Oops a bit late - Happy Christmas!

Woof Woof!

I'm a bit late with this year's festive photo - Mum and Dad have been far too busy - prioritising that work stuff over blog writing, tsk tsk!

Anyway, it's been a busy year, as you can see - fell asleep during this year's photo session, oh well, it's hard work being this cute, still, time spent dreaming of chicken dinners is always time well spent..... zzzzz...

White Stuff and Spring Flowers

Woof Woof!

Went for a walk in the forest last week and much to my surprise the world was covered in that cold white stuff. Which was a bit confusing because the buds were on the trees and the spring flowers were trying to bloom and it is April after all, must be something to do with that global warming thingy. Still, had lots of fun jumping about in it and Mum and Dad bought a sledge on the way home which was a little optimistic as by the time we did get home there was no snow left, but that's parents for you (good job I'm the brains of the operation, should have spent the money on chicken, sigh).

My Sicilian Dogfather

Latrato! Latrato!

That's woof! woof! in Italian, don't ya know.

Here's a picture of me with Uncle Anthony my Sicilian godfather. He's not at all scary, never mumbles about sleeping with the fishes or any thing like that, more likely to take the fishes out for a cocktail and spin them around the dancefloor till 6am.

I don't see Uncle Anthony very often cos he lives in San Frandisco and apparently that's a long way away and you need to get on one of those plane thingies that i'm not allowed on, but we all have lots of fun when he does come over, lots of fun, i mean lots of fun - Anthony is very very good at having fun. Dad says he tries to lead him astray, Mum reckons he doesn't need much help and i don't care as long as the having fun involves lots and lots of chicken and cuddles!

Woof Woof!

It's that time of year again.....the time when i have to humiliate myself in front of Mum's camera for the purposes of wishing the world a Happy Christmas.

This year's theme is "I just happen to have popped out of a present on a snowy Christmas morning, Surprise!" which actually would have been convincing if there'd been any chicken in that damned box - she could keep me wrapped up all year if it was a box full of chicken.

And what do you think i got for my troubles? A couple of gravy bones, to which i am rather partial, admittedly, but 2 little gravy bones for a model of my experience - i'm definitely going to have to put my rates up next year.

Happy Christmas Everyone, have a lovely dinner (ummm dinner yummmy)

Take me to the Bridge.....!!!

Woof Woof!

In the words of James Brown ... although i don't really understand why Mr Brown wanted to go to the Bridge (maybe there was roast chicken on the other side.....?)

Here's a photo of yours truly with Bobby and Megan's Dad!!!! I think he read my post "what's wrong with this picture" realised i wasn't happy at being left behind and drove his bus all the way to London just to see me.

Unfortunately, in his hurry to drive down and waggle my ears (can't beat a good ear waggling) he forgot to bring Bobby, Megan and little Gemma, so i still haven't met them all, crumbs, how forgetful is that!

The Big Red Bear Bus Flies Again!

Woof Woof!

For the more regular readers of my postings to the world wide woof, this will be something of interest, what's that hanging beneath the balloons?

A car.

Not just any old car mind, that my furry friends is the original Big Red Bear Bus (TM).

You may recall i mentioned in my posting about the new bear chariot, that someone had taken the old Red Bear Bus away to make it fly, and there it is. Now i know that it's not red anymore, but that's only because everyone knows the Bear Bus is red, and they'd have got loads of complaints from animal rights groups etc. - people would understandably get worried about seeing it at such a crazy angle, they might think that i was still in it!

I was in the pub watching the England match and enjoying some light refreshment with my crisps when suddenly, at half time, there it was on sky sports tv, our old Bear Bus starring in an advert for Ford Mondeos mind you, that was the high point of the evening as England were rubbish again (as usual..)

What's wrong with this picture........?????

Woof Woof!

Take a close look there's something missing from this photo...... not sure? - let me give you a few clues, the upright in the middle is my Dad and who could that handsome pair he's holding be...........??? - if you haven't got it by now you having been paying enough attention to my marvellous blog because that delightful duo is Bobby and Megan - so what's wrong with the photo ......? I'M NOT IN IT!!!!!!!!! - Mum and Dad drive 200 miles `oop north' (on the pretext of that work thingy that uprights reckon they have to do) and left me at home!!!- so they got to play bally and run round the garden with Bobby and Megan(and little gemma....growl) and i didn't. I had to stay with a smelly cat called Maya who trapped me in her kitchen, i was just trying to sneak off to the living room with her cat bowl (always good for a few crumbs of cat food) when she rumbled me at the kitchen door and blocked my escape. Luckily, a metal cat food bowl makes a handy shield when needed so i got away with it.

Mind you, it wasnt all bad as bobby and megans folks gave me a chewy toy, which is great fun but i think i'm going to have to totally destroy it in double quick time just so that A. it doesn't look like i've been bought off. and B. so they'll take me oop north next time.

I really can't believe that they had the cheek to go visit MY friends and leave me behind. (sulk sulk)

Oh yes, i'll be expecting an extra helping of chicken for tea to make up for this....grrr...

now where did i leave it.... (saunters off)
