For quite some time I’ve been hearing Them mutter about “walking him off-lead”. This sounded good, but was almost always followed up with “but not here” or “but not today” or “too many children/dogs/people/rivers/barbed wire/poo to eat”. Which I think is a touch harsh, but what can you do?
I have been most neglectful of you, dear reader, for which I am truly ashamed. Life, however, has continued in many and varied ways.
Since I was last able to sneak some computer time I have:
- been on holiday
- been very poorly sick, thus ending the holiday
- seen The Vet lots (hurrah! Still love The Vet!)
- lost weight
- put weight back on
- had a birthday
- discovered a number of new walks
- decided that if other dogs and people won’t play with me I shall bark at them until they do. So there
- re-instated the fine art of the full body floor cuddle
No, DO play with your food
There are many good things in life. People; other dogs; cats; walks; toys; food; barking; sleeping; car trips; The Vet; eating poo … the list is almost endless. Sometimes, though you get to take two or more good things and put them together!

Oh my word and flippity flop, life is confusing. And painful. Just when you think you’re getting the hang of things … BAM! Something comes along to throw you for six. Although six is supposed to be good, so I don’t quite follow that. Should be throw you for one. Or hit you for a catch. Hrm. Anyway, I digress.
The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of weird.
It’s been a hard day’s night
… and I have indeed been working like a dog. Well, I would, wouldn’t I?
Life has changed. I’m given to understand that in years gone by children were put to work at a very young age. I bet they were able to get past eight months. Not me. Nope, eight months old, and already being dragged to the office.
