Not sure what's going on but a big green tree has arrived in the lounge. I'm not allowed to pee against it but am drinking the water out of the container at the bottom (well saves me going out to the kitchen).
The tree's been decorated with lots of shiny things including balls that I'm not allowed to play with. It's all very strange but it looks quite pretty I suppose.
Little Nanny has been taking me out for some walks lately and I'm having a lovely time. Yesterday she took me out for 3 hours - what a lovely lady!!
Wendy says I'm starting to smell a bit and it's time for my Christmas bath - not sure I like the sound of that very much. Wendy finishes work today and will be off until the 2nd January so I'm looking forward to having all my family around for so long.
I've hung my stocking up - something called Santa Claws might come and leave me some presents apparently.
There's talk of lots of food including a big roast turkey - hope I get a look in on that!!

The Great Escape
Well it's been a long time since I've written but I've settled into quite a routine now and there's not so much to report any more.
However I was a naughty boy on Sunday. Wendy & Richard were going to the carol concert at the church and had some visitors coming. Unbeknown to them, while they were meeting their guests I made my escape through the open door.
In my defence it was time for my daily walk (even though they'd taken me for a long one an hour before).
They realised I was missing and started to look for me - there was only 15 minutes to go to the start of the concert.
Then the phone rang and a very nice lady said that although I was very nice and she was happy to take me for a walk, she was worried that I was getting further and further from home and she wasn't coming back that way!!
Yes - I'd used my initiative and tagged myself on to a nice lady who seemed to be going for a walk. She kept telling me to go home but I couldn't see a reason to. Unfortunately Wendy had put our phone number on my collar.
Wendy and guests went on to the church and Richard had to run to catch up with me - by that time I was a good 5-10 minutes from home. He wasn't best pleased. Wendy says when he arrived in the church there was steam rising off his back where he'd got so hot.
Got to meet Kay (Wendy & Richard's sister-in-law) who lives in France who thought I was lovely and has invited me to go and visit and play with her dog Granger. She lives down in a national park in the pyrenees and there's lots of walks so maybe one day Wendy & Richard will take me.
On Wednesday morning this week whilst out for a walk with Wendy I spied a rabbit and chased it across a field. Having caught up with it I wasn't very sure what to do. I chased it round in circles for a bit and then it stopped and just squeaked. I ran around it for a bit then got bored and ran back to Wendy. It's no fun when they don't run!!

Wet, Wet, Wet
Well what horrible weather it's been. Have been getting very wet on my walks lately and it was so dark, cold and wet this morning that when Wendy opened the door to take me out I didn't want to go!!
Have had a bit of an upset tummy over the last few days again but it's getting better now. Wendy & Richard think I maybe ate something I shouldn't of while I was out.
Yesterday Wendy, Richard and I went and met a man called Ian who is a dog trainer. He spent an hour assessing me and trying all kinds of new commands. I already can do 'sit' and 'wait' and sometimes 'come' (if there's nothing to exciting to distract me). I've now started to learn 'down', 'leave' and 'stay' too.
He thought I was lovely and thinks I'll learn really quickly. I can start classes on the first Saturday in January as long as I have had my kennel cough vaccination at least 7 days before. I'm going to start in the puppy class but he thinks I'll move up through the classes very quickly as I'm apparently very intelligent.
Wendy bought me a new tug toy today as she's run out of old t-towels for me to rip apart.
I am growing taller every day and love it here.
