Mud, pink wellies and terriers!

I had a great day yesterday. It was L's birthday so they dropped me off at CG's for doggy daycare. Didi and I and a couple of other dogs went for a long and gloriously muddy walk on the South Downs.

I then spotted a pink wellie just lying on the ground (well it was next to a little girl), so I thought I'd pick it up and take it for a run. All was going well until CG got a ball out of her bag, which was much more tempting than the wellie so I dropped it and chased the ball. People really need to be more careful not to leave things lying around for anyone to pick up!

Back at the house Didi and I had a rest (well Didi did and I followed CG around) and then the door bell rang and it was Lucky the border terrier coming to stay. I was so excited. We then spent the next hour bundling each other up and down the kitchen. Bliss!

L and C arrived and spoiled my fun, but said I would see Lucky again today for a walk. See you soon buddy!

I'm the biggest loser!

Seven months ago I weighed in at 35 kgs and had a good layer of puppy fat. But after lots of running around and doodle dashing I am very proud to announce I am now a sleek 28 kgs. L and C are very pleased and I have even had my food upped a bit so I stay at this weight.

The fortnightly weigh ins are fun. Well they are fun for me. I am weighed on the wii fit plus board and poor C has to lift me up and then step on the board. Though it must help that I am lighter than I was!

Let's dance!

L & C took me on a doodle meet on Sunday and it was mudalicious!

There were loads of doodle there, plus a couple of non-doods came along for a run. Within 2 minutes we had all found lots of muddy puddles and Archie and Dexter were soon brown, rather than cream, doodles.

We stopped for a paddle at the pond. I had a quick dip, but Henry had a good swim around and then had to be coaxed back to dry land after he stopped on a submerged log for a rest.

It was great to see my brother Finn and sister Tilly, as always. But I especially enjoyed seeing Archie as it has been a while (since he went to the vets for the 'you know what' operation). Archie was obviously a bit tired as he wanted me to give him a 'piggy back' some of the way and we had an excellent play fight.

I was worn out on Sunday night and had pleasant dreams of running full pelt through muddy puddles - my favourite past time!

Happy New Year!

Medallion dog!


I have had a brilliant Christmas and New Year. I visited C's folks in Southampton for Christmas, but they kept me away from the homemade mince pies, sausage rolls and Christmas cake, so not fair! We went for some walks down at Netley and saw lots of other dogs on Christmas day strolls.

For New Year we headed to L's folks and that meant lots of walks along the sandy beach. There are so many good smells to check out. On the first visit I found the wing of a pigeon which I quickly devoured and on the next a bit of fish which was lovely and crunchy.

Check out my photos below...

The chase is on

Got ya!

Thank You Secret Santa!

Secret Santa (organised through Doodle Times) sent me a brilliant present - a skinneeez! It is in the shape of a fox and has no stuffing in it, but it does have two squeekers which send me mad!

Thank you Secret Santa!

Merry Christmas!

From me...

And Bingo and Elvis...


Nothing from the cat I'm afraid as she is asleep as usual!

Snow sends me doodle-lally!

Recently there has been all this brilliant white stuff falling from the sky. I love it! Rolling in it is great fun and C makes it into a ball and I try to catch it (though for some reason it sort of disapears?!)
