Magnus Tuesday 7th July

Humph.  Been a bit rough here.  First all there was a pet show on in Lauder.  I had to get brushed.  Ewen did Mirren first.  She seemed to quite like it.  A visit to the hairdresser is more of a girlie thing.  I try and avoid it. But I was caught and brushed.  Surprisingly I found it quite pleasant even though I look a bit fluffy when done.  Then it rained and the pet show was cancelled.  It's been rescheduled.  Must remember the date so I can avoid the brushing again.
Second, my tum has been a bit off.  I wasn't hungry yesterday.  Pam and Ewen kept coming to check on me.  Don't think it was anything I ate.

Time for a SHARP exit...........

Mirren Tuesday 7th July

I actually like getting brushed.  I don't want Pam and Ewen to know though in case it becomes more of a regular thing, but it is quite enjoyable.  It means i get cuddled by Ewen.  I, of course, looked divine.  I was most upset when it was cancelled.  I had on my best collar.  Doubt if Big Boy will remember the new date, August 22nd.  He's got a brain like a sieve.

And yes his tummy was off, and yes we all suffered.  He was very smelly.  I moved rooms to sleep.  He kept the Two Legs up all night checking on him.  Seems to be okay today.  Eating, drinking, peeing, farting.  Normal.

I am so happy.  Pam has found these Wainwright's biscuits for dogs.  One lot are turkey and rice and the other is salmon.  And I can eat them.  It's great.  The have no grain so my tummy is fine.  I get to eat a biscuit now.  They are lovely and crunchy.  Pam says I have been deprived since I haven't had treats apart from ham and some of her gluten free stuff.  I am very, very happy.  She even brought some on our walk in case we were peckish.  JOY!

Mirren 30th June

I have to admit my own appreciation of these little biscuit snacks.  Since Big Boy has a coeliac problem Pam and Ewen are very careful about what he eats.  Unfortunately, because he is such a hoover, I don't get access to many treats unless Pam slips me something on the side.  Big Boy would be right in there, pushing me out of the way, and grabbing whatever was going.  We would all suffer for the rest of the evening as he farted his wind away.  It's really not acceptable.
On the other hand, because we don't get many doggie treats, I have magnificent teeth.  White, clean, fabulous.  Rather like me.
Magnus has no front teeth.  They are almost non existent.  His back teeth are huge, but tiny, little, baby, front teeth.  I take the mickey out of him regularly about them.  Pam and Ewen call him Toothless, after a dragon in an animated film.  It's a big, toothless, owner-adoring beast too, apparently.

Magnus Monday22nd June

It's all very busy here.  Gardening, washing tidying.  Don't know where to lie down without being hoovered or washed.  It's all very scary.  Ewen is getting up earlier to take us long walks in the morning before it gets warm!!!  Ha ha that's a laugh.  I still have my winter coat on.

Mirren Monday 22nd June

He's right, it is busy.  I just keep out of the way.  I find Pam doesn't wash a couch so I just make myself comfortable on one of them.  I even chanced by paws on the good couches which are usually forbidden but there were covers on and she didn't seem to mind.  I don't think big boy is brave enough to try.  It means I get full control and comfort.  Splendid.

Magnus Tuesday 9th June
It's been odd here.  Pam was away so Ewen took us for great walks.  Mirren was in the huff because she's the only girl when Pam's away.  We were at Goswick for the sunrise on Sunday.  Me on a beach. Happy days, paddling up to my tummy in the sea.  Ewen says I might be doing this more often soon??  Mirren has been telling me we are moving.  We go on holidays to places quite often but she says this is for good!! I'll miss my big window.  As long as we have the Two Legs, beds, couches and ham I'm happy.
And no slippy floors.






Mirren Tuesday 9th June
It really is rather negligent behaviour on Pam's part.  First of all she goes to Spain, for 5 days, for a funeral......and doesn't do our Blog. Then last week she was so wrapped up in doing housework she forgot again.  I don't know.  No responsibility at all.  She knows we can't do this on our own.
It's all rather busy here.  Apparently, they are selling this kennel and hoping to move somewhere else.  Somewhere warmer for Pam.  Spain has been mentioned.  Better get on with learning the language.  I'll have to do it.  Big Boy will just get hot and pant.  Adios.

Walk along the "River Tweed"

Magnus 19th May

We had a fabulous walk yesterday along the Leader and Tweed before it started pouring again.  I was very brave and crossed a bit I was too scared to go over before.  I paddled and ran everywhere.  I was very tired by the time we finished.  Mirren had a run in with a tree rabbit.  She lost.  Ha ha! She wasn't very happy.

Mirren 19th May

Pam came on walks with us again.  It was lovely.  The sun shone for a while and we had a lovely walk.  Yes I chased a squirrel.  Magnus hasn't leaned they're not rabbits.  He joined in too but he's too slow.  The squirrel won.  Not impressed.  It was a lovely walk and I am still a wee bit tired.  I had to have a drink when I got back to the mobile kennel.  I don't like drinking out of rivers and streams.  I like to know where my water has come from.  You never know what goes on in water.  I'm not too happy of my picture with my tongue out but it is nice and pink and I don't want to be too much of a diva.

Tuesday 12th May  Magnus

Going on lovely long walks.  Pam came too yesterday.  Made Ewen go even further.  Mirren was given a row.  Nah nah nanah! She has thing thing about grazing on horse poo.  Never felt the need myself.  I must admit I felt a tad tired and when I got home I just slept.  Great.

Tuesday 12th May Mirren

It's not very warm for May.  I'm giving up checking the forecast.  It keeps saying things like, "Saturday is going to be a scorcher"  Saturday turns out to be cold, wet and windy.  My hair is a shambles.  Ewen wants to brush me but I won't let him.  I need a gentler touch. Good to have Pam on a walk again.  We went for a really long walk yesterday.  I like it when she comes on walks.  She keeps stopping to give us a cuddle.  I did get a row yesterday though.  I found some nice, fresh horse dung and was about to tuck in when I was issued with a stern, "No!'  Not sure why?

Magnus May 7th, Thursday.
Sorry folks. A horrible week.  Weather just rotten.  Had to get towel dried umpteen times.  Very pleasant in fact.  A good body rub is just what I like.

Mirren May 7th
Not impressed by the two legs.  They forgot our Blog.  Not on.  The weather has been so nasty we've not gone out for long walks, so they have had plenty of time. Anyway, wet weather makes me curly.  I do not suit curls.  The towel rubbing gives me dreadlocks. Ho hum.  Election day.  Not that Big Boy would know.  As long as he gets his food he cares not a jot who gets elected.  Maybe they'll bring back the dog licence? Make people take responsibility for us. Who knows?
