Fine wine in Balham

My gran in Scotland gave ML this gift last year as a graduation present:



Although we won't get many glasses of wine (possibly one) I like to view the vines and I enjoy short naps in the sun:

My Houdini moment....

So today after the breakfast club when I play with my doggy friends ML planned to quietly sneak out to Pets at Home (payment for advertising and to recoup some of the spending gratefully received) while I had other plans.

Foolishly she looked at my sleepy face and after removing my collar (for safety reasons) was distracted enough to only close one of the catches. You know where this is going ........

When she returned she was pleased that with her ear to the front door there was silence (I wasn't crying). Once inside she was surprised to find a tee shirt at the top of the stairs (she is very observant and did not remember seeing that). Rushing into the kitchen she saw an empty crate!

Me? I was in the bathroom playing with the bottle of facial toner (it's important to look after your skin). I had made myself a comfortable bed of towels and did not hear her come home. Thank goodness there were no surprises of the wet kind and that I had only knocked over the books in the bedroom and that Maisie was asleep in the living room. She'll never know what we were up to......

This picture is to remind her to use the crate sensibly.

I like to sleep.....

... on my cushion:

... on the sofa:

... on a towel:

... in the sun:

... next to someone:

With Gemma, a cushion and on the sofa:

But most of all on a body (cropped to protect the guilty):

I don't like the rain!

And it seems very unfair to take my picture as I shiver. Please take me home and if I have to go outside buy me a jacket.

After a run

I don't think I need to say anything else.

A new bed from Crawley

We visited Jack and Tony in Crawley today. In their garden (which isn't accessed by steep death steps - ML and Gem please note) I chased Zach and Molly held my lead. Although Tony insisted on watering the grass after I peed (strange) he did leave lots of bread out for me ... tasty but a bit dry!

In the afternoon I walked into town (not on my own of course) and spent lots of money (again not my money) on a new bed for the living room (to save the constant moving of my bed), a black coat (I get very cold), and a strange spray that blows out air - I will be scared the first couple of times but will soon ignore that!

I love my new bed x

My first car journey sitting on my own....

...and don't I look cute?



We went to visit a doggy day care person .... so many dogs, so little space, such a big television and too much mess! We won't be returning!

I was very good in the car and look forward to going to the beach. Please take me to play in water.....

Legal notice:
Although it is not a law (as far as we are aware and it has never been mentioned on Law & Order) I was wearing a doggy seat belt purchased on ebay. All views expressed here belong to Scout and are fictional-ish).

A Walk on Wandsworth Common .....

Today we went for a walk on Wandsworth Common. I met a big Vizsla and a Weimaraner with a very trendy collar! After playing on the grass we walked back to the car ......



... I was tired and even after some persuasion:



... I had to be carried home. My legs are still quite short!
