Magnus and Mirren Sunday 17th August

Magnus
A very varied and exciting week.  Pam has been away again which let me get comfy wumphy next to Ewen on the bed.  Slept like a puppy.  Had a bit of a time at the vet too.  My tummy has been off again and Ewen took Mirren and I to the vet.  I GAVE BLOOD.  I am officially a blood donor.  I am so proud.   I think I should have sticker.  "I was brave at the vet today" or " I didn't pass out at the vet today."  Something like that.  I did have a problem with the floor.  Couldn't get my feet straight.  Mirren was a bit of a slapper and flirted outrageously with Colin, one of the vets.  Feel I 've done something for the dog race.  Dog Blood Donor.  WOW!! Wonder how the doggie is that got mine??  

Mirren
Yes, Pam has been away AGAIN and big boy got the bed first.  Pam ordered us new collars though.  Mine is beautiful.  Californian poppies.  Really suits my colouring.  His is nice too.  They came from a special lady in England who makes collars for doggies like Magnus and I - long neck in my case, big neck in his.

Anyway, Magnus's tummy was off so Ewen took us to the vet.  OOOOOOh. He is lovely.  I just adore Colin the Vet.  Ewen gave me a row for flirting.  Magnus got a row from the vet nurse for walking on his tipclaws in the surgery.  Silly boy nearly Bambi-ed on the lino.  He should just have put his paws firmly on the ground.  They're big enough after all.  He'd be fine.  I had my eye checked out again (bit of a rash) and my hip.  Pam and Ewen were worried it was hip dysplasia.  It's not.  Might be I bruised my elbow when I was a puppy and it's gone bit stiff.  Magnus has plaque.  Ha-ha.  That's probably upsetting his tummy.  All that bacteria.  It'll serve him right for poor mouth hygiene.  The main story is that when we were both out for the count, we both gave blood to a poor dog who wasn't well.  I am so proud.  Colin saw me be brave.  Okay I was unconscious at the time, but I was generous and gave freely.  It should be in the papers you know.  Humans get rewards for giving blood.  I didn't even get a bone.  Or a cup of tea and a biscuit.  Cheapskates!!!
Pam's home.  Relief.  The kitchen flooded when she was away.  We were at the vet.  I don't know why she goes away.  Things just happen when she's not around!!!

Magnus August 6th

It's raining again.  Great.  Don't like it too hot.  I have to pant a lot.  Not been a great few days for me.  My tummy has been off and I've trouble with wind.  Personally it doesn't bother me that much but it seems to upset others.  I must have eaten something I shouldn't have.  Been on rations for a few days now.  Anyway, a lot better.  Hopefully I'll get some ham again soon. Mean time we just sleep in comfort !!!!
It was a busy week for Pam and Ewen last week.  Lauder Common Riding.  Lots of horses going about the town.  I was in the Fancy Dress competition one year.  Won first prize.  I looked very handsome apparently.  We have pictures to prove it.





Mirren August 6th

Thank goodness for rain.  I just keep out of the sun.  It really isn't good for our skin and I just get too hot.  I stay in now.  Magnus goes out and lies beside Ewen.  Twit!

Wind??? That's a joke.  I had to get out of my bed and move the smell was so bad.  Pam says I have to be nice.  He has colitis.  But he could at least go somewhere away from us to pass wind.  It really is the most awful smell.  Pam and Ewen burn candles when it's bad.  He has to take pills and live on rice, eggs and fish for a few days.  That'll teach him to mooch food.  He's meant to be a special diet but he scrounges bits of everybody and they don't know about his "sensitive tummy".  Attention seeking behaviour again, I think.
AND IF I HEAR ABOUT WINNING THAT FANCY DRESS ONCE MORE I WILL EAT HIS PRIZE CUP!!
