Survived the end of the Mayan calendar!

While L & C were away it was C's birthday, which fell on the last day of the Mayan calendar.  There were some predictions that the world might end on that day, but phew it didn't (who would feed me, walk me etc?!)

Two days left!!!!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

I have had a pawtastic Christmas.  L and C went to Mexico for Christmas (ok for some I guess!) and I went to stay with L & J and my new best doggy friend Tara. 

Tara and I have only met a few times, but how it works is....we bundle each other...then we bundle each other some more...and then some more.  This can go on for quite some time.  Tara's best trick is to get me by the jowls, but I just keep spinning around until she has to let go...then a quick break and off we go again.  Anyway I had a great time and we went swimming most days, but just going outside for a walk meant getting wet as it poured and poured with rain.

Anyway, like I said L & C went off to sunny climes to celebrate C's birthday and Christmas.  They had a great time visiting places such as Chichen Itza, Tulum, Playa del Carmen and Xcaret eco park.  I did hear that L snorkelled into the wall while swimming along the underground cave in the dark at Xcaret, whoops-a-daisy!

I have kindly agreed to post some of their photos here:

That beach looks perfect for rolling on...

Fresh drinking water? Pah!

Who needs fresh drinking water when I have this available?!

 

This was after I had been a little bit naughty and ran across a road, ripped open a bin bag in someone's front garden and taken a fish and chip packet into the middle of the road to eat the contents.  I got a vibe from L that I was in the dog house...

Incy Wincy spider has been very busy

It looks like Incy Wincy spider has been very busy up on the farmers fields where I go walkies. 
Check out these webs on the crops:

Like a gift from heaven

L took me out for a very muddy walk and after saying hello to some local woofs, some doodle dashing and some bog snorkelling in puddles we headed home.  We got half way down the very muddy footpath when I smelt something delicious and stuck my face into the undergrowth.  And out I came with a dearly departed pigeon in my mouth!!!  It was my lucky day!


















Now, I was on the lead (horrible contraption that I hate) so L tired to prise my jaw open, but the harder she tried the more I bit down on my prize.  In the end she had to give up and I ate the whole thing in front of her (there was a lot of bone crunching and some juices splashed on L's coat, but I thought it was delicious!)

When we got home I went to bed for a bit and had a bit of belly ache (I am not used to such a feast, feathers and all) so I rested in my bed for most of the evening.  So really it was win win all round as I loved my snack and L got a peaceful evening. 

Strictly Cow Dancing!

I have come up with a new game show called 'Strictly Cow Dancing!'



















Here is how it works:

Week One - the PASA DOBLE

Step 1: find a herd of cows
Step 2: run over to the herd of cows and choose your dancing partner
Step 3: start by taking a bow in front of your partner (they may or may not copy you, usually not)
Step 4: now run back and forth in front of your partner in a mad doodle dash, keeping eye contact with them at all times
Step 5: when the cow trots away run after them
Step 6: end the dance by shunning the cow in a dramatic manner by running back to your owner (who for some reason is frantically waving a ball in the air and calling your name)

Next week the SAMBA.....

Brrrr...it is getting cold out there

Since the clocks have changed (which I took no notice of whatsoever and I just got up an hour earlier) it has been getting quite chilly.

The other evening I was keeping L & C company on the sofa and my tootsies were a bit chilly, but I soon found a solution.....looking good don't you think?!
