Dad's Chair

While he was outside I decided to try his chair. It is actually very comfy. He may have to sit somewhere else from now on.

Wet-dog Day

This is me resting after a wet walk this morning. We met the hardiest of the gang down the field; Meg, Bailey, Charlie, Floyd, Zac and Rory were all there, with their bedraggled humans on tow.

Mice

See those two little black boxes beside me? There are mice in them. They have just been caught in our garage and are waiting to be taken out to the garden to be released. Most likely they will then run around the house and come back under the garage door, to be caught again tomorrow. They will get the treat inside the trap and do it all over again. Me, I am not interested. I am just waiting for my late evening walk.

Rabbit Park

Today we went for a walk in the park where the rabbits live. I did not see any, but I sure could smell them.

Long-tailed Tess

Yesterday we went in the car to a place in the hills, where I had a bit of a walk and a sniff around. It smelled like a lot of dogs come there. In this picture it looks as if I have a very long tail. I don't, I have just a normal tail.

New Camera

Mom has a new camera. It is so complicated and full of fancy features that she does know how to use it. She overestimated herself. This is the first picture. Me, upside down on the sofa.

Happy 10th Birthday Tess!

Dear Tess,

You were only a puppy when you became a member of our family. So cute and so naughty. We loved you from day one, and you have always been, and always will be, what our lives revolve around. We hope we can make this day, and the rest of your days as happy as possible.

Mom.

p.s. Roast chicken for dinner tonight!

Sunshine!

Today there was no rain. The sun was shining, and I was able to sit outside for a while. I had almost forgotten how nice it is to feel the sun on my back.

Lazy Blogger

I am still here, feeling fine, but we are getting tired of all the wet weather we have been having here. Actually, that is the reason for no blogging.
Mom, who helps me with the typing, (paws are not exactly fit for that) gets very depressed at this darkest time of the year. Wet walks, muddy boots, a muddy, smelly labrador, day after day, week after week - and now month after month! We just hope that things will get better soon, because next Tuesday we will be celebrating my 10th birthday. It better be dry enough for a PROPER outing.
