My friend Heathcliff came to stay one evening. At the time I was very happy. It was wonderful to have some civilized company for a change. The only problem is that was a few months ago and he is still here! I wouldn’t mind so much if he didn’t act like he owns the place.Continue reading “Brothers”

Bedtime
Last evening was different. I was not impressed. Usually Joanna opens the back doors for me so I can have a run in the garden before bed, and once I am in my cage she gives me a treat and says goodnight. Last night however, when I came inside, Himself and Herself were having aContinue reading “Bedtime”
Swimming
Joanna took me to Knaresborough today. It is a very nice town. I particularly enjoy the River Nidd. I dropped my ball in the river. That happens a lot. It is one of my favorite games. I drop my ball in and watch the current take it down river. Then I jump in and grabContinue reading “Swimming”
Re-Fueling
I thought we were going home? Why have we stopped here and why am I still inside the car? I don’t like that smell. It is an awful metallic smell. I think I heard Joanna refer to it as petrol or was it diesel? Joanna is getting out. She has locked the door. But I’mContinue reading “Re-Fueling”
My Family
The Matriarch of our family is Herself. She is the one who usually plays with me after my morning walk. She is alright I suppose. Not particularly fast on her feet. Her favorite game is “Don’t eat my garden!” She loves it. She always does a fine job at bushing my coat and is greatContinue reading “My Family”
Rosie
My favorite person has arrived. She is my height. I love playing with her, but she does have some strange ideas. The first time she came to play we had a lovely time in the garden playing fetch. She is improving. Or so I thought. She picked up the ball as though she was goingContinue reading “Rosie”
Wind
Today me and my pals thought we would have some fun. Not entirely certain as to why. There was something in the air. It was traveling fast and making a rumbling sound. I just wanted to run and run. There was so much to do. Firstly the squirrels were out and I just had toContinue reading “Wind”
Leaving the House
What’s going on? He has a coat on. He never wears a coat. He went to his shed, but didn’t wait for me. He had not given me my breakfast or even greeted me. How could he not notice me? He is picking up a bag. That is not the one they bring on myContinue reading “Leaving the House”
Hanging the Washing
Joanna shut me out again. The audacity. Then, then she went outside with a whole basket of wet clothes. My favorite thing no less. She knows how much I love taking clothes straight out of the washing machine. They have such an interesting smell. She often leaves them dangling in the garden for me. AllContinue reading “Hanging the Washing”
Socks
I love socks. They smell so good, and they are so easy to find. There is the big, oh what do they call it? Laundry bucket. Yes that is it. The laundry bucket. I do not think much of the name, but I do approve of what can be found inside. Everything smells so nice.Continue reading “Socks”
