GETTING COLDER!!

Mabel : It's been a funny old fortnight. After having Pam at home so much, she's back at work and we hardly see her on walks. She does come out sometimes. There's a cut field and we get to just run and run playing with our new furry, lure toys. That's just brilliant. Ewen takes us out in the mornings and now it's dark and we have to wear our torches. Despite the fact it's only August the temperatures have really dropped and it's really wet. We have decided that the best way to get through all this is just to get cuddled in either to each other or I get settled in my'Batcave'.

Morris : I have also decided to start getting Pam organised. Even when she's working she's inclined to stay up later than Ewen, Mabel and I. This really dirupts the sleeping arrangements so I have decided to get a bit bossy. I stand in front of her and tell her she really needs to go to bed now, and not be selfish and disturb everyone else when she finally decides to come to bed. Seemed to work. Will keep this up. Rather pleased with myself.

FIRST DAY.

Mabel and Morris : Today, Pam goes back to work. We have had her at home for seven weeks and we will miss the company. It's going to be weird having the house to ourselves again although Ewen is always around. This past week has been brilliant. All four of us have had lovely walks with a lot of racing about. The new lure toy is just brilliant and Pam has made another one for us. It's a wee bit bigger but still flaps around and squeaks. We get so excited about going on our walks and we sometimes have to tell the parents to get a move on!!! Gosh

! We are a handsome pair.

OVER FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

Morris : That's it for another year. Peace. Fewer horses for a wee while. Went down to the farm to see the horses there. They were all quite tired after a busy week. We had hydrotherapy again this week. I do enjoy the massage bit and genuinely love sitting in the water, on Katie's lap, falling asleep as she rubs my hip joint. Utter, unadulterated bliss. Katie says my hip is in great condition and my muscles have balanced out.

Mabel : I'm not sure I really like hydro. It's more of a chore to me. They let me go first this time and then I could just sleep on my nice, cosy fleece.

Katie makes me work my shoulder. I know it's good for me but it can twinge a wee bit. Morris just loves it. I always thought a spa day would be relaxing. Anyway. Pam has bought us a present which will arrive today. She's bought us a proper lure to chase after. I AM SO EXCITED!!!
