My 6th Birthday and Christmas as Well

I expect you have been waiting to hear about my birthday which was on the Winter Solstice that is a day that is very short.

Here I am being important on my rock at the park.

Charlotte was there and we played for a bit.

I am waiting for her to stop itching herself.

She itched herself for a long time.

Just by my house we saw Fatty looking at us.

Then I had a little lie-down on Mum and Dad's bed.

Then my good friend Knutty came over.

And we saw them decorate the tree that is not very big this year.

Then we acted crazy - mostly Dad.

Yesterday a parcel came with my name on it.

There was a card too.

It came from Alabama which is not round here.

Here is me with my stuffed elephant that squeaks and my plastic bone.

As you can see, my birthday was good.

 This is holly with berries and rain on it that we saw yesterday.

It is soon going to be Christmas. So I hope you have fun and get a lot of presents.

Old Friends

I expect you have been waiting to see a picture of my good friend Knutty. Well, here are three.

In this one you can see my nose too.

In this one he is looking down.

In this one he is looking up.

This is a good photo of Biggie.  He is still Big, but that is what he looks like. C'est la vie.

Here is his brother Buddah and Charlotte's rear end and Flash looking a bit concerned what Buddah is going to do next.

Flash has a lot of good expressions....

like Atticus does.

Here is me with my posse

and just me (with Olive and Charlotte in the background) and yes, I will get my hair cut when it gets warmer. But it does not get warmer round here and there is no sign of spring except some snowdrops that are flowers and snow drops out of the sky. Haha.

I hope it is warmer where you live and that you are having fun.

My Family and Other Animals*

* I know this is the title of a book, but it is a good title.

Anyway, this is morning and I am licking Dad's plate that he had a muffin on.

My sister came to stay from England and came to the park with me every day.

When Knutty climbed up the steps on the way to the park she talked to him.

When we got there, Baby Lily was there drinking out of the drip in the wall.

And Roxy and Samson and other Lily

This is Mimo that was like the picture of the dog

he is friends with Roxy too. People asked if I was in a video, and Mum made some of me

 and Roxy but it looked like we were in a big fight so she will have to try again some other time.

Today it is raining and there was no one at the park except me, so we came home.

Fatty and Other People

There was a lot of fuss about the storm, but mostly all I noticed where lots of branches

on the ground and a lot of Fatties hanging about spying on me from the trees and making their usual gibbering sort of noise. I have taken the color away from this one.

I have never ever caught a Fatty, and perhaps I never will. They are the bane of my life.

But on to better things. Knutty is home.

We went round his house this morning so he could come to the park with us.

Louie was there

and Milo who has just got a human baby sister

and Sid who had a ball today, not his Snapple bottle

and a little one that is a cockerpoo like Professor Joba, but you can see this one's eyes.

this is not-Joba and someone fluffy sitting on the bench.

That is all for now.

A Quiz and a Paper Bag and Hodges is Back

Do you know who

this strange creature is*? I will let you know later on.

Hodges got the paper bag that Mum brings plastic bags to the park in.

He was very pleased with himself and ripped it to bits.

Then Hughie wanted some of the bag and chased him.

Then Hughie got some of it.

You probably guessed. That is me* at the top with my new haircut.

 Hodges' mum thinks I look nice.

This is me and Deniz at home. I'm pulling on what is left 

of Bi-polar, a polar bear Dexter sent me two years ago that is now in two bits. 

This is me and the dragon Knutty gave me last week.

 It is still in one bit but I ate the stuffing out of it.

I hope it is not so hot by you as it is here.

Stuck Indoors

It is cold.When we are going to go out, it takes Mum ages 

and ages to put on all the stuff she needs to wear.

Mostly we stay home and do nothing. Here I am on the ottoman.

Here I am on the sofa.

When Mum is not in her chair, I am in it.

They put a program on TV for me. It was about a dog show

but they probably wouldn't let me be in a dog show because I do not have papers, 

so I lost interest.

We went over to Knutty's house for a bit. 

This is him on his sofa.

 Because they were sorry I was bored this afternoon, 

they let me demolish the Fresh Direct cardboard box.

They said we could call it Debris Field #999.

You can just see little bits of it. They are on the floor.

I hope things are more thrilling by you.

ps: Mum's friends at CSN Stores wanted her to mention adjustable bar stools so lots of people can buy them for their houses. This is a commercial announcement. I heard that on TV. It sounds very important.
