Punxsatawney Phil; You are NOT my friend!

What do you mean the shadow was there? Are you mad? Six more weeks of winter! How will we survive 'til mid March?

I know that some pups love the snow and go all bouncy through it. Me, however? I'm a dog who likes to be warm and toasty and I can't be with all this snow! And all because an overgrown gopher said so!

.Well, my walks will be short (in and out for the essentials of life).
.I shall stay close to my favorite spot in the winter - the radiator.
.I shall demand a cup of tea on returning from the forced walk
.I shall attempt to sleep 'til March
.I will gather all my soft toys around my bed for extra warmth
.I shall talk more to my online friends - I can feel the warmth from their hearts already.

Christmas was delicious but New Year? hide!

Well I thouroughly enjoyed my Christmas with the family. I helped the kids to shred all that pesky paper on their presents! They threw it I attacked it! It was all great fun.

Then came Christmas dinner,yum, yum. My own portion in my own bowl all super-fresh and still steaming - delicious.

Christmas dinner just gets better and better. Third day in and the leftovers were still coming thick and fast. Another piece of turkey? don't mind if I do! Biccys and cheeeeeese too. Ooh my faves.

Mom took me for extra long walkies too. She said it was to work off some of my excess energy so I wouldn't get too overexcited by all the visitors (who come bearing gifts of doggy treats). But I think the extra long walkies were so that she could escape some of the craziness of the house for a bit; regain her sanity before going back and doing it all again.

So New Year is here now. Their plans are to watch all the episodes of Star 'Wars back-to-back then go outside at about 11pm to watch fireworks and have a BBQ with all the neighbors.

Well I'm NOT going out there - not even for a sausage!!! I spend New Year's Eve in the bath tub. I've seen all those World War Two movies! It's the safest place to hide from fireworks! I'll see them all agian when they come back inside for hot chocolate and marshmallows (icky, yuck, sticky things) to warm up before all going to bed.

Ahh I love my bed. Dreams of 2009 to come. Good luck and love to all my pals for the new year. New Year = New Beginnings for us all.

Ooh taggety tag - I nearly missed it!

I was tagged ages ago by my dear friend Ziggy Moonbeam. So sorry Ziggy. I think it's about time I wrote my taggy 7 facts about me! Gosh I so drippy and slow this week Here we go...
Gotta write 7 facts about me and then pass it on to 7 more pups...

1. I'm shedding alot at the moment (don't worry there plenty more where that came from - no bald patches) Mum sings as she hoovers up "I'm the real sheddy, the real slim sheddy, please stand up, please stand up" I think it's a song by Eminem - Bertie would know, he's a DJ

2. I love Christmas. I love to play "grab and rip the paper to shreds" after the kids open their presents. I love to chew inner tubes too (from the toilet roll) Mum says she's sure there is some hamster in me!

3. If mum gets tired and lays down in the afternoon, it means she wants to....play of course! I chew her slippers and play attack her hands until she gives up and sits up to play

4. I love the vet. She is sweet and gentle. She does give injections but I don't even notice those....and she gives me biscuits. so I'll forgive her anything.

5. At about 9 O'clock at night, I suddenly decide it's play time again! I'll attack my squeaky blue moo (cow toy) and chase my tail. The only thing is, I catch mine too sometimes. when I do catch my tail I pull it and fall over - everybody thinks this is very funny (but I won't let them catch me doing it on camera - I'm a bit camera shy)

6. I love everybody who calls at the house and make a big fuss of them. After all, that's why they come to visit isn't it? To cuddle and play with me?

7. My favorite place to be right now is underneath the radiator. Snow in the air and icey rain just don't sit right with me. I'm a warm weather woof.

I'll pass on this tag now to 7 other pups. I love reading the results.

Hoy! Notice me!

That game of tag was fun. i enjoyed reading all the other diaries. Lots of laughs. BOL BOL
Mum's been updating her other websites this week; that's several times I've had to remind her to get off the computer for walkies. Honestly some people...they get to tapping and don't notice the time!
Walkies time (it's nearly always walkies time - I have 3, hour-long strolls a day unless it's raining then I won't go out except for a quickie wee wee in the garden)
Mum also cleaned out the fridge this week. What a cheek; that's my job. There really is no reason to let good food rot when there is a hungry doggy in the house! Mind you there was a nasty green fluffy thing in the back that even I would not touch. ak-a-vee!
Mum's now ironing my girl's uniform ready for tomorrow's rememberance service; she's a badger (St John's Ambulance Brigade, junior division) but I'm doing something far more important. I'm sitting in the garden guarding against stray cats.
On Thursday there was a hedgehog out here; funny little fella with a snuffly nose and no fear. I barked and danced around him but he wouldn't join in. I would have loved to have danced with the hedgehog tonight too but I can't find him. Mum says he's probably getting ready to go to sleep. But I do that every night and I'm still here the day after! I don't know, I don't get hedgehogs.

Play tag?

I've been tagged my dear fur friend Tyler
Here are the rules to this game.

Name 7 facts about yourself and then tag 7 friends, don't forget to let them know they've been tagged and to read your diary for the rules.

Ok so here goes....

1. I eat human food whenever I'm allowed especially pizza and lasagne

2. I've started sleeping in mum and dad's room 'cos of the scary fireworks (UK Guy Fawkes Night)

3. I love ALL humans and ALL dogs that I meet on my walks (but not all of them are as friendly)

4. I love my boy and follow him everywhere and try to keep him safe. I'll even bark at mum if she tells him off.

5. I don't travel so well. I get travel sick; but not on the train!

6. I sit on the windowledge at the top of the stairs; I can see the whole street from there. And can keep watch for cats creeping into my garden.

7. I sing to the rag and bone man (he doesn't really have bones. He shouts "Rag and bone!" when he comes into the street and people give him old furniture, scrap metal or clothes they don't want any more and he gives them a few coins in return) He's real loud and I always join in aroooooo!

The 7 friends i'm tagging are...
Chloe
Ella
Flicka
Duchess
Jasper
Sam

I took the quiz!

Have you taken the quiz yet?
It's grrreat fun.
Aparently I'm a Labrador retriever!
Well In my head anyway
see what they said about me;
Labrador Retriever
The Caretaker

Your family is what makes you tick, and you never "flea" from an opportunity to hang out with the whole gang. A family picnic complete with hot dogs, deviled eggs and a refreshing swim in the lake is hard for you to stray from. Your sparky temperament and dogged intelligence mean you are not only a blast to hang out with, but great to work with as well. Your close pals appreciate your patience and forgiveness, knowing you'd rather let sleeping dogs lie than dwell on the mishaps of the past. Your dashing good looks may one day lead to a modelling career, if only you can tame the unfortunate clumsiness that sometimes causes you to go flailing from the catwalk.

They also say likely professions include Doctor, Sales Executive or a Teacher; just like Mummy!
Well I am herd of the class!

So that's what Howlaween is for!

Well,
woof,
I could have lost my voice!
So many kids called at the door
I woofed my little heart out.
Kids I knew and kids I didn't.
And mom's giving away all the goodies.
Hey hang on, what about me?
Sorry love, she says it's mostly chocolate and not for you.
She gave me some jelly worms
Ahhh
How disgusting.
They tasted OK to start with, but then, they wrapped themselves around my back teeth and turned into a slimey goo which I ended up having to lick and suck for the next few hours.
Eww times 10!
They should be banned!

Happy Howlaween!

Good news now.
It's the LAW to feed goodies to doggies on Howlaween!
(or so I say)

Mum carved the wierdest looking pumpkin monster ever!
and made some cookie things
Well I don't know what they were supposed to be either but I got to eat them 'cos they were too hard for everybody else's teeth!
hee hee more for me!

I was picked by my good pals at the "Talking Agility" group as the winner of the colouring contest (see piccy above) - yippee
- thanks to all who voted.
There were some wonderful entries. How I won I'll never know but I'm so happy; I'm gonna play "catch my tail" all day. I got a beautiful rainbow star for my page from Reba for winning.

I've been getting so many p-mails and presents (rossettes) I think it must still be my birthday

Everyone is simply wonderful
I'm loving this month.

Momma's trying to drown me!

A bath every so often is a neccessary evil -
but two in one week!

Ok here's what happened...
I got particularly muddy and needed a bath (or so she says - I think I was OK)
So out came the flea shampoo (just to be sure) and one bath later I was all clean and fit for human contact again.

But oooh itch! I was sooo itchy! I tried but couldn't stop scratching. mum said I would do myself an injury so she gave me another bath. No shampoo this time just a real good rinse. and a mighty combing to see if there were any unwelcome visitors. there weren't.

Slightly better but still itchy!

After reading a few other doggy diaries she slaps her head in disgust and brings out the frontline drops!
Is there no end to the indignities!

Ok so I'm well rinsed
I'm well combed
I'm frontlined!
I'm gonna scratch myself out of her sight from now on!
