HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Mabel: We are a bit late posting this but our lives have been busy. First of all we had visitors staying for a week. I got very confused because Linda sounds exactly like Pam and I was never sure what I should do. New Year's day we didn't go down to the hunt because it was really wet and no-one wanted to go out in that!!! After Linda and Ken left we went to a big house outside St Andrew's. We stayed four days. Lots of places to run about in and we got to go to the beach. Loved it.

Chased lots of dogs who were thrilled to meet me. When we got home we were all very tired and then Morris and I had to go for hydro. Well Morris did. Katie thought it would be better if I had laser treatment on my paw and shouder. IT WAS MAGNIFICENT. Like a hot stone massage Pam said. I just slept. So relaxing. Was warmer than hydro too.

Morris : St Andrew's beach was great fun but she was a bit of an embarrassment. The dogs may have been thrilled to meet her but a lot of the owners got a fright as this orange and yellow clad dog hurtled, at great speed, towards their beloved pooch.

Then she'd go in to play mode and then hurtle back to us. They didn't know what had happened. Mabel has also shown she has a particular liking for black Labradors???????? And then there is the pleasure of getting home and getting back to home comforts.

Going away is an adventure but coming home is luxury!! Hydro was okay but I was still tired after four days of humans partying.

But then, while I lay damp in my microfibre coat, she was getting a massage from Katie!? Very envious. I love Katie's massages but a laser massage is so warm and tingly and relaxing!! Hrrumph.
