ABANDONED!

Morris and Mabel : We have been much left on our own this week. Pam and Ewen at work and out socialising wthout us. Been lavishly walked and fed but had to stay awake and be on watch while they were out. We were brought back treats but we do miss them. Mabel had to go back to bed she was so tired out.

LAST OF SUMMER.

Morris: Well that's it. We are now officially in autumn. But before the summer ended we had a couple of days of glorious sunshine and we went paddling and swimming to cool off. Fabulous stuff. Mabel still keeps trying to start a fight with me but I can't be bothered. It's more fun trotting along beside Pam and Ewen, sniffing the surroundings and catching biscuits. She's far too energetic. She has spectacular zoomies after she's been in water. Seriously mental running.

Mabel: He really is becoming far more grown up and boring. He saves his energy for chasing things other than me. I just want to play ALL the time. Mind you what with dislocated hips and strips torn off him I kinda understand where he's coming from. I love being in the water and then running really fast to try and shake it off. (as Taylor Swift would say.)

VERY TIRED.

Morris : It was great to get home. These rounds of golf are very tiring. We enjoyed them but the runs on the beach were better. Nice socializing with the other golfers though. We were very well behaved and much patted and praised. It was really chummy being with all the guys. Think Mabel felt a bit left out so she was pleased to get home to Pam for cuddles. Then just to tire us out more, we had hydro on Thursday.

Mabel : He's right, actually, it was very male!! I was the only girlie there. Stood up for myself though and made sure everyone paid attention to me. It was lovely getting home and getting lots of cuddles. I also thoroughly enjoyed going to see Katie again at hydrotherapy. It meant all the salt was rinsed out of my coat and I feel much softer again. Bad moment on Sunday when we found out that my favourite field is out of action. Very upset. We walked up to it on Sunday and I was really looking forward to a HUGE run. There were sheep in it!!!!! Really irritated. Those sheep get everywhere. Not happy!! Had to go for a run in the woods instead.

MONTROSE

Mabel and Morris : This is like a postcard from both of us. Last week Pam went back to work. On Saturday morning Ewen took us away golfing to Montrose. Obviously, we weren't golfing but we walked round with him. Before hand we went for a HUGE walk on a totally deserted beach. Mabel ran and ran as usual. Morris stayed next to Ewen. Then we had to walk round the golf course with Ewen. No chasing balls. It took four hours. We

were exhausted. When we got back to the hotel we just wanted to climb on our furry and go to sleep. Mabel passed out almost imediately. WE have been VERY, VERY good. Ewen said so.

COATS.

Mabel and Morris : Here we are in our new, very bright coats.

RUNNING 2

Morris : I am soooo pleased with myself. We went to the beach, at Goswick, again and it was immense. Lots of running about. The tide was out this time so I didn't disappear into the sea again. But what I was really proud off was that I outran Mabel. I was flying. She got really pissed off. Went into a big huff.

Mabel : Can I just point out that I had just finished a HUGE run along the beach. He was much fresher than I was. Had a nice chill together too. Somehow or other I lost the belt off my flourescent coat the other day.. We have new ones and I really like them. Pictures next week.
