. Like I do when I get a new collar, only joking she looked even better than that. See what you think. I think she looks beautiful.

So there it is that a married, it’s all about the big white scary thing, and it makes people cry a little bit especially the Mummy's, although when Fred Pup tried to curl up on the back of the white thing and go sleepies that caused a few raised voices! But that’s a story for another day, for the moment we are still enjoying the Married.



Write soon, love ya!

Who's a pretty boy then!

Hiya Everybody,

Remember yesterday I told you that the fur ball was going to the pet parlour for a hair cut, well when he left this morning he looked like this, little thug that he is!

Then when he got back from the hair dressers he looked like this

I'm not sure he likes his new look a great deal, if I may say so it's a bit Gay!  I did tell him that when he came home, but now I've got to explain Gay to him, I'm not entirely sure how to go about that, but I'm sure once Daddy leaves us alone I can explain it to him.  I'm sure as soon as he can he will be in the first muddy puddle he can find, which is a shame because he smells really nice, actually I'm a little bit jealous.

See you all soon, lots of love Becka Xxx

New Door

Hiya everybody,

Since I last wrote we have had another door put on the front of the house, uncle Nicky and his Daddy came around a couple of weeks ago on a weekend and fitted it for us.  Doesn't it look nice, we have a lovely dry room outside the old front door now where we can wait for daddy to take off our leads and we can wipe our paws before coming into the house.  How good is that!

Mummy's and Daddy's think of everything don't they.

Barney is going to the hairdressers tomorrow, he doesn't know it yet but they are going to bath him and cut his hair so he looks a bit smarter than he normally does, he is such a scruffy little dog and typical bloke he doesn't care as long as he is having fun then he is happy.  Mind you what exactly is the fun chasing a ball, that every time you bring back Daddy just throws away again and Daddy throws it a long way (he even has a special stick to help him).  if anyone can tell me where the fun is in that I would be very interested to learn, actually that not really true, I don't really care its not for me that's for sure, i have daddy to fetch things for me not the other way around, really how demeaning is that.

I'll try to put a before and after picture of Barney's trip to the hairdressers tomorrow, did I tell you the last time we went to the doggie doctors he had his nails clipped, perhaps he is learning after all!

Write soon, love to all of you

Ps i will have to get the main picture changed, although I like the one of mee peeping out of the door.

Poorly Paw!

Hi everyone,

When is it going to warm up! all the pretty yellow flowers that come up this time of year are buried in the white stuff called snow.  We went out to the park with Daddy yesterday and Barney was running around after his ball like a lunatic as usual.  There must have been something sharp hiding in the white stuff because when he got in the car he was leaking the red stuff all over the carpet in our bit at the back.

when we got home the red stuff was every where and it took Daddy ages to work out where the leak was, eventually he found it and put a bandage on it, I'm not sure what this bandage stuff is, but it stopped the leak and when Daddy took it back off later Barney was able to clean up the red stuff himself.  I had a leaky paw a few years ago and it really stings, but he has been very good about it.

He seems fine this morning, but he is still licking it a lot, I don't think we will be back up the park for a day or two, still not a problem for me its really too cold to be up there any way.

I'll let you know how he gets on with his poorly paw.

Lots of love Becka Xx

Boys !

Hiya, Everyone


Is it really necessary for boys to be quite so disgusting. Mummy took Freddie the terrorist, Barney and me out for a walk this morning and just look at the state these two got into.



 

 

They just seem to enjoy the mud and the dirt, and what is this thing about chasing a ball, it's just so demeaning!

Mummy had to stand the two off them in the bath and shower them off.  I however was only a little bit muddy on my tummy from splashes.

Must go now I need to get some rest whilst the two 'Boys' are quiet.  Just before I do though, whats a Bath?

Love you all.
