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.

Its Christmas again !

Hiya Everybody,

Its Christmas again, I'm not entirely sure what that is but it means there are lots of great smells around the house and we get new toys and treats and Mummy and Daddy stay home and take us for lots of walkies.  It also means we get lots of pretty lights around the house and trees to hold them up.

Now I'm a bit worried about Barney with the trees because when he sees these outside in the woods he often does a tripod act an wee wees on them.  I don't think Mummy and Daddy would be very impressed with that so I have been watching him.  Now he is still very young and he is getting a bit carried away with this Christmas thing, look he even uses his bone like a trumpet to make his bark louder (he only has a little bark)

Funny little thing isn't he!  Now Freddie the terrorist is getting a wee bit older and he is becoming almost calm, particularly if he has been out for a big walkies with Barney and me.  The only problem is he is a typical boy and is not very elegant when he is asleep and is it really necessary to wave it in my face when I'm trying to sleep Really!  Such a fuss about nothing.

Now these trees that I mentioned we have one in the lounge where our soft beds are and one in the dining room where our hard beds are both are really pretty, I think I prefer the one in the lounge see what you think.





The first one is the one in the lounge and the second one is the one in the dining room, you may have to lay on your side to see these properly as I haven't quite got the hang of the camera just yet.  Sorry about this.

Well its back to bed for me and Barney Uncle Paul and Auntie Carole are staying and Uncle Paul goes very very early to go to work and comes home then goes to bed (I Think he has a bit of doggie in him, he like to go to bed in the afternoon like me and Barney).  Mummy says it's because he's a 'Tube' driver, but how can you drive a tube, really Mummy you can't fool me!

Were off to see Nanny and Grandad sand on the week end I wonder what Barney will make of a sandy beach.  I bet he goes in the water again, he did when we went to see Nanny and Barrie pebbles, silly doggie when will he learn.  There is lots to do on the beach though and some wonderful smells.  its going to be great fun!  We are so lucky.

I have to go now so Merry Christmas from me and Barney, hope you have as much fun as we will.

Merry Christmas every one, lots of love to you all

Ahhh Sunshine

Hello again,

Its been fairly quiet of late, Barney has settled in really well, cheeky guy has even started to make himself at home in my beds but he is really good company even if he wants to play most of the time.  Well I suppose its just he is still very young.

We had Freddie the terrorist over on Saturday morning for a big walkies, daddy took us all to the woods after it had rained a lot on Friday night and there were lots of big puddles in the pathways.  i tried to explain to Freddie and Barney that these could be used as practise for ditch jumping, but Freddie's legs are too short and Barney just loves the water, so the end result was they just ran through the big muddy puddles rather than gracefully sprang over them.  what a state they were in by the time we got back to the feilds.

Daddy is really quite clever though, you remember that Freddie and Barney like to chase a ball (its a boy thing I think!)  well Daddy made the ball go into the long wet grass, so by the time we got back to the car they were very wet, but quite clean.

The walk that Daddy took us on was a lot longer than the normal one so we were all tired when we got home, even Freddie and Barney had to admit defeat and lay down.  I introduced them to the pleasures of stretching out in the sunshine in the lounge, as you can see the warmth really send us off to sleepies.

Now I have to admit I didn't take this photograph as that me fast asleep in the front, but as you can see with a bit of careful organisation we all get our own shaft of sunshine to sleep in.  Clever huh.

Must go now the suns just come out again and I feel a snooze coming on.

Love to every one.

What no collar

Hiya everybody,

Barney and me took daddy for his walk around the block this morning as usual and we were just getting home when I spotted a new doggie in the area, naughty doggie ran across the road by our house into a front garden opposite, he didn't have a collar or a mummy or daddy with him.  I wanted to go and say hello, but daddy wouldn't let me.

Daddy did manage to get this photograph on his telephone thing so if you know where this doggie lives let his mummy and daddy know he was out on his own this morning.  In case you were wondering Barney didn't see a thing, but then he is a boy and they walk along smelling all sorts of nasty things, he has always got his nose in places that he really shouldn't.

I hope I get to see this doggie again, it is really pretty, looks a bit like me.

write soon, lots of love

Becka
