I'm Home !

Hi Everybody,



I'm back from my holidays, I had a lovely time in Selsea with Nanny and Barrie pebbles, we went for lots of lovely walkies and I had grated cheese on my dinner more often than not. I played with Beemer on the beach and my friend Mattie came to stay as well, we had great fun together. Mummy and Daddy were also away on their holidays, they went to America, which is very far away, I'm not sure if its as far as Selsea, but its a long way.

Nanny and Barrie brought me home on Saturday and Mummy and Daddy came home on Sunday, Mummy and Daddy had been to see my friend Boris and his new friend Kassie at Sharon and Gary's house in Cambridge (is Cambridge in America, cos I've been to Cambridge and its not as far as Selsea).

Unfortunately, Mummy and Daddy took the camera when they went on holiday, so I couldn't take any pictures of my holiday, not sure I could have managed all those little buttons anyway, I have enough trouble with the keyboard! But you will have to take my word for it Selsea in the summer, with your friends is the place to be.

I'll write again soon, but for the moment, I have to start retraining Mummy and Daddy about the grated cheese on my dinner, now where is Nanny pebbles phone number, I had it on a disc around my neck for the last couple of weeks, but I got a new collar when I got home (a pink one that says good girl on it, its really pretty) and this disc has got Mummy and Daddy's numbers on it. So I can't get Nanny pebbles to call Mummy and Daddy and explain that I'll eat all that boring dog stuff, if its got cheese on it.

Never mind, I'm sure they will learn given enough time, they can be a bit stubborn, you see its important to let them think they are in control, which they are when I let them. I have to be a bit careful, Mummy and Daddy might read this blog, you can never be sure. Any way I just wanted to say thank you to Nanny and Barrie pebbles for a lovely holiday.

lots of love Becka. XX

I'm going on Holiday!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone,

Sorry I haven't been writing for a while, but I've been busy organising Mummy and Daddy to make sure everything is ready for my Holiday with Nanny and Barrie Pebbles. You see I have to have a clean bed, new bags of food, plenty of biscuits and all my toys and a towel have to be packed. Then I'm off to the sea side to see my friends in Selsea.

I'll miss Mummy and Daddy, but I'm really excited to be going on my holiday, last year I went to stay with Auntie Carol, Uncle Paul and Mattie which was great fun, but they are away this year, so I get to go to the sea side, how exciting I'll see my little friend Beamer, he is a Jack Russell and has got lots of energy, you see he only weighs about 2kg where I'm a big dog who uses much more energy to chase him around. Last time I saw him I had to put my paw on him to keep him still, sounds like a plan for this time too.

See you all soon, I'm off now to check that Mummy and Daddy have packed all the right things and to wait for my lift to arrive. I'll tell you all about it in a couple of weeks.

Love Becka.

Birthday party SURPRISE!

Hi Everyone,

Its me again, Mummy and Daddy left for a weekend in London on Saturday and Natalie and Gregg came to look after me for the weekend. Well almost the moment Mummy and Daddy left the house, things started to happen, Caroline and Anthony arrived, furniture got moved around and brightly coloured sparkly things (banners?) were stuck up all over the place with ballons. The big tent thing was brought out and put up in the back garden and Anthony set up big boxes that played music into the back garden.

Really good thing was though after all their efforts during the afternoon and into the evening, they had Pizza, I like Pizza and I was allowed to stay up and help them finish off the end of it. Yummy!

Well the next day Nat Greg, Caroline and Anthony were all at it again, this time making lots of yummy food, I helped wherever I could, especially clearing up the bits they dropped! I was good at that. Then all sorts of people started to arrive, some I had met before and some new people that I had never seen, they all seemed very nice and they all thought something was very funny, but no one told me what the funny thing was.

Suddenly we were all told to go into the front garden, I had to have a lead on because of the road, but everyone stood in the garden and waited, all seemed a little strange. Then suddenly Mummy and Daddy arrived back from London (Gregg had collected them from the station and brought them home) Daddy looked a little confused, even more than normal actually, but he was smiling a lot when he got out of the car and he made a big fuss of me and seemingly everyone in the garden. It seems that Mummy had been fibbing to him for months and arranged the party as a surprise, well it must of worked because Daddy certainly looked surprised.

I'll post some pictures and more details in a couple of days, got to go now, the suns out and there is this lovely new deck to lay on and sun bathe I like sun bathing, not as much as Pizza, now there is a thought, laying on the deck in the sun eating Pizza, Mmmmmmmmmm

See you all soon, lots of love.

Happy Birthday 50 today!

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to wish my Daddy a Happy Birthday, he is 50 years old today. Mummy explained that that is very old, much older than me, I'm not entirely sure how this works yesterday he was not 'very old' and today he is. is there something in the bedroom that changed him overnight.

Anyway he was fine when he took me to the park this morning so being 'very old' can't be that bad. I'll let him rub my tummy later that always seems to please him, pleases me too!

Must dash now Happy Birthday Daddy.

lots of love, Becka X

Wow what a difference !!!!

Hi Everybody,

Danny, Dave and Ricky, took the cage off of the face ting that they have built in my garden yesterday and what a difference it makes, they must now be confident that they have tamed the big brick thing because up until now they have had to keep it in a big cage to keep it under control, but now its been set free!

It doesn't seem to do much though if I'd been kept in a cage for all those months I'd be running around and having fun, this brick thing just sort of sits there, still got that nice face though. See big nose two eyes and a rather gappy smile.

Just so you can appreciate how different this looks from the original (before Danny and his mates stole my garden) I've had Daddy dig out a photograph I published before they arrived, the big brick built bit is very big isn't it? This is how it used to look, I recognise the bit on the right, but it has changed a lot.

As you can see though, as long as I've got my rug to stretch out on I can be comfortable in any room although i do miss the soft fluffy stuff (carpet?) that is still left in some of the rooms. Nice fireplace in here though, I'm almost looking forward to when the snow stuff comes back and we can have another fire, I like fires they are lovely and warm.

Got to go now, remember last week it was my birthday, well tomorrow its Daddy's birthday apparently he is 50 and that quite a big deal, I still can't count is that better than being 2 because I'm 2 and that makes me feel important!

I'll let you know what happens tomorrow, but I'm sure Mummy is up to something.

Love to you all.

Its My BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

Its my Birthday today, Happy birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday dear Becka, Happy birthday to me!

OK having done all that, whats a Birthday? its obviously something good because I had biscuits in bed and Mummy sang the funny little song to me whilst rubbing my tummy. then I got a big pot of scrummy cheesy stuff to lick clean and had a nice little walk in the park with Daddy (extra biscuits here too!)

The only thing that worries me a little bit is that I'm going to get a present tonight as it's my Birthday, apparently I'm two but that can't be right as there is only one of me. This present, is having a Birthday a bit like having an engaged, only if it is I don't want Nat Nat coming round trying to wrestle my head off, that would'nt be much of a present.

Anyway what ever it is I think I like having a Birthday I'm getting lots of attention, which is always good. Perhaps I can have another one tomorrow, or is that being greedy.

Write soon, love

Becka.

Just when I though it was safe to move in !

Hi Everybody,

I really thought I'd worked it out, Mummy and Daddy were building me an annex for me to move into, might be a bit chilly though, look no windows although it does have a big fireplace for Daddy to play with the logs hes been chopping out the front.

I'd sort of got used to being allowed into my new annex when the door was left open during the day, it was screwed shut at night to keep the cold out no windows you see! I have tried to tell them. Anyway my hints about the cold and the rain getting in must have taken into account (standing shivering must have done the trick!) because suddenly windows and doors arrived and in a day they were in and sealed up. if you look carefully in the next picture you can see them in the hole in the wall.

You can also see in this photograph that all the pink walls have been turned white. Nanny and Grandad sand came up and helped Mummy and Daddy put all the white stuff onto the pink stuff, the white stuff must be very dangerous because I was not allowed anywhere near it. I have been back several times since and had a smell and a little lean on it and it seems OK, Mummy and Daddy don't seem to mind me doing this after their finished, but when they are putting the white stuff on they banish me from the room.

I've now discovered that the white stuff is called paint and comes in big tubs and smaller tins, take my advise, stay away from the white stuff until after its been there for a while, Daddy has loads of it on his shoes and it doesn't come off, nasty stuff this paint.

Anyway, I'd come to terms with the new annex and the day time access, I was just planning moving in, when suddenly after a particularly noisy day Danny, and his brother Dave stole one of the walls in the hallway, fortunately it wasn't one of my favourite leaning positions, but whatever next! as fast as they are building new bits they start knocking down the old bits, maybe Mummy and Daddy have some sort of an exchange arrangement going on, for every bit they add on they get to take an old bit away, you remember the first thing they did was take away a piece of the garden. Look at the picture below, this is from the new room looking into hall, see no wall, big isn't it no wonder it's cold in this bit all the time, even with the new windows. I don't mind too much because my beds are by the radiator in the kitchen and the fire in the lounge, although suddenly Mummy and Daddy call this the dining room, whats a dining room we never had one of those before.

I'll let you know how things progress and if I find out what the dining room is, remember though stay away from the paint stuff!

Lots of love, Becka
