Mirren 26th August

Feeling a bit deserted.  They've been out a lot since Friday.  I don't know??? It's just as well I'm an easy-going lady and am quite happy to just chill out in my bed.  I mean, if they are going to go out and think it's fine to be leaving me, they can't expect me to have any house guarding activities.  I'm just not doing it.  They either take me with them or, tough, don't expect me to growl (although I do have lovely teeth) or bark at any intruders!!!!

Mirren 22nd August

Mum's back at work but that is the least of my worries.  Ewen has really fallen for this hill walking business.  He got me out my bed at 4am to climb the Eildons!!!!!!  It was okay.  But it was a wee bit chilly and misty.  Had a bit of a picnic which helped of course.I was glad to see my bed again.  Warm, cosy and comfy.  Slept all day.  My legs were in shock.

Mirren 15th August

It is getting very cold here.  And it's getting dark earlier and earlier.  Ewen has been away.  He has been climbing the In Pinn, the Inaccessible Pinnacle, Sgurr Dearg in Skye.  It is his first Munro and apparently he has done the hardest first.  While he has been doing that Pam and I have been very busy.  We have kept the house tidy by lying around and, in Pam's case reading.  It's very quiet.  How do the male of the species make things untidy much quicker than the female?  For three days now the house has been immaculate.  Nothing out of place or left lying around.  Pam says that'll change in thirty seconds when Ewen gets home!

Mirren 6th August

Well, looks as if summer is over.  Rain, rain, rain and my coat is curly.  We've also had some thunder.  I hate thunder.  I'm allowed to climb on the bed and get cuddled in but I get really hot.  Then a wet t-towel is put over my ears and neck.  I don't know why I'm so scared now.  I never used to be.  And Pam reminded me that August 12th is approaching so that will be very early and very late walks for me because the guns scare me so much.  On a brighter note.....Lauder Common Riding got amazing weather and it was a great week, as usual.  Pam dressed up as a Fireperson!!!  I just stayed in the house, with the fan on and chilled.  Too hot outside for doggies.
