PARTY TIME!

Mabel: It was our birthday party at the weekend. We were missing Mum and Marla this year cause Keith isn't well but Bran was back. It was lovely to see all the humans as well as the brothers. I was the only girl there. I really like Simon. He's a pal of Mac's. We just played all day. We're the fastest so we just ran everyone else of their paws. I did get hurt on the nose, no fault of mine, but it did sting for a while. Mac has recently lost three toes and someone stood on his back paw. It wasn't me but I was lying near Simon and was the nearest, when he lashed out. Even Norman has had an op on his paw to cut a ligament to stop his corns. I liked Simon. He was kind.

Morris : Grief, I had to run about protecting her ALL day. At least I had no distractions this year because I usually try to snuggle up to Mum, Doris and Sis, Marla but they couldn't make it. Us boys all did the "I'm the Big Man" thing for a while but settled down quite quickly. The humans seemed to have a good time too and spent a lot of the time eating. It rained a lot, which didn't bother us, but it irritated them. Then Jenny (hostess) brought out our birthday cake. It's REALLY good. We chomped our way through that pretty quickly. Jenny and Angus have us every year, which is so nice. Norman, their dog, and my brother, is a pretty laid back kinda guy. Bran is bigger then me but I think he's all hair. He's a surfer dude. Goes paddle boarding. Very cool. Mac and Simon are from the New Forest. Simon isn't one of the family but he looks like us. He's Mabel's new beau. At least he's not a labrador or a spaniel........
