AUCHENCAIRN.

Mabel : We have just been on the most amazing holiday. We had a whole week of 24/7 with Pam and Ewen and the most brilliant walks and runs. Even Morris was allowed off the lead for a trot because the sand flats let him run safely. I did laugh though when he stopped rigid, staring at something in the distance. I wasn't bothered by it but he was certainly stopped in his tracks. Pam even walked out to the thing that was scaring him and moved it. After a good sniffing he was fine. It was a bouy. Eejit. We were staying in an old gate house castley thing with a lot of stairs. We got up and down them with no problems. Our best run was a place called Sandyhills. Pam used to go there when she was little. The tide was out and we got to walk out sooooooo far!!

Morris : It really was very good. We also had a visit from Mikki. I got a telling off because I tried to do things to her but nothing was working. Mikki wasnt bothered. I gave up and just went for a snooze. It was so good to be allowed to go for a run. The sand was just perfect. I did have a couple of spills which put Pam and Ewen into a panic. I skidded on grass and on the kitchen lino. Seems Katie and my hydrotherapy are doing the job. Bounced back up no problems. I have no excuses about the funny, white, ball thing. It must have triggered something in my head because I thought it looked really scary. I pee-ed on it to show it who was boss.

I have also won the treat catching competition. Mabel can only look on in awe and jealousy.
