Magnus 30th July

It's Common Riding week.  All these ride out things are very historical and very Borders.  I remember one year I went into fancy dress and won.  I was with Uncle Mike.  Anyway, my bloods are fine and I seem to be feeling a lot better.  Eating well and Pam has discovered 100% wild boar strips.  I NEVER get treats because of my funny tummy.  I LOVE these.  I was dreaming, last night, about chasing wild boar in a forest, with a pack of my family.  Must have been from a previous life.  It was so exciting.  Everyone was shouting, "Sanglier. "  That means wild boar in French.

I really don't want to hear about him and fancy dress again.  After many years it is just tedious.  The boar strips are amazing.  I've also tasted the dried duck and the lamb but Pam and Ewen are worried Big Boy won't be able to digest them properly so he doesn't get them.  You know, Pam has been talking about these books about Asterisk and Obelix.  Obelix sounds like Magnus, big and powerful but gentle.  Sensitive and shy.  And adores wild boar.  I'm more like Asterisk.  Intelligent!

Magnus 25th July

Been away to Roman Camp, in Callander, for Pam's birthday.  It appears a good time was had by all.  My tummy is still off and I've to go back to the vets.  Ewen has had to do poo samples for me.  Pam's been hinting about blood tests.  Was right off my food again, but they've been letting me try egg whites, potatoes and gluten free haggis--yum yum yummy yum.  That made me eat.  Very tasty.  I even had some chef cooked cod at the hotel.  Will keep you informed.

Pam had a lovely time at the hotel and apparently loved the food.  Magnus and I had our own travelling beds, a sitting room of our own and a door right into a lovely garden.  Because it was warm Pam and Ewen left the door open all night.  Something spooked me.  Had to sleep on their bed just to be safe.  Magnus didn't bat an eyelid.  Some guard dog he is.  Magnus was right off his food until they tempted him with haggis.  That seemed to get him peckish again.  He's not stopped eating since.

Magnus 21st July

Morning all.  Stomach still off.  Back on pills, powders and stuff to bung me up!!!  This hot weather isn't helping.  Pam has checked, apparently, Wolfies aren't great with warm weather.  We like it cool.  Eating well though.  They've put me on a chicken and fish diet.  Mirren says I've to keep playing it up because the food is amazing just now.  We are going back up to Roman Camp on Monday.  Love it up there.  It's Pam's birthday.  She told I'm not allowed to say which birthday it is!


Mirren 21st July

Magnus has his good points.  This tummy upset is providing us with fabulous food.  It's been an experience.  We are off to Callendar this Monday.  Pam has an important birthday and Ewen is taking us all away for a wee trip.  Love it at Roman Camp.  I feel I'm treated to the life I surely should have.  It's hard being so gorgeous and elegant.

Magnus Saturday14th July

Bonjour mes amis. C'est Bastille Day. Pam told me to write that.  But yes, hello.  Anyway, been at the vet.  Tummy a bit off.  I saw Kirsty.  She was lovely.  I had a very sore tummy and she made it better.  I think she's amazing.  Mirren was definitely in the huff.  She didn't get to flirt with Colin.  She grumped about it the whole weekend.  She really is difficult to please.  She couldn't even get excited about being on a golf course and meeting Ricky Fowler.  I mean... Ricky Fowler!  Oh, Pam's back from her holidays.  Ewen had a word with me and told me to be a bit more obvious about being glad to have her home.  So I tried to jump up on her and got a row.  A guy can't win.

Pam came back last night.  Thank goodness.  Sanity returns.  And of course I get massive big cuddles.  Magnus tried to put his paws on her shoulders!!!!  Really not a good idea but she was very pleased he tried.  Devastated I didn't see Colin at the vet last week but at least Kirsty stopped that terrible smell coming out of Magnus's bottom.   Yes we've had some interesting walks at the beach and on golf courses.  I have no idea why Ewen and Magnus got so excited about Ricky Fowler? Why are they excited by golf?  I don't know.  At least Ewen took some gorgeous portraits of me.  I look fabulous.  The wind rippling through my hair.  Stunning.
