Camping in Whitby

This was quite an experience - not least as we were in the tent listening to the gentle rain when  a huge clap of thunder came from nowhere followed by lightening overhead.  They got me out quick into the safety of the car where we stayed until it passed.  Nice views from here though and lots of exciting walks - even a dog friendly pub, the Victoria which I can recommend.

We had a picnic at Robin Hood's Bay below and I had a sausage.

Boat trip

I am getting used to the boat and my owners for now keep me in my cage whilst going along in case I unwittingly step overboard until I am used to it.

This is us near the locks.

Norfolk 2012

This was good as I was allowed to stay in the hotel but as you can see it was full of snow everywhere.

Christmas 2011

Weather has turned very cold - a bit brass monkeys I can tell you, compared to what I am used to.

Well  the cat has nicked my bed - what does a dog do? as I have to watch my Ps and Qs with the cats, I know, rather than a confrontation I will borrow hers - a bit of a tight squeeze but it will have to do.

My first camping experience

I thought I would try camping - so far so good at a place called Wing in Leicestershire.  Although I keep out of the way during the day in my car, I am allowed in the tent later and at night (that's me there in my cage).  Lots of nice walks around here and I can highly recommend as a dog friendly place.


This is me walking at Rutland Water - a bit dry due to the drought.

My first holiday in Scotland

Well this is novel - a very long drive but now that I have my own car that's not a problem - I even jump into it without being asked.

Mind you, these walks are making me knackered - I know I like them but twice a day and a long one in the middle - not sure if my legs can cope.  Lots of different smells though and I have a spanking new harness attached to my lead so I can lift up my head and look all around me.  People often comment on my ears but they are not that bad are they?

Anyway, yawn, this is what I do most days and I am already drifting off to one of my favourite pastimes, sleeping....Goodnight!ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

My New Home

Well I moved to Leicester on 6 March to my new home.

For those who don't know me, I was rescued from Spain, Lanzarote actually where I lived on a roof and I would like to thank Nick and Lesley for making my rescue possible to the UK via Germany and a big thanks to SARA for taking me in.  I came with my own passport, microchip, vaccinations etc and I think I have adapted quite well.  I am a bit wary of other dogs though as I do walk an awful lot these days and they are bloody everywhere.  In fact I find it quite challenging much to the dismay of my new owners.  I am also quite partial to people who jog past and cycle by on the nearby Meadows where I walk regularly.  I am game for anything really that adds to my new experiences and more recently have developed a penchant for cars - yes cars, trying to chase them!



I have to say I didn't expect 5 cats and 2 rabbits but no other dogs either as I did live with half a dozen or so others at my foster home in Long Clawson.  Most of the cats are OK apart from one, Oscar, who went for me on day one.  What can I say,  I know I have short legs but really the humiliation still hurts!  Our paths rarely cross but the others are a soft touch really, winding round me at every opportunity but Oscar remains a challenge, especially when I chase him in the garden but lately he is standing his ground so one cool cat and I have learned not to chase him.  That's him in the photo:
