Strange Goings On

Well, things are very different today! Mum & Dad said their bed was very uncomfortable. I was fine - I had plenty of room, and my own beds to curl up on. I don't understand why Mum & Dad don't bring theirs as well. They wouldn't have a problem then.

Anyway, Dad took me out for my morning wee, and Mum had my breakfast ready when we got back. They went down for their Yummies, then Mum took me for a walk to Granny's. Dad was already there!

Everyone seems to be busy, and a little sad, so I am doing my duty looking after them.

Ups, Downs and Yacketying

Oakley world never ceases to be different! Today, I have tried to keep out of the way (not easy for a big lad like me inside a narrowboat!) while Mum and Dad packed tons of stuff into big bags, I've spent ages in another one of those so-called higher cars (this one is normal height too!), been into a boring shop where I met new fans, rode some more in the car, and arrived in Bournemouth again.

I went into Granny and Grandpa's flat and discovered no Grandpa, but Granny was there, along with Aunty Judy and Uncle John. I had my dinner and then sat patiently by the fridge to make sure I got my carrot for afters! It was a nice big crunchy one! Yummmm!

After human yummies, I took Mum, Dad, Aunty Judy and Uncle John for a nice freerun around the cliff-top area. They, of course, did loads of yacketying but I enjoyed a good run around, including a bit of a play with a husky.

Now we are in a hotel room with wibbly-wobbly-uppy-downy floor! It keeps tripping Mum up!

Not Impressed

Hmmm. Something's going on. Mum & Dad are getting busy, and it doesn't look like we are cruising. We shall have to see. I wonder if this has anything to do with them taking me to Pets at Home yesterday? I still can't believe they tricked me like that. Neither of them will let me have a wash in the river and then roll in the grass to put things right, either. Harummmmphhh. Not impressed.....

Gorgeous & Glorious!

Hmmmm! Not sure how much I can trust Mum anymore.

She told me I had a date with bubbles. I thought that meant I was going to meet a doggy pal named Bubbles. It turns out it was a trip to Pets at Home. 'Great!' I thought as we went in. Then we went into the room at the side. I went through a gate where Mum and Dad weren't allowed. 'How exciting!' I thought....... Then I discovered that Bubbles was not a doggy pal at all, but a serious attack of the frothy stuff, followed by an attack of a noisy fuffer, followed by another attack of a grooming weapon! And Mum and Dad had abandoned me to all of this! 

Actually, it was rather nice really - apart from the noisy fuffer. I really didn't like that, especially on my face. I went home with a slightly damp face instead.

When Mum and Dad came back for me, Mum said I smelled gorgeous! And Dad said I was gleaming gloriously! The lady remarked about me being a very happy dog! Well, hello! I am always gorgeous and glorious, and definitely happy!

Howling

We've been to the Human Howling place this morning. I like this one - we've been before, and they remember me! I think Mum's planning to take me to Pets at Home this afternoon, but she is also saying things like "bath" and "clean". No idea what she means. That's where she is supposed to get my treats. We shall have to see.......

Annie, Freeruns, Swimming and Yummies!

I've heard mention today of someone called Annie Versary. I haven't met this person, I'm sure we haven't had visitors, but yet Mum and Dad seem to see this person as special and important! I don't get it at all.

What I did get, though, after saying goodbyes to Debbi and Ryan, was some work guiding Mum into town again, some fuss and admiration from people in the shops, followed by a wonderful freerun, including a swim or several (heehee! Mum says she told me to stay out of the water - I didn't hear her......honest I didn't!)

After that, we went into one of those places with a big dark room, lots of seats and a big wall with moving pictures in it. The moving pictures had loads of little yellow poobag pods (like the one that used to be attached to my lead), that walked and talked and had funny eyes - some had one eye and some had two. Most peculiar! I enjoyed hoovering all the little white fluffy crunchy clouds from the floor though!

Then, after a brief detour to a big boring shop with no yummies, we headed back to the boat. Not for long though! I then walked Dad back into town to collect a bag full of human yummies. I had to endure the torture of that smell all the way home again. Mum very carelessly dropped a couple of funny white round crunchy disks. They were yummy but they got stuck to the roof of my mouth!

Visitor Upgrade

Huff. Debbi & Ryan have gone! However, Mum & Dad have said something about Annie Versary today. I have no idea who she is, but I am looking forward to meeting her soon. Dad also mentioned the Cinema. That means hoovering! Yay!!!! Think I might enjoy today after all......
