MORGANISTMAS,

Morris and Mabel : Merry Morganistmas everyone. Been quiet this year. Usually have a houseload for dinner and we get turkey dinners. Getting the turkey but no big dinner this year. Lots of people doing other things, abroad, been in hospital, grandweans etc etc. For those who don't know Morganistmas is memory of another of P and E's dogs called Morgan, who LOVED Christmas. He was going to miss his last one so they brought it forward two months. Become a bit of a staple now. Anyway, getting a bit chillier so Pam put on our winter coats. We haven't had them on for over a year OOPS! buttons need moved.

OCTOBER HOLIDAY.

Morris : We have had a lovely week. Lots of time with Ewen and Pam. Travelling about, visiting places and getting to see Katie at Greenside. It's been great fun. We've been to the beach. We had a burger each as a treat. That was spectacular. It even had cheese. We had hydrotherapy on Thursday with Katie. It was so lovely to see her again. Just had to sit on her in the tank, as usual, and chill out as she massaged me. No wonder I could run so fast after that hare!!! Pam showed her the picture of Mabel chasing me on Goswick beach and she was very impressed by my leg extension.

Mabel : We have had a great week but he's missed some bits. We had a fab run meeting new people and dogs, on the beach at Musselburgh. Yes the burgers were great!! Then we had Katie. Pam has bought us new microfibre towel coats so we stay warm and dry quicker. I fell asleep. Then we had a brilliant walk round our new favourite field and we raised a hare. What an amazing chase. Really got to stretch out and show our pace. We worked really well as a pair but hares can jink around even quicker than I can and it went through a wall. Personally, I think that's cheating! Gutted to find out sheep are going in that field now too. He forgot we had a vet visit on Wednesday to Galedin. Both totally brilliant. Even our teeth are good. We got jabbed, but our vet, Fiona Meikle, did a great job. First time we've met her. Morris lay down on the floor and didn't pay much attention Embarrassing!!!!!

Before the hare!!!

After the hare!!

Morris and Mabel : We have now got our Remembrance poppies on our collar. Pam has ordered us purple poppies for all the animals who died in wars. We would have been messenger dogs in WW1 because we can both run really fast and we're camouflaged.

WINDOW DRESSING!

Mabel and Morris : It is restored. We had to give up some paw money for a new, metal rail but at least the curtains are back up. However, that Bengal cat has had its card marked!! Mabel : I did not improve my feminine status yesterday. I found a nice new deer poo. Its perfume overwhelmed me. Ewen was not happy. I was covered in poo on one side of my neck and shoulders. I was going to get hosed down but Pam said it was too cold outside so, for the first time, I was in the shower. Very pleasant. Warm. Cosy. Morris : She stank!!!

OOOOPS!!!!

Mabel and Morris : We are writing this together this week because neither of us wants to get the other into trouble by writing anything incriminating. We have been great all week. We have been much admired and praised, at least until tea time an Saturday.

Pam and Ewen went out for 15mins to drop some things at friends. We were alone and vulnerable when that Bengal cat strolled past the window. It takes the mickey out of us. We tried to get at it. We jumped on the curtains and the whole rail and caboodle came down. They weren't impressed. Fortunately we got it back up. Well they did. We hid in the bedroom until it was back up and it was safe to come out. One day that cat is going to get chased.
