Quinn

Hi Everybody

I hope you all had a great festive period. I know I did.

What I would like to do is introduce you to some of my friends in a series of blogs. All the dogs that I talk about are wonderful. You can take it from me that they all have great hoomans and I am very proud to have them as my bestest friends.

This is Quinn. He does upholstery. That is why he has that little bit of foam in his mouth in the picture. So if you need your sofa unstuffing or fancy having your cushions resculptured, let me know and I will send you his business card.

Quinn was born 25/05/11. He lives with 4 other dogs in Essex. He does gun dog training but I am not sure I would trust him with a rifle! He loves his toys lots but does not let his brothers & Sisters near them. He loves them but not that much! He is very boisterous and has chewed his way through the house. A bookcase, a chair arm, house plants, wiring and the dustpan & brush have all been Quinned at some point!

But now he is in love. The only snag is that his gal lives about 600 miles away in Inverness. They have met but the relationship in mainly online. Rather like me & Henry.

This is Quinn with Daisy (his Inverness beauty)

As you can see, they are so happy together. I will tell you more about Daisy in a later blog.

Quinn has learnt lots from the other dogs. He collects all of their bones (I think he must like tidying up for his Mum!) but he forgets to tell them where he has put them. What a forgetful puppy he is!

He is a little bit stressed at the moment as his Mum is abroad on business but we all know she loves him loads and misses him as much as he misses her.

Quinn is great fun and I am really glad I know him. 

Love ya Quinny xxx

Bye Bye 2011 and Bye Bye Cyd

I hope all you peeps had a wonderful Christmas.

Ours was fairly quite. As usual, most of Christmas day seemed to be spent in the car travelling between family members and also our trip to the crematorium.

Christmas, this year was slightly sad as we lost one of the members of our family. Cyd died just before Christmas. She was a Cornsnake. She was the first corn that Dad had ever had. She was very mild mannered and loved being handled as long as she knew who it was who was doing it. I was never allowed to close to her (or any of the others) but I saw there many times with Dad and the kids as they grew up. Ben (who is now 16 and about to join the army) always called Cyd his snake and he was particularly hit by her death. Mum and Dad's eldest grandkid (Nyle) also loved handling Cyd and his love of all our snakes is because he felt comfortable with her. RIP Cyd.

NYLE & CYD

I hope you all have a wonderful time over the new year and that 2012 is really good for you and all my anipals out there.

Happy Xmas to all my readers

This will be my last blog before the big day. So I would just like to wish all of my readers a wonderful Christmas.

I hope you have all that you can wish for. 

I hope that after Xmas I can introduce you to some of my friends. A special Xmas lick to all my friends on Twitter (Lilly, Daisy, Tora, Hector, Billy, Quinn, Tilly) and, of course, to Henry. You are all very special to me.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Hot Stuff (Part 3)

I hope you have all enjoyed my comments about the Adonis that is Henry. I am sure that you will agree that he is a very special dog. Our relationship is also special. The intense conversations we have are so exciting. Henry says that since he met me has can't sleep because he is just waiting for our next chat.

Some doubters have asked how a suave sophisticated gentleman from the big city has anything to do with a northern girl like me. I just smile and tell them that once you have had a Yorkshire lass, you never look back

I LOVE YOU, HENRY

Hot Stuff (Part 2)

I don't know much about Henry's past. I have asked about to see if there are any skeletons in his cupboard but all I hear are good things. His Mummy says he is an angel but she would!. Some people say that he used to be "a bit of a lad" and he was a fancy dresser. Some say he even had a perm once but I can't believe that.

But I don't care what people say about him. I know his heart belongs to me now and that he would never even look at another bird

Hot Stuff (Part 1)

This is my fella.

His name is Henry and he lives in London. Which makes him really important. I think he must run the country or something. That's what happens in London. I have heard that London is bigger than Rovram (but I am yet to be convinced)

We met on the tinterweb. We both tweet a bit too much. When I first laid eyes on him, it was love at first bite. He has muscles in his drool. We haven't actually met yet but we is in love. His Mum is very protective of him but I am sure I can charm him away from her and we can be together for ever. 

Henry says that when he was growing up, he only ever thought about food but now that he has met me, he never even looks at food because he is thinking of me all of the time.

I will tell you more about Henry in my next blog. If I write too much about him at once I get a bit faint!

I am one lucky dog

Just a bit of history about me. I used to belong to my Dad's son in law (Phil). He has a goshawk and a falcon and does all the proper hunting and stuff with them. I was trained to work with him and the goshawk and to do all the pointing for them. It was hard work and we used to go miles but I was good at it.

Then Phil and his wife (Sarah) had puppys. First came Nyle and then Nieve. Phil was very busy at work and I was not getting worked as much so I was spending a lot of time in the house with the mini peeps.

Then Mum & Dad lost Millie (who I introduced to you in an earlier blog). Everyone was sad. Even me because I used to see Millie a lot. Mum & Dad wanted to get another dog and Sarah & Phil thought it would be best for everyone, if I went to live with them.

It was great because I didn't have to work and I now get spoilt. I still see Phil, Sarah and the mini peeps lots but I is always glad when we get in the car to go home 'cause I don't want to work anymore. I love the lazy life.

So, I think I am a very lucky pup to have had a second chance and to be enjoying an early retirement!

This is me and Nyle. He's cool
