I'm 5 today!

Hello everyone!  I'm 5 today.  Does that make me middle aged?  Daddy made a fuss of me this morning but it's a wet day and I fear I am not going for long walks.  At least we haven't got the floods.  However, I am excited because it's Christmas tomorrow and I am hoping for lots of pressies.  I will be visiting lots of people in Newbury and Cambridge.  I will try and behave but it's difficult when I am so happy and love seeing people!!!

Lakes walking weekend in November 2012

I do look forward to this annual get-together when I can show off to all my friends. This year, we went to Ennerdale and did some walking in a very remote part of the Lake District because I need to bag a few Wainwrights there. On the way, we did a short walk on Whitbarrow.

Hadrian's Wall

Just come back home after walking Hadrian's Wall in 6 days. The best bit was not the wall but the Vallum that runs alongside it - full of water, ahah! Oh, and the bus rides - I met lots of friendly people, one of whom said I must be the world's happiest dog - I'm chuffed. We stayed at Quarryside in Banks - very dog-friendly.

My new game

Here is my latest activity - catching a ball while jumping into the wagon wash. Great fun! Just to show you it wasn't a fluke, here are 3 catches!

Lakes in Aug & Sep 2012

Back in the Lakes again.  Working party had to be supervised and Daddy had to be walked.  It's a hard life.  My two main walks can be seen here.  Apart from a tricky descent off Glaramara, these were very good, with plenty of tarns to visit!

Fleas.....arghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Have you noticed how many fleas there are this year? They have been driving me crazy. My usual Frontline has not got rid of them and I had to see my doctor yesterday to get some Comfortis tablets - flippin' marvellous, they are! I'm no longer scratching and I can concentrate on what I am good at. They also gave Daddy a tin of Acclaim. He's got some work to do vacuuming and spraying the house. I don't envy him.

The Lakes in June 2012

I went up to the Lake District for a quick trip this time. It was very wet, but who cares? I love it. Here are two longer walks I did:

I'm 4!

Hello to all my fans!  Have a very happy New Year.  I was so busy over Christmas that I have neglected to tell you about my birthday.  It was on Christmas Eve and I am now 4 years old.  You will be pleased to know that I have not slowed down very much and I am still enjoying life as much as ever.  I got some chews for my birthday which have nearly gone.  For Christmas, I got lots of treats and some more floating balls on a rope as Daddy keeps on losing them.

I can't understand the weather we are having.  This time last year, there was a lot of snow and I haven't seen any yet.  I am very disappointed and I am sometimes too hot.  I hope it snows soon.
