Canal boats

I'm sorry I haven't posted for a few days but me, me, my human parents,human grand-parents and their black Labrador called Jessie went on a short holiday on a canal boat. All in all it was a very boring holiday I was forced too sleep for a large majority of it, that is I slept when I was trying to get Jessie out of my basket  or eating my food and my hu-mum wasn't dragging us all out on a "nice country walk" 
Anyway by day three I was starving from lack of food and ached all over from having to sleep on the floor and the humans were having a barbecue on the campsite the canal passed through and (please don't judge me for this) I jumped on the table which had all raw meat on it when the barbecue was starting and grabbed a burger and a sausage, and unforgettably knocked all the other the other meat onto the ground leaving only the veggie sausages which were only bought because they were five packs for a pound at Tesco. In fury the humans locked me inside the boat and wrestled the sausages off me but at least I got the burger.


Two hours later I was so bored I had taken watching the watching the humans having fun and throw away half-eaten veggie sausages, when finally my hu-mum opened the boat to let me out. I was so happy I galloped out of the boat and jumped over gap between the tow-path. Unfortunately I miss judged the jump (slightly!!!!!) and landed in the canal!!!!!
I couldn't breath the water was so cold and my swimming wasn't much better after what felt like three hours ,but it could of been two ,and then I was dragged on to the two path and towel-dried. But that wasn't the worst part, the worst part was that Jessie wouldn't let it go and teased me when she got the chance.

My date :(

It turns out that I am too old for first love.

I waited for him to take me to the park-so long it started to get dark. :(

When I met Freddie at my house(so we could walk together to the the park cafe) he was 20  minutes late, I however was very excited and got ready a full hour early!!!  When he FINALLY arrived we trotted to the cafe side by side. Then he stole a bacon sandwich and wouldn't share it with me, he said "it was my find, if you want your own go take it." I tried of course but the cafe owner yelled at me and went away. I was DEVASTATED but I decided to give Freddie one last chance.
After HE had HIS meal we went for a walk, we reached a small lake and he started SWIMMING in it!!!!! And then he told ME to SWIM in it. It was at that point I was aware it had to be over.  
You see I don't swim I am a purebred pedigree lowchen with crufts blood flowing through my veins, only mongrels swim and my first love cannot be a mongrel. So I went home and went to bed and thought about my day for a while and decided that I had simply passed the age for true love and now will have to spend my days chasing cats and scaring of postmen all alone. I'm aware it is a very lonely prospect but at least I won't have to SWIM!

Freddie!!!!

Today I decided to try my luck at romance, I'm to old not to have a boyfriend so When I saw a cute labrador-cross in the park I decided that he would my first love.
I went and introduced my self and he's called Freddie. I just absolutely LOVE the name Freddie and when I have puppies one(if not two) of them will be called Freddie. Freddie is so sweet and charming and our owners are very good friends they walked around the park together so Freddie and I had a long  conversation and THIS evening we are going on a DATE!!!!!!! to a dog show.
I'll tell you what happens later!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!! :)

Cats

Personally I hate cats. They always steal my basket so I have no choice but to chase them-which actually most dogs like me find very entertaining. By nature I'm a very optimistic dog and I just know that someday I will catch one. I'm not to sure what i will do with it when I catch it, I'll just see how it goes. The problem is, however, that my oh so strict hu-mum doesn't like me chasing cats, they yell at me and sometimes don't give me scraps of food :(
So to all dogs like me I have a solution , if like me you live with a cat(I live with 2, worst luck) then ignore them and let them dominate your owners attention(or most of it) then your owners wont put you on your lead the moment you meet a strange cat leaving you to run and chase it!!!!
If you don'tn live with a cat then count your blessings even though you can't ever really chase one.


How NOT to chase a cat-What ever you do don't do what this dog just did.

Happy chasing to all my furry four legged-friends!!!
