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.

GPS

The other day, Daddy bought a keyring GPS to measure how far I 'walk' compared with him. He bought it on eBay.

I wore it for the first time on our recent walk up Dow Crag and Coniston Old Man and the results show that I walked 3 times as much as Daddy on Walna Scar (open ground). Funnily enough, Evan Davis was on yesterday's Saturday PM programme on radio 4 saying the same thing. Overall I did 2 times as much from the start to Goat's Water. Daddy had to take it off then because of my love of swimming! It doesn't look as though you can download my route, which is a shame, but here is Daddy's. Notice the Brocken spectre at the top of the Old Man. Daddy got really excited when he saw this.

Reunions in the Lakes

I love reunions. It means I can make a fuss of my friends and they can make a fuss of me. And in the Lake District, it is even more special. Here are some of my favourite piccies.

I have just enjoyed a fortnight in the Lakes and done some more bagging. Here are my (longer) walks.
