HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Mabel: We've had a really great festive season. I learned to open Christmas presents. We got an awful lot of gifts. Mostly food, some toys. Some of the treats we've had are fabulous and Pam says she'll order more. We've had long lie ins, big walks, been off the lead, met other dogs and generally been allowed to be puppies. We only wore our jumpers a few times because it's been quite warm. Morris kept getting into trouble becuase he kept stealing Christmas decorations. After getting toys as gifts, he really was being naughty. I didn't do anything like that.

Morris : It's been alot of fun the Festive season thing. Lots of things to eat. I did feel bad about the tree decorations but they were round and shiney and just looked brilliant. I've really enjoyed the whole "up the hill and off the lead" thing with "My Hero." Ewen is wonderful. He lets me run about and chase a ball. Mabel is useless at this because she misses the point of it all. I know that Ewen wants me to come back to him, with the ball. Mabel just runs about and ignores him. Can't decide if she's just slow or being irritating. Ewen says it's the latter, because she's a she.
