Magnus 29th August

Having the mobile kennel back is great.  We've been back to the woods.  I like running in the woods.  I do think this is my natural territory.  Sniffing for wolves, checking under tree trunks, searching the undergrowth.  Great stuff.  Really feel at home in there.  Sometimes even break into a trot.  Met some big pals.  Tried to get them to play.  In the end had to settle for a team shot!



My breed even got TV  time the other night.  fame.  A Wolfhound was on Supervet/Bioic vet.  That man is incredible.  Ard-Ri was a good looking chap but I think I 'm more camera friendly.  Any way, off to the couch.  I feel a snooze coming on.  It's all that wood running.

He's such a name dropper!! Humph.  Do agree though, getting back in the mobile kennel is great.  However, I do  have a complaint.  Magnus gets helped into the back of the car because it's a bit high.  I, of course, just elegantly jump in.  On Friday I thought I'd ask for help.  Pam tried to lift me in.  Ewen was too busy!!!!!  She dropped me. It was awful.  Fortunately no one saw me fall.  It was sooo embarrassing.  She was very upset.  She mentioned something about me being heavier than she thought.  Think I'll ignore that.

Well so much so for retirement.  Pam's back at work today.  But Ewen's got the mobile kennel back.  Fantastic.  Walks in different places again.  Not that I haven't enjoyed my walks around Lauder.  They are pretty spectacular.  And I met Ben again.  My puppyhood pal.  Isn't it funny how it doesn't matter how long it's been, with good friends it's like yesterday.  Ben and I had a great time.  It was sooooo good to see him.  He's a black lab.  Lots of fun.  Mirren's nose was totally out of joint.  It's a whole different story if it's her and Harry or her and Murdo.

Murdo is just a sweet young thing. Far too young for me.  He is only one and far too bouncy.  I had to put him in his place a few times. He's as good looking as Harry but blond where Harry is a red head.  Good company though and it's nice I can still get the attention of the younger fellows.  I mean, a girl needs to feel wanted, after all.  Magnus can play all he wants with Ben.  What is all this rough stuff when guys get together?  Why can't they just wag tails and be nice?

Magnus Monday 8th August

It's really cold and windy now. Soon be Christmas I think.  Turkey and presents.  I'll need to start saving my paw money.  It's been Common Riding here.  Lots of horses around and young men in funny hats.  I get a lot of "Can you put a saddle on that?"  Personally I think it's all a bit offensive.  I mean, what would happen if I passed a comment on a human's size?  Or if I peed on someone because their legs looked like a tree trunk, or a pole or something.  I feel very sensitive about it.
Ayway, went for a quick trot and gallop round the hills this morning. Great, and not a horse in sight.

Mirren Monday 8th August

It's barely August and he's thinking about Christmas.  Common Riding is over.  It's a big festival in the Scottish Borders.  Magnus usually reminds me he took first in fancy dress one year.  It seems to have slipped his mind this year.  I think I might enter next year.  I am so utterly gorgeous and lovely I'd have to get a first too.  Pam says she might take me in. 
He is correct in saying it's very cold, windy and dark today.  Much as I like the sun it's a lot easier when you don't have to pant so much.  Magnus is much more comfortable now.  The poor Big Guy spent some very warm night, not sleeping, just panting.  Is that sympathy you ask?! He is my pal as well as the bane of my life.

PS magnus.
Bone? who mentioned bone? Is she comparing me to a bone?
