June already?

Where did May go?

We've had such a busy time lately.  Here's some of the things we've been up to ...

We had our annual boosters at the vet and were very sad to hear that our regular vet was leaving to move south.  That said, we saw a really lovely lady vet who gave us both some Smacko for being good boys.  She's a keeper!

We had a lovely family day at Clumber for hooman Hannah's birthday.


There were about 10 hoomans and four dogs - Me, Murphy, Tigger and a lovely little chap called Rufus ( a Sprocker I think) who was very shy at the start of the day but was beginning to play with Mum by the end. What made the day really special is that Nana came - she has been quite poorly after falling over and we haven't seen her for ages.  She enjoyed her day and even laughed when I barked at her walking stick.

Mum collected her new car and we really like it.  It is a bit lower than the last one so much easier to jump in and out of although Murph still gets a helping hand. Mum's happy as she has loads of room for 'stuff' like towels, treats, bowls, leads etc. for us.

Last Thursday we met up with loads of friends, some we hadn't seen for ages, for a lovey walk at Thoresby Park.  It was a really nice leisurely walk, just far enough for the hoomans to work up an appetite for lunch.

And so to this week when I learnt that we are heading off in our 'van soon to visit our favourite place in the north which is the area around Alnwick and Seahouses and all the lovely beaches that go with it.  Dad is having another trip to the Farnes (how many pictures of cute puffins does he need?) and we will have a day at the beach with Mum.  The inevitable Roman day will happen, and Mum has said she wants to go to Sycamore Gap so I hope there will be space on the camera for a photo there.

I have also learnt that in July we are taking the 'van to New Lodge and leaving it there so we can go down and stay whenever we want for the rest of the summer.  Can't wait, what lucky boys we are!
