The Spaniel Diaries
W
hat a month it’s been! I have been a very busy little spaniel indeed. We have been out and about taking advantage of the lovely weather we have had until now. Mum has been especially pleased with the fact that November was so dry we had no mud! The grass munching machines have been clean and dry and have not yet turned their field into a resemblance of a tank training ground! Mum is also pretty pleased that it means less housework too as we don’t end up redecorating the hallway with mud… I do enjoy wagging my tail and pebbledashing the walls, mum should really stop moaning and sell the results to an art gallery – after all, it’s unique and would give Banksy a run for his money. We also had the thing called Christmas. It was pawsome, me and Mav got lots of tasty yummy treats, Mav got lots of tennis balls. He’s totally welcome to those, I am far to regal to chase such things but with Mav being an idiot they keep him entertained and out of my hair. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas too! Speaking of hair, Mum has booked us in with the groomer – I am wholly unimpressed, I go to great lengths growing a thick winter coat and I love to leave white hairs lying around everywhere I have been – again watch out Banksy this is valuable art – and she goes and gets her groomer friend to give me a haircut and bath and make me smell like a girl! Mav puts up with it and doesn’t complain but then he is like a big girl himself! I shall make sure to find a really big dirty muddy puddle to take a dip in once this grooming session is over – Eau du ditchwater is my
favourite fragrance. We actually had a bit of the cold white flaky stuff since I last added to my diary. Mum actually loves the stuff and took us out for a play. Mav was goggle-eyed – he’s never seen snow before, Mum rolled some into a ball and threw it. Now, I have fallen for this in the past so I just ignored it, Mav, however, shot off after it and couldn’t understand how it fell to bits in his mouth! He rooted around for ages looking for another one! We had to go and see the vet man too to have our boosters, not something I enjoy at all but mum says it will help keep us healthy and seeing as she had a booster too – not at the vet’s I hasten to add, but at the people doctor – I thought I would put my brave pants on and not whimper and hide my face like I did last time! Mav was brave too and we also got a special sweetie which I was suspicious of but it stops us getting the little black itchy things on us so I thought I had better eat it. The vet also complimented us on how slim and fit we were (unlike mum but don’t tell her I said that!). Mum has found some really fun games for us to do inside while the weather is so vile; I absolutely love it and I have to say I’m much better at it than Mav! She hides treats around the house and it’s my job to go and sniff them out. This game makes me feel really happy and tires my brain out so I can have a nice snooze afterwards! Mav gets really excited and charges about like a bulldozer, I don’t know why he has to do everything at 100mph, probably trying to impress mum, but I know that I’m secretly her favourite!
