Self Care is so Important

Boris says

We're back home after the most amazing holiday and back to walking on our favourite common once more

The holiday was to give mum some much needed respite from caring for her own mother since her stroke in April

It's been a very stressful time since it happened and has been making mum

Mum Update

I've been taking some much needed time for myself this week and feel so much better for a few days back at East Wittering with the two crazy boys and Himself

 

This getting old lark isn't much fun

A Mini Break

Last weekend we finally managed to get a quick overnight trip to East Wittering, it's been two years since we last had a day out at the beach, what with being in lockdown for 2020 because of Covid and my mum having a stroke in April of this year

Boris was so exited when he realised we were packing up to go away in the camper van, he kept zooming around the house, barking and getting in everybodies way, the beach is probably his most favourite place of all time to visit

 

 Eko on the other hand took it all in his stride and sat watching Boris with a confused look on his face, probably because he's only been away to

Smile it's the Weekend {21}

Last week I was jumping for joy but couldn't say why.

The reason I couldn't say was, we were going away in the House on Wheels. We've not been away in it for ages and ages, mummy says it's 18 months. I'm not sure what she means by that, it's either a long time or a short time in my head.
I wasn't allowed to say anything as mummy didn't want any "Bad People" to know that the house would be empty for a couple of days.

I was so impatient to get going and wanted to drive, but my silly paws on my silly short legs don't reach the pedals, but I did have the important job of warming up the seat ready for daddy.

Then disaster !!!
The battery was deader than a dead thing that's dead, they only went and put everything back in the car to go home again, I was not best pleased, I didn't want to hear about the hoomans problems, I just wanted to get going!!!!

I refused to get out of the House on Wheels, I wanted to go to the Seaside, I did my best to resist but was picked up rather rudely and lifted into the car.

Oh the humiliation of such treatment!!!

Home we went, then out they went to buy the new battery. Mummy was in shock, it cost £153.60 for a new one. Don't know why they was moaning about it, at least we could go now.

But No;

  I was made to wait until the next day.
Eventually we got to the campsite but it was pouring with rain, all I could do was gaze out the window at the Seagulls, not a lot else was happening.

Eventually the sun came out and I was able to go out and inspect the pitch, it was very wet. Daddy had parked on the road so the wheels didn't sink and get stuck so I had a huge area to play in. 



Whilst daddy set about giving the House on Wheels a really good wash, it was covered in loads of green mould from being left or ages, I took mummy for a walk.

I galloped off to the dog  field, but when I looked around mummy had gone!
OMP I'd lost mummy, why didn't she keep up with me, she knows she must always stay where I can see her now that I can't hear very well.

The thought of never seeing her again was so scary, I started to worry when suddenly I met a lady who said she knew who my mummy was and would help me to look for her, by this time mummy had been missing for about 20 minutes.

We started walking back to the campsite, when we saw mummy coming towards us, I was so pleased to see her, I ran straight up to her and gave her a good scolding for wandering off like that. From now on I think she'll have to stay on the lead in new places as we might not find her next time.

When we got back, daddy had a surprise for me, he'd found a massive Chewy in the garage area of the House on Wheels. Here I am sitting in the doorway so that any passing pups can see just how lucky I am.

After I'd had my Dinner I felt so pooped out with all the excitement, I just crashed out for the rest of the evening.





We had the most pawsome time away, it's just so great to be out and about again.

Hope you all have a pawsome weekend too.

Ice Cream and Camping

There's nothing like a large 99 ice cream to cool this pup down on a hot day when out camping with the hoomans.

Here I am keeping a close eye on daddy whilst he gets my treat for me on our latest camping trip.

I used to just have the end of the cone with a tiny bit of ice cream, but as the years have gone on I've started to get more and more until now I get the whole ice cream and cone. The only bit I'm not allowed is the chocolate flake, cos mummy says it'll make me ill, I think it's cos she likes to eat it herself.

 When I'm at home every time I hear the ice cream van melodies I gets so excited to make sure the hoomans know when it's outside, so they can go out and get me one.

I sure am one lucky pup.

Now lets see who else is smiling this weekend :o)

Jackanory Part Nine

Gosh it has been a long time since I last updated my Jackanory story. 

**thinks**

We had just been away on my very first Daft Adventure, and I had finally learnt that other dogs could be friendly **breathes sigh of relief**.

That Summer we went away many times in the House on Wheels, I became firm friends with a Rhodesian Ridgeback pup called

Pin-Up Puppy

Yesterday mummy came home with a brand new Red Collar for me. I think it makes me look very smart and dapper **does a twirl in front of mirror** Hope the ladies can keep their paws to themselves when the see me in it BOL. 

Gosh I'm Handsome

I think it shows my Help for Heroes tag off very nicely.

Some of you may be wondering why such an old pup as myself has a bright new collar?

Rain Didn't Stop Play for Long

Just had a very wet weekend away with the hoomans, we were late getting away as the house on wheels had something called a puncture and the wheel was flat. I was going to help daddy fix it, but he seemed to have everything under control, with a noisy box that blew the tyre up and mended the puncture.

He can be pretty clever for a hooman my daddy, he always sorts any problems out to do with my transport whilst me and mummy supervise what he is up too.

Although this time, I decided I'd be better off inside and out of the rain, so I was ready for the off when things were finally sorted out.

A Puppy's Guide to Camping

Now Himself is feeling lots better since his operation it must be nearly time to go away in our House on Wheels, it seems so long ago since we last had a trip away in it.

As it has been so long I had better give Himself some reminders of what needs doing when we gets on site. Cos these hoomans are rubbish at remembering stuff.

First things first, make sure my bed is in a comfy spot,  although I only uses it during the day because if I whines enough...

Look where I get to sleep, you have to climb a ladder to get to the
