AUTUMN???

Morris: These new coats are brilliant but I do like to run free and we did that at Abbotsford house today. Fantastic. I also really like water.???? Got the all clear last Tuesday from Kirsty at Galedin Vets. It was lovely to see her again. My ears are apparently nice and clean now about which, I am very happy. I am also very happy that I'll be going to see my friend Katie at Greenside again soon. She does the most amazing massage.

Mabel : He might be a fan of water but I really like running and boy, did we run. Just fantastic. Woods. Full of tree rabbits and the like. Excellent run. Needed to pant a lot. I didn't realise my tongue was so big?

Morris AGAIN : I do have to chip in again. We did have a great run today.

WET AND DRY!

Mabel : We got really wet the other morning. We were hit by Storm Babet and had really heavy rain. We didn't get flooded but lots of Scotland did. Of course Pam said we needed new coats that would fit us. I now have a pink raincoat and Morris has a yellow one. His is bigger than mine because I am a slim, fit, athlete. I did worry, at first, that my coat might slow me down or warn rabbits that we are near. They must be colour blind !!!!!

Morris : I quite like my yellow coat. I have to watch what I eat. It could get a bit tight round the waist. I have been scavenging a lot recently. A bit of duck, some steak, cheese, toast. Basically anything Ewen leaves lying around. Pam says I've never really got my figure back after I dislocated my hip. I think that's a bit harsh but anyway.... My ears are all cleaned out now and I can hear a squirrel laugh. My eyes are nicely fixed too. Must go and check out the kitchen. I think I sniff something tasty.

SPECS!

Morris and Mabel : We both have eye infections!!! Been getting drops and wiped! Vet later today for yearly check up and for jabs. We'll get everything checked then. But anyway, Pam thinks we have got dust or grit in our eyes from sticking our heads out the car windows, or a chill. We do stick our heads out all the time. It's like running REALLY fast and we love doing it. But it's been really cold here. Up shot is Pam has bought us specs. Not goggles like Magnus had. Big wrap round specs like aviators wear. Mabel thinks they are really cool and doesn't mind them. Morris thinks they're a bit of a pest on his nose.

QUIET LIFE.

Morris : It's been a quiet week since Pam came back. Just the usual things happening. Sleeping. Eating. Walking. Apart from Mabel, who has twice rolled in something disgustng. I had to go and sit on the opposite side of the car to get away from her. She was really smelly!! Mabel : I have discovered " Eau de Poo de Venison". Just had to roll in it twice in three days. This necessitated a shampoo and shower on both days. I can still get a bit of a whiff but neither Pam nor Ewen really liked it. Morris pretended he wasn't too fond of it either but I think he was just jealous he didn't find it first.

BEACHES.

Morris: Ewen has new wellies and he can come into the water with us. It is just so AWESOME.

Pam's been away so we have had long walks on the beach and up the hill. I love the water. The sea is trickier because of the waves but you just have to run at them and jump.

Fabulous stuff. Had our monthly hydro session again. What with the walks and the hydro I was just wiped.

Mabel: I missed Pam. She gives me cuddles. At least when she's at home the numbers are even. Anyway, I have to be more assertive when she's not here. Have to admit, though, the walks were just brillant.

It really lets us run when we go to the beach. No trees to run into, no big potholes to jar our shoulders. Flat and even. Fabby.

I'm still not 100% sure about hydro. I just feel caged in. Love the massages though.
