Magnus 30th August

Pam's back at work at again and is away more days. It's actually working out quite well.  This means she goes away and comes back.  Coming back means treats.  Ham and biscuits.  Every cloud......
Went to New Abbey yesterday.  To Sweetheart Abbey.  I remember it so well.  Ewen was surprised that I knew my own way to the river.  Silly boy.  Doesn't he know we can smell it!

It is a bit odd Pam being away when she's been here, with us, for the past few weeks.  I miss her.  She gives me lots of hugs, tells me I'm gorgeous and tries to stop me lying around with my legs akimbo.  She says it's just not lady like.  Yesterday was fun.  We go over to New Abbey and get to run about.  Pam goes to visit a place with loads of standing stones, with names on, with flowers? !
Anyway, we went a walk and left her to whatever she was doing but I missed her so I ran back to keep her company.  Unfortunately, I forgot to mention it to Ewen.  Alls well though.

It's raining.  Surprise, surprise. Went for a walk with Pam and Ewen today.  We went to the woods.  I feel more relaxed there just now.  We were in the corn fields yesterday morning and Ewen threw a stone for me.  When I sniffed it out there was something else there.  Not sure what it was but decided to leave the area quite quickly.  I can get quite a head of steam up when I try.

Poor Pam is back at work.  She had to go in on her day off for in-service day.  We went for a nice walk, all together.  Magnus is such a scare-dy puss.  Think he probably ran into a large rodent in the corn.  Personally, I'd have exited sharply too but I'm not telling him that.
Because I have been getting brushed, because it is raining, I have gone rather curly.  Don't know if it suits me.  I think I'm more of a bed-head kind of girl!

She's actually a cheetah.  There was me, quietly ambling through a corn field like Scooby Doo, when she attacked me by surprise.  She'd stalked me and waited for me and then jumped me.  What a fright.

Mirren Tuesday 12th August

He is such a sucker.  Get him every time.  I love the corn.  Because I'm so slim and light and fabulous I can run through the corn without hurting it.  He has to go up the tyre tracks.  Then I run ahead, wait, and pounce.  Joy.  He gets a fright every time.  Think he'd be on the look out.  But no. Ahead he comes. Lalalalala and then whump! I get him.

PS Pam got our birthdays wrong.  We were born in October so I'm still four.  He's five.  And three quarters

Magnus Tuesday 11th August

It's great to go away but I am happy to be home.  I know where everything is--the fridge, the biscuit cupboard, the water mugs, my bed.  The necessities of life that are important to a big guy like me.  Oh, and also Pam and Ewen's bed, and the couches.

Mirren Tuesday 11th August

Typical.  Anything to do with his stomach or his comfort!  We got tick treated when we got back.  We'd been done before but Pam wanted to top us up.  Just in case.  There's a lot of ticks down there in Cornwall.  I do agree though, it's nice to know exactly where I can go to lie down comfortably.

Magnus Saturday 8th August

Bit of a gap in our blog.  We've been away.  We've been in Cornwall, in a place called Pont.

We went with Ray and Lexi.  Ewen was working there so we all went and stayed for a week.  It's a long way.

I had a very embarrassing moment in Bodinnick.  I refused to get on the Fowey ferry.  Ewen pushed me on.  Of course, once I was on I was fine and I was fine on the way back too.  I just took a deep breath and got on with it. It was just that I didn't like the metal under my claws and the thing moved.  Ho hum, it's hard being a big dog.
I met with a very nice lady at Pont.  She used to have a Wolfie just like me.  He was called Flynn.  He's been away a while now but she was so thrilled to see me.  In fact I think she was a bit weepy.  She obviously missed Flynn a lot.  He must have been an incredibly handsome chap.  He looked like I do!!
Met an older chap in Fowey, with his owners.  His name was Buster.  He was getting on a bit and just waned to lie down.  After the ferry incident I would like to have done the same but the bench wasn't big enough.

It is always good to be home.  I am now five and Bog Boy is now six.  I wondered if we would have a party but Pam says we had a holiday instead!?  Not sure about that one.  Got to try Cornish ice cream though.  Bliss.  House in Pont was lovely. It was on Pont Pil.  Lots of ducks and swans too.  The ducks made a lot of noise when I went near them.  Left them alone just to shut them up.  A swan had the cheek to hiss at me.  I was stunned.  I just wanted a closer look and it hissed.  Lovely long neck, like mine.
The ferry incident was MORTIFYING.  People in cars were staring at us.

 I was with Pam and tried to pretend we weren't with him.  Everyone was very friendly and I was on my best behaviour for the public.  Looked gorgeous as ever.

Walked from Pont to Boddinick to see "The World." I was very impressed and could see myself being walked round the top deck.  Big Boy would be terrified, of course, it moves.  I would wear a diamond collar and just be fabulous
