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!
