HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY

Morris : I had the most amazing dayout on Saturday. I got to meet my mum, my sister and two of my brothers. We ran and played and paddled and chased each other and we had cake and it was delicious and we all got wet and it was just brilliant. I had finished my antibiotics and was feeling much better which was ace. I've slept really well on Sunday though. All that running about. Norman's parents were really nice and let us run about all over the garden. They've built a big pond for Norman cause he likes swimming. They'd made a really great cake too. I got two pieces. MacTavish wasn't allowed to run about too much cause he'd hurt his cruciate but Marla and Norman kept me busy. It was really great to see my mum Doris.

Mabel : Well that was a bit of a let down. I only got to say hello to everyone and then was whisked off, back to the car, pants on. Morris got to run around. I did get cake though and Keith and Muriel, who helped bring me into the world, came over to say hello. Unfortunately, it rained most of the day. And that was where I won out. I sat, in glorious luxury and warmth, in the back of the car, whereas, they were out in the rain. I do wish this season thing was over it really is antisocial. The weather has also changed. It's now very wet and cold.

OUR MUM!! XXX

IT'S A TAD HOT!!

Mabel : Pants back on. I don't know what's going on? And then, my big brother, Morris is not well. He's been very iffy this past week. We've both been at the vet. Me, to find out if I've had a season and Morris who has just been very down. I miss my bouncing brother and I have no one to play with or beat up. It is not very satisfactory. The Pam's sister and brother-in law came up, Linda and Ken. They were very nice to us. Ken even puppy sat on Monday for about 5 hours. It is very, very warm and we are not allowed outside. Morris : I just feel awful. I eat, drink, sleep and pee and poo but I'm just not really bothered. I have big, pink pills to take and they make me feel a bit sleepy. The hot, close weather isn't helping either. Pam and Ewen don't know if my lethargy is caused by the heat, by Mabel's season or the pills. I had bloods done on Saturday and I showed slight signs of an infection. I wonder what I could have eaten???

CHANGES.

Mabel:It's been an eventfull time for me. I am now a big girl and have being wearing shorts. I have been allowed breakfast on the couch! Morris has been very kind. He's given my face some licks but other than that he has been a total gentleman. Luther, on the other hand got very excited to see me!.

Morris : I just want to let her know I'll look after her. We had great fun in some long grass. She'd hide and I'd hunt for her and then the other way round. We were both knackered when we got home. The weather has bben really warm. Mabel stays inside. I like to lie out but then Pam and Ewen tell me to get back in the house because I'm panting so much!

SUMMER???

Mabel and Morris: Really, there is not much to tell. Been for lovely walks, eaten well and been very cuddly.

We are nearly one now and we can't wait to meet up with our doggie siblings and doggie Mum, Doris!!

KEYS AND CUDDLES.

Mabel : The weather has been quite pleasant and we've had to be walked early and late because neither of us like too much sun. We are Scottish dogs and aren't bred for hot weather! Morris does like a wee bit sunbathing outside if there is a breeze but is strangely, is also quite happy to burn his testicles sunbathing at the window.

I prefer to have a cooler position, say on the golf course.

We've also been getting on much better with each other. Can even have a cuddle. The muzzles have helped. Also, Pam and Ewen now trust us a wee bit more so we get more space to chill in when they have to leave us. Mind you Morris doesn't help by eating the spar of the chair AGAIN and he's got a thing about fence post toppers. Boy really has eating issues.

Morris : I have no idea what she means. I just like to keep my mouth busy as it stops me nipping her. Had an interestng encounter with Ewen's camera thingy. He took a really nice picture of me and then I thought I'd move in closer for a better look. Quite impressed with myself. Handsome young chap!!!

We both had to help Ewen this morning. He lost Pam's car keys. She was surprisingly, unfazed and joined up to search. Of course she found them. We are both very pleased because Pam's car is our mobile kennel and we get to stick our heads out the windows.

MUZZLED!!

Mabel : We have a great time recently just running about. We've been at the beach a lot and that's brilliant. I can run a lot faster than Morris and he gets really, REALLY annoyed. He was very fed up when I had to show him how to run up a sand hill.

Anyway, Pam and Ewen bought him a muzzle, because when I was running he would try and take me down. Not very nice and he did pinch me once, but it is what we do.

Morris : They bought her a muzzle too because she can get a bit rough as well. As to climbing sand hills..... I can do that too.

I was very tired and apparently left my mark on the hall carpet. I was very relaxed in that position for some time!!!

We are also getting very good at going out golfing with Ewen and knowing what to do.

MIRREN

It is a year today since we lost Mirren. She, like all the others, is still in our hearts and much missed. Here she is is, our easter Bunny, dreamimg about bunnies!!
