I’ve been feeling a little poorly the past couple of days.  I’m not sure why; I’m just feeling a bit off and not myself.  My human took me to the doctor last night and while he was very nice I would have preferred to not go.  He took blood and urine (that was not an experience I’d like to repeat) and apparently everything is normal.

I’m just going to do a fair bit of sleeping and see if I can’t make myself feel better.

I did something a little bit silly today.  I was digging in the garden (which isn’t the silly bit) and soehow managed to get under the deck.  Now under the deck is a very wonderful place to be because it is quiet, and dark, and cool, and full of great bugs and stuff.

But  after a while it is a little scary.

And I couldn’t work out how to get out again.

So I had to wimper and cry until Ashley realised I was under there.  He then called out for Morgan (who collapsed into a laughing fit for a minute) and then they both got me out from under the deck.

I was very dirty (which doesn’t fit with my lovely white fur) so Ashley put me in the spa for a couple of minutes and game me a wash down.

Hmm, perhaps now I’m clean and dry I’ll go and see what bugs I can find in the garden to chase…

Today is my birthday; I’m 12 today.  I had my friend around for dinner last night and the humans made me spaghetti bol with cheese on it.    Then I got a present – a very tasty bone biscuit with a candle in it.

I’ve had a great birthday.

Morgan made me some special treats today.  She got a great book full of recipes as a gift and today she baked carob and oat biscuits.  I didn’t like them at first because I was asleep when she tried to get me interested, but later on when I was in the mood, they were just perfect.

Spent the day in bed today because it is cold and overcast.  But it is almost dinner time so I’d better think about getting out of bed.

After the walk on the beach, the inevitable happened.  I still managed to wake up from my nap and demand a game with the ball though.

I went down to the beach with my family this afternoon and had a huge run around.  Then I went exploring in the dunes.  I was so tired after my walk, but it felt fabulous to have the wind and the sand in my fur.

I had a big weekend and now I’d just like a little nap….

Relaxing in the sunshine

It occurs to me that most of the photographs on my site at the moment show me asleep (except for the one that has the pile of dirt I wasn’t allowed to play in).  Lest I be mistaken for a dog that does nothing all day but sleep and doze, I will endeavour to get some action shots taken next time my humans have the camera out.

Meanwhile, this is a picture of my just resting in the sun.  You can see (if you look closely) that my eyes are actually open.  Just a bit.  A very little bit.  Alright, I was almost asleep.  But right after this I lept down from the couch and barked very ferociously at the dog next door.  Honest!

I just made another micro-loan to Kiva.  I wanted to follow up on my loan from last year to a mechanic in Cambodia, so have provided a loan to a farmer in Afghanistan.  And while I’ll never get to see either of these places (damn quarantine), it is nice to know I’m making a difference.
