Magnus 30th December

Merry Christmas everyone.  Thought we'd better catch up with our blog before 2018!!  Well! It has been a great time.  Amazing food over Christmas.  Turkey, lamb and goose.  I liked goose but it didn't like me.  Made me a bit sick.  Pam said it was too rich and I probably couldn't digest it.  I had no problems with our presents.  We got a box of special ham and pate rolls and a box of festive sausages.  They seem to keep replenishing which makes me very happy.  We also have snow.  The weather has been very odd.  First it's -10C then it's nearly + 10C.  Then it's raining and then it's freezing.  But now we have snow and that makes me happy too.  There is nothing better than being out in the snow and then coming back to a cosy house.  The joys of wiping snowballs off our paws on to the carpet.  Rolling our snowy bodies on Pam and Ewen's bed.  Don't know why they get upset?

I have to agree with Big Boy about having had a lovely time and about the food.  Fortunately for me, the goose didn't upset me so I got some extra.  We were also given lovely furry rugs for our beds.  They are really soft and very nice but they do get a bit warm.  I like to lie on mine while the snow melts off my paws and then roll it out off my way.  I do like my new bed.  Magnus will not get in it.  It is my space.  It is mine.  Sometimes I lie on his bed just to annoy him!  Went for a long walk with a lovely young chap the other day.  Murphy.  A black labradoodle pup.  Lovely curly hair.  He's a bit young I suppose, only 8 months old, but we had a lovely play.  I got a telling off from Pam because I twerked him a few times.  It didn't have the same effect on him as it did on Harry but he still seemed to have fun.  Happy days.

Magnus11th December

Been a tad busy here.  Decorations are up and Christmas shopping is done.  We decided not to give each other presents this year .(Mirren wasn't too happy!)  Instead we went away for a long weekend to Roman camp, in Callander.  It was fabulous.  I had sausages every morning AND I got to play in snow in Glen Coe.  We went a walk along one of my favourite places, Glen Etive.  The snow was brilliant.  I played and chased Ewen in the snow and posed for photographs.  I like snow now.  I wasn't so sure about it when I was a puppy.  It made my tummy and paws cold.  Our friends Shona and Douglas came too.  They gave us a Christmas present so things really looked up.

I wasn't going in the snow.  I stayed on what seemed to be the road.  It was cold and slushy.  That was bad enough.  There was no way I was putting a paw in snow.  The walk was fine but I don't really like being too cold.  But then I'm a fireside kind of girl.  We had our tweed coats on.  Big Boy's was very loose and mine was a teeny weeny bit tight. The hotel was lovely.  We get a room called Dimity.  It's got a door into the gardens so it's very handy at three in the morning.  There's plenty of room in the sitting room for Magnus's and my beds.  I love the hotel.  The rooms, the food, the gardens down to the river.  Shona and Douglas gave us really cool toys so that made up for the no Christmas presents thing.  Think I'll steal Magnus's and claim it too!
