Holidays

My human and I have been on our holidays.  I've been staying with my superior human and their superior beings and have had a brilliant time!  I think my human should get another superior being so I can run around and play fight all day long.  I don't think my human will do that until we live in a different house but I can keep my paws crossed.  My human went to visit her parents and I think she had a good time.

It has been very hot this week, too hot to get up to much mischief.  I did have a sore eye and my superior human thought I might have to go and see the vet but it got better by itself.  I like going to the vet, lots of pats, hugs and treats in there.  I always get told I'm such a lovely good boy, but I do know that already!

Wet Wet Wet

I'm not referring to my human's terrible taste in music but the weather outside.  It is so wet at the moment and there have been these strange loud noises in the sky and flashing lights too.  I know it's not fireworks -- I love watching fireworks with all their pretty colours and shapes, so I'm not too sure what these recent bangs are.  Anyway, when the flashes and bangs come so does the rain and lots of it.

Me and superior human and the other superior beings have been soaked every single day and when I've been out with my human we've been soaked too.  I don't really like rain but I do like walks so I put up with being wet.  My human says I'm funny because I love going in rivers and puddles so she doesn't understand why I'm not keen on rain.  I can't explain it, it's just different.

What A Year

Soon I will have been living with my human for a whole year and I still love being here.  Loads of things have been going on so I'll try to think about it and tell you all about it.

The superior human was looking after me quite a lot because my human was having to go to hospital every day to get something she called "radiotherapy".  I'm not sure what that is but it made her feel really ill so I stayed with the superior human for a little while so my human could get better.  She is still not well but she's getting better.  The superior human takes me for walks most days with other superior beings and I have a brilliant time rolling around in the wet grass and jumping into rivers.  The other superior beings play chase with me which is great fun - we're all really good friends now.

My human has been taking me on new walks up into the hills and forests.  I love going up there because I can chase rabbits and squirrels and scare the pigeons so they flap away into the sky.  One day I scared a pheasant and it scared me back but that was at the beach.  The beach is a strange place to go, it's got this stuff called sand and when I run on it my paws get all covered with it.  Then when I pick up my ball my nose and chin get sand on them too.  My human and one of the visitor humans had to get me clean after that because I was nervous of the waves coming towards me and I wouldn't go in the water.  My human called me a "silly beastie" for running towards the waves then running away again.  I smiled when she said that.

I can't think of anything else to tell you all about.  I'll try and write here more often.

Missed Me?

I haven't had a moment to myself this week so I decided that an otherwise boring Saturday evening would suit to try and catch up with this thing.

So, I've been out this week with the Superior Human three times, he's great but I keep trying to make him take me away with him for more adventures and he never does.  One day I'll smuggle myself into his car and go off on a little Superior tour.  Yes, that sounds grand.

Then another new human came to my house to meet me and said I'm gorgeous and very clever.  Well, while I already know this it's nice to be reminded.  Anyway, this new human appears to be another Superior one and is going to take me out next week to see how I get on with her and the Superior Beings that she also takes out.  I'm very much looking forward to that, more friends for me!

I was out on Thursday with a superior being sitter person.  It didn't go very well, I'm not going to be going back to her again.  She is brilliant but she has two of her own Superior Beings and one of them really didn't like me.  I tried hard to be nice and friendly but it didn't work.  My human and me think that it's not very fair if me being around will upset the other Superior Being so I might just go with that human if its an emergency walk.

My human had to go to the vet yesterday so I stayed at home with one of my favourite visitor humans.  He was doing something called Work so I was very good and didn't bother him too much.  I'm not too sure what work is but it seems to consist of talking on his noisy metal contraption a lot.  My human does that, I think its like a bone because most humans seem to carry them around and wont let other humans touch them.  Yes, I think that they are human bones.

When my human got home yesterday she was very tired again, the vets seem to make her more tired than she usually is but I'm not sure why.  Anyway, she went to have a sleep and I went with her to make sure she was ok.  I had to wake her up to give me my dinner but she didn't mind and then later I woke her up again to let me out in my garden.  My human is really kind, she doesn't get annoyed at all and gives me loads of cuddles.

Today I've been making my human play with me and my toys and we went to my park for a little while too.  She says that tonight there might be some loud noises called Bangs and some pretty lights in the sky.  Apparently humans do this deliberately today I'm not sure what the point of it all is but so long as it doesn't wake me up I don't care.  I'm not scared of loud noises* or lights so I'll just tell her she shouldn't be either.

Now I need my dinner.




*note from Danté's human: he certainly doesn't mind loud noises having been in the city this week when the One O'Clock Gun went off.  I jumped a mile, he just looked over his shoulder and carried on walking.

What Is Maths Anyway

I haven't had the chance to update you all on what I've been doing because my human has been messing around doing something called "maths".  Whatever this maths thing is it takes a lot of her attention away from me and I really do feel completely neglected.  She only took me to the park for an hour on Sunday and for an hour and a bit today.  But that was after she unwillingly played with my toys with me for a few hours.  No, this maths thing is not good.

The superior human took me out yesterday and I had great fun with him and my superior being friend.  I like him a lot and tried to make him take me out again when he was saying goodbye to me and my human.  He just laughed, gave me another biscuit and told me he'll see me soon.  My point is that I got a biscuit.

Earlier on today I did something I knew was naughty but I didn't get into any trouble for it.  My human left a box of eggs sitting on the side in the kitchen and while she was drinking her tea I went and got it down.  I couldn't get it open so I chewed a hole in the end of it and got an egg out.  Once that was done I carried the egg out of my human's sight and ate it.  All of it.  The shell was great fun to crunch but it was doing that which got me caught.  Anyway, she just watched me eat the rest then went back to drinking her tea.  But she did warn me never to do that again.

We'll see.

Busy Days

My human had to go and see the vet yesterday, she was gone for hours and I did wonder if she was going to ever come home.  I wasn't on my own though.  The superior human took me out for a long run with my new superior being friend and when he took me home one of my visitor humans was here to spend all afternoon keeping me company.  I tried hard to be very well behaved and I think I managed that quite well.  My visitor human gave me loads of attention and she spent ages playing with me and then gave me my treat ball and a bone!  I've got her figured out already, all I need to do is look gorgeous and drop little hints and I get anything I want, it's like magic.

When my human got home I knew she was feeling tired because of how her face looked so I didn't jump around too much.  She and my visitor human had a drink of that hot stuff that humans like and then my visitor human had to go away to do other things.  I thought me and my human would have a rest but instead we went to my park to play for a while.  My human said she felt good after so I was very pleased about that.  She told me that she had to think about what her vet had been saying and the best place to do that was with me in my park.

Today has been very quiet, no-one has knocked at the door and my human hasn't been fiddling with that noisy metal bone she carries around with her.  She's been sleeping and I've been playing with my toys, chewing my bone and snoozing a bit too.  This evening she took me to my park again, I love going there and I'm learning that I can trust her all the time.


My new home and my new human aren't new any more, they're just mine.

Bog Dog

I had a wonderful time this afternoon.  The superior human who was here the other day came back again but this time he took me out for a run and play with another dog.  It was such a rainy day I got totally soaking wet but superior human gave me a good rub down with a towel before he brought me home.  When I got out of his car to go to my door I got all wet again so my human had to give me another rub down, she took my collars off too so that my neck can dry properly and not get irritated.  I can't wait for the superior human to come back again, he really likes me but everyone does I know, he called me a fantastic dog and said I'm really brilliant but he said that to my human not to me so it must be true.

When I got home I was still looking to play but my human had other ideas.  She decided it would be better to unpack the new hoover contraption thing.  Not only that but she also thought that she needed to try it out.  Next time I see her getting that thing ready to roar I'll be very fast in telling her that it's a bad idea.

Another Day, Another......

Parcel!  Yes, I know I'm incredibly spoilt but I think I'm worth it.  My human thinks so too - I can tell.

We had another visitor at Danté Towers today, a very nice human who I totally ignored in favour of my bone.  Well I have to have my priorities straight.  Him and my human spent ages just talking about me and the other superior beings they know or have known in the past.  Anyway, I was listening to their chit chat while I pretended to be not interested in them and it seems that this visitor human is going to be taking me out for some of my walks so that my human can rest and hopefully get better.  I think he's a superior being in disguise so that makes him a superior human.

I'm looking forward to going on some walks with superior human but I think I'll have to be on best behaviour because he seems to understand how to keep control of superior beings who pull and mess around.  He says he'll introduce me to some other superior beings so I'll be able to get to know them and make new friends.  I think that's brilliant!

The human vet had better be good at their job, I need my human to get mended.
