Last Day Entry 11

Come on Play Ball
Today I tried to get Dylan to play ball  I pushed the ball with my nose towards him and waited. He did not seem to understand that chasing a ball is fun, he just sat there.

What am I to with that?
All that happened was he looked at the ball then looked at Paula as if to say 'Really she wants me to chase that?'
Paula saved the day and my embarrassment and picked up the ball and threw it for me to chase. Dylan likes string he will play with shoe laces and string any time of the day but will not chase a ball.

Today it is raining and very wet so Paula took me for a walk and we saw people running in the rain, not running to get inside but in shorts and a vest, I think they call it jogging.
They looked like this only wet and did not look at all happy.

Even I don't like being out in the rain so why do humans run in the rain? they are very odd.

When we got back home Paula dried me off with a towel it was nice and warm as it was on the radiator waiting for me so I could get warm and dry.

Colin cleaned the floor with that horrid noisy machine whilst we were out, he got it ready before I went for my walk. I don't like that cleaning machine it hurts my ears so I am pleased Colin used it when I was out with Paula.

Today Dean and Chizzy come home and I will go home and see my cats. I have had a lovely time at Dylan's home and loved all my walks even if it rain or snow. Thank you Dylan your a very hospitable chap.

OH NO Snow Entry 10

Great I wondered why Paula put my coat on that horrid wet white stuff is falling from the sky again. Yes it is snowing, I thought we had got rid of that but it is back I hope it does not settle as my Master will not be happy.
Off I go down the path that is rather wet today as it is slowly snowing and making the ground wetter than before.

I have to make sure Paula and Colin are close by ready to play ball. I have to keep them amused snow or not.

Got it, time to get back I think it is snowing faster now. You can't see it in my picture but trust me it is snowing harder than when we first came out.

Dean does not like the snow it means we can't go to work,he is not happy when he can't go to work and kills more Zombies in his game. Chizzy does not like the snow much either it makes getting to work hard for her. So I hope the snow goes away before they come home.

Soon be Home Entry 9

Well my holiday is nearly over and I will be heading home soon. I like being here but it will be nice to Dean and Chizzy again and my cats.

Dylan has been very hospitable and lets me share his home and does not mind me greeting him when he comes in. We even had a game of chase and hide, Dylan ran past me and then made a pounce at me to play then hid. I was very excited and played with him for a little while until he got fed up and went outside.

Dylan's garden is small but they have some funny white flowers growing Paula calls them Snowdrops. I sniffed them but they are not very interesting.

I have done some nice things this holiday and have learnt to wait for Paula and Colin to get ready to go out. You can't rush them they are slow and take their time, so I wait until they have their coats on then I get up to take them out.
People come and go a lot here and there is always someone banging doors or calling out. One day there were some strange noises coming from somewhere overhead. Strange shouting and mumblings not  proper human talk it was very odd. I barked to make it go away but it still carried on, then there was a stomping noise, it made me growl I did not like that. Colin said the people upstairs were on the warpath again.I was pleased when they stopped I did not like the sound of that one little bit.

Last night I heard someone in the garden well I thought they were and I let Paula and Colin know by barking. Paula looked out but no one was there, she we went outside to make sure and I followed, it was someone having problems opening the door to get into the building.
Dylan just looks up when he hears things and does nothing about it but then he is a cat and they are not great at warning their pets.

I like Paula and Colin and they even play ball in the house with me, Dylan scowls when Paula throws the ball too close to him.
Then he goes into the bedroom to get out of the way.

Canal Walk Entry 8

I went to the Canal with Paula and we saw two ducks swimming they must have cold feet it was very cold today as it is windy and Paula said the wind chill was like 1 degree C even though the temperature  is 5 degrees C. No idea what she was on about but it made my ears feel cold today.

Here are the ducks we saw funny little things happily swimming along on a cold day.

We saw a canal boat and it smelt strange to me a smell of burning wood was coming from it. A man came out and walked along the path and checked the boat and went back in again. I don't understand humans they do some very strange things and live in odd places. Why would you want to live in a boat when you can have a nice house like my Master and Mistress has? very strange.

This is bridge we walked over, it is nice by the canal and we did not see anyone except for the man in the canal boat.I like the canal walk there are lots of new things to see.

 We went home and walked up the road, Paula could not take a picture of it today so I am adding a link of the road instead.Road I walked up


We saw a strange little thing running around on the path a white rabbit it was too quick to take a picture but this is what the white rabbit looked like.


I was very interested and pricked my ears up and whined a bit, it ran around for a while then went into a garden.

A very interesting walk today full of surprises.

Click, Click, Click Entry 7

The evening's here are filled with different noises. First there is that box that odd noises come from they call it a TV. I get all confused when I hear a cat or a dog bark, I think they are outside.
Sometimes there are loud bangs and people shouting they like to watch a programme called  World Without End

They also watch something called Arrow both make me think someone is around and I have to make sure no one there.

Then Paula uses two sticks and some string stuff and makes a clicking sound she calls it knitting. It looks and sounds strange to me but she seems to like doing it. She made something she wears when we go out it looks nice a cosy. She got Colin to to take a picture of her wearing it using another thing that clicks. My Master Dean uses one to take pictures of me and Chizzy.
 It is rather cold here Paula says it is 5 degrees C no idea what that is but if it means it is cold then they are right is really is cold.
Paula made the Cowl to keep warm on my walks, Colin wears a hat and both wear things on there hands called gloves. My feet get cold but no one puts things on them to keep them warm. Humans are really tender that way they need all sorts of things to stay warm.

So all that clicking made something that will keep Paula from feeling cold. When she finished that she got out more string stuff and started clicking again but I have no idea what she is making but she seems pleased with it so far.

I wonder what it is like in Gran Canaria today? Colin said it is 23 degrees C he said that would be nice and warm so Dean and Chizzy will be happy.
I like it warm it means we go out to wash windows more and we get to see all those nice people who sometimes give me treats.

My Pal Dylan Entry 6

Dylan is a good pal and does some funny things. He sleeps upside down.
Just look at him he looks so comfy and he is in Paula's place I was careful not to touch his feet when I walked past him. I did not want to wake him up.
Then he changed sides and ended up like this a real upside down chap.
Then he fell asleep like this. I can't be comfortable sleeping on that thing. He got fed up waiting to for dinner Dylan asked for it too early and Paula would not give it to him until it was dinner time.

This is me telling Colin and Paula that Dylan is outside and wants to come in.

'Come on Dylan wants to come in' They can be so slow sometimes I have to tell them to make sure they know Dylan is at the door. It is cold out there and Dylan hates the cold so I keep telling them when he is at the door.

When Dylan comes in he likes a cuddle with Colin to get warm again. He likes that and snuggles down to get comfortable. I have my blanket it is soft and really snuggly.

Play time Entry 5

 We went to a little park and had a lovely walk there.
I found something new look a nice big football that is soft for me to pick up.


Colin kicked it for me and I brought it back for another go. See the funny buildings in the back? mini humans called children play on them. It is much nicer chasing a ball.

Then I had a problem you see I took my red ball with me and now I had to choose which one to play with. My faithful red ball or my big new ball?
Where did it go?


I like the big ball you can shake it but I still love my red ball, but how do I get them both home?




 Paula helped out she picked up my red ball, problem solved I can carry home the big ball I am a lucky girl. I was allowed to take the big ball home with me so I can play with it again next time we go out.
