Mummy's hooked to da Bodka Dwip tonight!

Mummy went out with her friends tonight. I was just checking my facebook page cos I was expecting a message from my good friend Brad Pitt and there she was all over the place, being tagged with this person and that person with her stoopid Santa hat with the pigtails on! I am SO mortified! I will have to take her aside and talk to her about her behaviour. Seriously, it's not on.

I got a Christmassy card in the post!

Pupsies - I am so excited! The postman just came and there was a Christmas card addressed 'specially for me, Cleo, all the way from Topeka in the United States 'cross the 'lantic ocean!!!! It's from my lovely buddies Kenny and Dooli - thank you guys!

Mummy says to tell Kenny, Dooli, Scooter, Misty, Cutter, Pepper and Zaidie that all your cards went in the post yesterday evening so you should all (hopefully) get them before Santa Paws arrives! Mummy had to get some special stamps for your cards to fly 'cross the 'lantic or sumfin.

Anyway, I am SOOOOO excited! My very own card! Usually the only post I get addressed to me is from my vet reminding me I need to get my yucky injectiolins done!

Stoopid photo!

Do any other pupsies have to put up with this nonsense??? This evening, Mummy went into town and bought stoopid Santa hats for the two of us. At least hers is normal, mine has a big Santa stuck on the front! Anyway she sat us both down in front of the Christmas tree and started taking photographs of the two of us. Needless to say, I am not very happy! So I put on my best pissed off face. Mummy thinks I look like a gangsta rapper or sumfin. Mummy! Don't you DARE put any photos on that interweb thingy! Specially on that book of faces you're addicted to, an' 'specially not my Dogster profile!!!!

I made the nice list! OFFICIALLY from Santa!

Mummy says she got a text message or e-mail or sumfin directly from Mr Claus himself! And I'm OFFICIALLY on the nice list this year! Phew! I've been so worried that Santa might not bring me another doggie Christmas stocking with my favoutite choc drops an' squeaky toy an' cranberry treats or sumfin' else Christmassy!

Mummy says this early confirmation is because of my dual guard dog duties in both my own house (sorry Mummy, our house) and my holiday home (sorry Nana and Granddad, your house) where I alternate my work duties as required depending on Mummy having to go to that foreign country that is England and stuff. I have been soooooooo busy having to do barking duties around two gardens and also having to accept belly rubs and back rubs and ear tickles in TWO houses! Sheesh! These hoomans really like us to roll over and get our bellies rubbed, don't we? I reckon the extra belly rubbling duties deserve at least an additional pack of choc drops, don't you?

As usual, there are conditions. In order to maintain my Nice List status, I have to maintain my good behaviour (turns over on her back. Mummy, where are you? Can you rub my tummy please?)

My Mummy is back!!!

My Mummy went off on a plane thing to that England place last Wednesday and came back on Friday, then she left me with Nana and Granddad AGAIN Sunday and she only got back after midnight! I wasn't expecting' her at all, I thought I was just going to bed. Then she arrived and I licked all her face an' stuff. We're back at our house and just going to our beddie byes but it's nearly 2am and Mummy is still up. Is this normal? She had the wine Dwip in and she ain't getting up early cos she got home so late. Fair enough I s'pose. She's off to bed soon and I'm looking forward to snuggles!!!

I was on a mini break!

Mummy went off to England on Wednesday morning and came back earlier so she dropped me over to Nana and Granddad's where I stayed 3 nights! I had a pawsome time! Lots of walkies and belly rubs and kisses and stuff.

Mummy always packs my Spongebob Squarepants rucksack with everything I need for my mini breaks. Little treats and my Choc drops and other basic provisions. And a cooked chicken in the local store on the way over.

Anyway, Mummy collected me earlier and now I'm at home snoozing under our Christmas tree. I had to have a snooze earlier on Mummy's bed to recouperate after all my guard dog duties in Nana and Granddad's.

Life is tough (turns over on her snuggly blankie to reach for a Choc drop....)

I nearly died but for the hind lick manoeuvre!

Seriously! I nearly died! Mummy was workIng from home and we were just heading out for our lunchtime walk when I started choking in the hallway.
Mummy had read an article about how to deal with this so she felt around my mouth to see if amything was stuck in there but she could find nothing. She remembered to lift me up by my back paws in case anything would come out but nothing. By now my cute lil' eyes were flickering and I was passing out! Then Mummy put her arms round my tum tums and pulled real hard and I threw up, and was able to breathe again! Thank you Mummy for reading that article! Hope all other pawrents know what to do too!

Mummy is BARKING!

Barking mad, that is! I have seen her do some strange things in my time, but this morning she was sitting in front of a mirror plucking whiskers off her face!!!!! Weird or what? I mean, we all know how important our whiskers are, right? We use them in long grass and stuff. And it might just be a weird family thing but I was standing at the top of the stairs in Nana and Granddad's one day and I'm pretty sure Granddad was taking his whiskers off too - he was holding a noisy whirry thing in his hand and rubbing it all over his chin! I did have an opportunity to sniff and lick at his chin later and it felt very smooth. Do any other doggies have weird hooman families like mine? Is there help available?

Which brings me onto a theory I've been developing. I could never understand why neither Mummy, Nana or Granddad were particularly keen on rolling around in the long grass with me, 'specially when it's wet (which in my opinion is the bestest time!) but now I think it's cos they don't have whiskers to guide them through all the dangers lurking in the long grass which we doggies use our whiskers to avoid. These hooman peoples are just big scaredy kitty cats!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my pals all the way across the 'lantic Ocean. Mummy says you'll all be getting treats and Meatz and stuff all day! Will you get TURKEY? And HAM? Ooooooh, I can't bear it!!!!!!

On another note, I had my first close-up encounter with a kitty cat last night. Mummy kept me on my leash and we sniffed each other and Mummy says I was very good cos I didn't chase her or nothin. In fact I ENJOYED sniffing the kitty cat. Is there something wrong with me? Maybe the thought of turkey and ham has affected my brain or sumfin?????

Hallowe'en Trip to Ireland postponed

Pupsie pals, I am very sorry to announce that our planned trip to Ireland has been postponed due to that big storm thing that came in across the 'lantic ocean - I'm afraid to say the leprechauns just weren't prepared to drive their magical bus across to collect you all! But Cleo! I thought you said that was a magical bus that could magically appear in all your pupsie pals' back yards and collect them to bring them to Ireland? Yes Mummy, but....em.....Looney O'Leprechaun himself told me that the weather conditions weren't condusive to driving his magical bus, and his insurance doesn't cover him driving 'cross oceans when it's stormy like that. If any of the doggies were to lose their stash of meatz or treats or choc drops or anything he wouldn't be able to pay them back. And I'm so disappointed cos I spent so much time while you were away working out all the finer details over in nana and Granddad's. Are you sure Cleo? What do you mean Mummy? Well everytime I spoke to Nana while I was away you were either out walking with them or curled up beside your granddad, I saw photos of you too! Mummy! Are you insinuating that the reason I am postponing this event is because I was lazing around while you were away and not working on my trip of a lifetime for my pals? Really!
