Blog post No 25. The big orange monster.

Hello again

The weather has been sunny and warm recently and having the choice to potter in and out of the house has been really nice for me.

Sometimes I just like to sit and watch out for the cat that lives near us  watch the birds in the garden.

One of my favourite things to do is to play "Sprinkles"  

My staff put treats on the grass and I love to sniff them out with my nose.

Then eat them.

It is great fun

However, there is one problem.

The BIG orange monster.

The monster always hibernates during the winter months then comes back around Spring time.

Then it always seems to run onto MY lawn as soon as my treats appear.

I have to be fast to get to them first because it has a very big mouth!

Then eat my treats very quickly.

Blog post No 12. Making choices.

Hello

Me again.

Today I am going to write about choices.

My staff, as you know, are very attentive and I am allowed to choose, for the most part, what I want to do.

Yesterday afternoon they thought I would enjoy a trot around outside.

I thought that was a great idea, sniff out some moles and mice and chase the local feral cats.

However, they failed to mention the brisk south easterly "breeze".

I am not a meteorologist but even I can distinguish between a breeze and a gale force wind..... certainly when it is heading towards my derriere.

I, therefore, chose to stay close to the protected areas away from the "hurricane" brisk breeze.

My choice.

I wasn't going to risk going into a field with no protection from the elements.

So back we went.

My choice.

Here is photographic evidence of the brisk breeze.

The trees were not standing still and upright as they should be!

Let me in please.

HURRY UP!
