It's been a long time since I wrote in my diary but I just had an exciting few weeks, so I thought it's about time I wrote a new entry. First of all, I had a bit of an accident at the dog park and managed to slice one of my ears open on the fence... there was blood everywhere!! It wouldn't stop for ages... I was OK but my mom and dad were panicking a bit. They tried to clean me up in the tub but as soon as I got out I had a bit of a shake... well, what was I supposed to do? I splattered blood all over the bathroom walls and ceiling... it looked like a crime scene! I went to see the vet and she said that because of where the cut was, sutures wouldn't stay in, so she SUPERGLUED my ear back together! The really bad thing was I had to wear one of those horrible collars that looks like a lampshade. I was supposed to wear it for 7 days, but I got away with just 5 days in the end. It was snowy out and every time I went for a walk, I ploughed and ended up with a big snowball inside my collar.

The following week my parents took me on a big adventure in the car. We drove for hours and hours, went over the border to Canada (where I had to show my doggie passport) and ended up in the city of Québec where they were having a big winter carnival. My mom got me a special winter outfit of a fleece coat and boots so I wouldn't get too cold in all the snow – I got lots of attention and admiring looks when I wore it. People were even stopping me so they could take photos of me. I met a new friend, another beagle named Walter, who lives in Québec. He speaks french, but we got along fine: I think we might be bow-lingual.
