Hello to all our friends who read this stuff.  Thank you.  M and M xxxxx

Mirren 20th Sept

What a guy.  Eating apples at 6am.  However, his friend was wearing a rather natty coat.  Asked Pam if we could get our winter coats out.  They're very warm with reflective stripes so I can be seen when I'm speeding about.  Magnus doesn't like his.  He has this whole butch thing about already wearing a fur coat.  Just wait until December!!

Magnus Sept 20th

Took two apples to my friend this morning.  I let her eat them all and refused even a nibble.  She deserves them all.

Well, I just let him get on with it.  He's got this thing about women with grey hair.  Must come from Pam.  Pretends he knows how to speak another language.  Rubbish!! I'm sure she had nae idea what he was talking about.( a little Scottish joke there) I see heartbreak when she chucks him.

Magnus Sept 19th

Met a new chum this morning.  It took a wee while to understand the different language.  Remembered not to shout as if they were deaf.  Anyway, eventually we crossed the language barrier.  I remembered Pam saying that if you blow gently down your nose and up a horse's nose they would understand.  Not sure what a horse is, but it seemed to work.  It's so nice to meet a girl who's bigger than me.  Nearly the same hair though!  Turns out we have something in common.  We both like red apples.  Ewen says I can take her an apple to share tomorrow.  Mirren ran away. Women!!

Mirren 16th September

Well, I think I'd better give my view of the falling affair.  Magnus really can be a bit dim.  I saw the whole thing happen.  Poor Ewen came down with quite a "Thump".  Magnus thought he was playing and kept pawing him and knocking himover everytime he tried to get up.  I showed far more sympathy and gave Ewen several healing licks.  I gave Magnus a severe woofing.  He is such an idiot.  Of course, after that he was all luvey dovey with Ewen.  I am not fooled.  Unfortunately, Ewen, being a man, falls for it everytime.  Pam is so less gullible.  Much more like me.  Girlies together.  One good thing was Ewen had to lie down a fair bit.  He hadn't been able to sleep.  Pain I suppose.  This meant I got to lounge around elegantly on the bed.  Bliss.

Magnus 9th September

Oh dear!!! Went for a lovely run in the woods at Gulley Wood.  Well I went for a run.  It's great.  Trees and ferns and places for things to hide.  Water for paddling in.  I'm not up for swimming again just yet.  Anyway, I went charging off into the woods closely followed by Ewen.  Unfortunately, he wasn't following me on foot.  He tripped and fell and rolled down the slope beside me.  I thought he wanted to play.  He assured me firmly that he did not.  Turns out he's broken his arm in two places.  Has to wear a stookie for a few weeks.  He can't drive.  Pam is not impressed.

Magnus Sept 5th Went in after a duck!!

Had a great day today.  Discovered a new walk with lots of burns and trees.

Went swimming.  Thought I saw a duck on the water.  Just went in.  It was a wee bit deeper than I thought I have to admit.  It was very scarey down there.  It was cold and dark and I did hope that Ewen would keep an eye on me.  However, I remembered someone telling me I should be able to doggie paddle and I did.  Came naturally.  Thought I was very brave.  Mirren would never have gone for a swim.  It was a bit green but, that's it.  I've been for my first swim.  I didn't understand why Mirren was rolling about with her paws in the air until I realised she was actually laughing.  I marched out, shook myself dry and pretended I had meant it.  Unfortunately, I have gone very curly and this means I have had to be brushed.  Although it was a very brave experience I'm not sure I'll do it again.

Mirren Sept 5th Magnus goes swimming

Okay, he's either blind or a total idiot.  There were Ewen and I, standing on the jetty, when the big boy just carried on walking past us and walked into thin air, until his weight pulled him down.  He went straight down into the water.  He disappeared for a few seconds then came up spluttering a bit and paddling away as if it was totally normal.  Ewen, poor chap, was about to dive in because he thought Magnus couldn't swim.  Long story cut short......he's fine.  Wore a wee green, pond weed hat for a while though.  I've never seen him hold his tail so high.  I'm not fooled.  He was scared rotten.  Couldn't hide it in false bravado.  What an idiot.  You won't catch me doing that.  For a start that water was green and secondly he looks as if he's had a perm.  Not good for a dog that size.  Honestly!!
