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?
Mirren 30th December
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.
Mirren 11th December
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!

We are creeping closer and closer to Christmas. We had lots of treats last weekend. Not from the table, of course, but there was rather a lot of chicken, turkey, lamb and duck left over from an early Xmas dinner with Linda and Ken.
These people like their meat!! Don't know what I want from Santa this year, food always goes down well.
Mirren is liking her torch now. She scared a whole bunch of squirrels the other morning. Had them running all over the place. She just can't grasp the running up tree bit though.
Mirren 27th November
I'm loving the lamp. It really is fun frightening the tree rabbits. I don't actually want to catch them. It's so much more fun just chasing them. Keeps me fit.
Loving the bed. Getting really comfy in "My Bed". Pam has been whispering about getting me a furry lining for it, from Santa. What more could a girl want on a cold winter evening other then a fur to wrap herself in. (fake, of course)
Looking forward to Christmas, the food last weekend was truly scrumptious, it's jogged my memory.

Magnus 22nd November
Sorry, been a bit busy again. Feeling better once the pills were stopped. Those steroid things made me pee in the house. IN FRONT OF GUESTS. Mortified. Pam's sister, Linda, cuddled and brushed me till I felt better. This rain is irritating. Pam has bought Mirren a lamp too. She's running about pretending she's Iron Man II. My lamp is MUCH bigger!!!
Mirren 22nd November
Big Boy pee-ed his bed!!! Felt sorry for him. He couldn't help it.
Yes, I have a lamp too. I am very proud. It's like a brilliant necklace. Very bling. Definitely NOT Iron Man II. I'm a girl for goodness sake.
I also have a new bed. Magnus is scared of the memory foam so I've nobbled it. It's fabulous. I love it. It is MINE!

Magnus 14th November
Who needs Colin. I've just met Victoria. WOW! She can tickle my neck any day. Have a bit of a sore throat so had to go back to the vet. Haven't lost any more weight. Trotted in and there she was. She was so nice to me. Laughing and gentle and she kept cuddling me. I can cope with the vet if it's going to be like this. Then, bonus, Pam's read that lamb mince is good for upset tummies. Can you believe it. Lamb for tea. What with Victoria and lamb I've had a great day.
Mirren 14th November
Colin is off work. Something to do with mashed potatoes, Burn's Night and a shoulder. It's just not the same. Magnus was all loved up and happy when he met Victoria but I miss Colin. Have to agree about the lamb though. His upset tummy isn't doing my diet any good. At my age I think I'll just get older and chubbier and enjoy the good life.

Magnus 6th November
Well, just survived Bonfire Night. Lots of bangs for three nights. Didn't like it at all. Was sick on Saturday. Mirren couldn't stop shaking. She even let herself be brushed, to take her mind of the noises. Stress!!
On the other hand I have become "Iron Dog." It's so dark in the mornings I'm wearing my torch. Pam says it makes me look like Iron Man's dog. I have to be brave when I wear it. Maybe they will make a Marvel comic around me? Still eating a lot of new food. I hope I can put some weight back on.
Mirren 6th November
Personally, I don't see what all the fuss is about on the 5th. So, some one tried to blow up a Scottish King and his parliament and failed. Why do we re-enact the non blowing up. What happened to "Penny for the guy?" Why do people have to have fireworks so many nights? We had a big town bonfire on Saturday but we still had people having fireworks parties on Friday and Sunday. I think they are just showing off. Mind you, at least it was a weekend! One year the 5th fell mid week and we had fireworks for about ten days.
Not commenting on "Iron Dog." He'll just get big headed.

Magnus 31st October
Oooooooo! It's Hallowe'en. All these people ring the doorbell and ask for stuff. I wish I could do that! Anyway, getting fed a lot, which I am loving. Also, have acquired a new fashion item. A lamp.
Pam and Ewen think I look like Iron Dog. I have an LED light round my neck so Ewen can see me on these dark mornings. I like to wander and sniff and it helps Ewen keep an eye on me. It helps me see where I'm going too , which I secretly love but don't tell Mirren.
Mirren 31st October
All this Hallowe'en stuff? I don't get it. I just don't get off the couch. Why do people allow there children to dress up, go outside in freezing weather, and ask strangers for stuff that will make their teeth fall out? I wouldn't let any pup of mine do that. Good teeth are so important. Poor Big Boy hasn't got beautiful teeth, like me. As to the light...I don't need one. I stay close to Ewen in the morning. Well apart from when these tree rabbit things start to taunt me. They wave their tails to attract my attention and then run up trees. Not fair at all.
PS He actually looks really cool with the light. Don't tell him that though.
