Carneddau

Mark took me for a walk in Snowdonia today. We'd all been camping in Anglesey by the beach, and Mark wanted to recce a leg of the Paddy Buckley Round. Parked on the A5 just before Capel Curig, then we jogged along the footpath to Ogwen. I enjoyed the steep climb up Pen Yr Ole Wen - Mark had to help me in a couple of places, and when we got to the top it was very windy and about 20m visibility. Mark had to use the compass a few times. When we got back to the car, Mark took me to the river at Capel for a wash. I slept a lot on the way back.

A few days earlier at Moelfre, I met a 12 week BC pup called Max - he had sharp teeth. Young Master said he wants a puppy too. That would be fun.

Now back in the garden and enjoying the company of Splodge and Stripe for their last night before going back home

Minky

Wow, life is good. Mark called me into the house late last night after I'd spent all day with Splodge and Stripe, and when I got in I saw Minky in her hamster cage. Minky is a lot smaller than the Ginny Pigs, but moves around a lot more, and I have to keep moving quickly around her cage to keep up with her.

New Friends

Splodge and Stripe have come to stay for their summer holidays. Their family has gone to Greece for a couple of weeks, and my family is looking after their pets. I think they are called Ginny Pigs. I like them a lot. I have given up all interest in balls, toys, food and water, and I sit next to their hutch all day. They are the most fascinating things I have met.

Eddie's Paw

Saw Eddie today, he looked a bit sad; he said he couldn't come running with me. There was a sock taped over his front paw, and he had a cone around his head. He said it was a grass seed that had sprouted, and he had to go to the vet to have it removed. Poor Eddie, hope he gets better soon.

My Henley

Mark and the children took me to Henley yesterday to watch some boats. I remember last year I got so excited at the start that I jumped in the water to chase the boats. I go wild when races start, and I tell everyone how excited I am. This time Mark wouldn't let me jump in, and kept my lead really short - he said he didn't want me to shake over everyone when I got out, but I wouldn't have minded. Rosemary took me for a long walk up the bank and then I managed to wriggle out of my harness at the bridge and jump in. We then had a nice boat trip back down to the start.
Just before we left, some boys were juggling balls nearby and I shouted at them to let me join in. Then they came over and rubbed my tummy. Bliss.
