Chapter 4 . . . car rides

After the Fight Club waste of time, we settled into a nice little routine. I got to take them out on walks at least twice a day, and they kept me out of eating range of any other dog. Everybody happy !

Mummy and Daddy were still determined to get me used to going in the car for some reason, despite the fact that I continued to throw up within 20 minutes. The Dog Doctor gave me some pills which I had to take an hour before a car ride. They worked pretty well actually, I was able to go on a few trips. The only downside, which didn't bother me at all, was that 24 hours after taking the pills, my backside was pretty dangerous. Well, they want me in the car, they have to pay - one way or another !
We went in the car one day and after a while Mummy looked out the window and said "Look Jack, that's where Daddy met you for the first time and brought you home". I had a quick look, but we were driving fast on a big road and everything flew past too quickly. All I could see was some sort of building called "Services", but I couldn't read any more. Mummy said something to Daddy about that being the closest I would get to my 'old life'. All I know is that we ended up driving to a place called LLanelli in Wales, which according to my map is down the M4 past Cardiff, which rings a bell . . . . . .

Anyway, car rides became quite a regular thing and over the course of time I got much much better at them, and don't even need my pills anymore !
I like our car because I can see out of the windows really well, being slightly short (well, terrier short). I really like to breathe heavily on the windows, and rub my wet nose all over them. That makes a lovely mess on the window, and makes me laugh. At one time Daddy had a van for his work, and that was great fun. I loved to jump into the front seat and drive round with him in the van. Although the seats were quite slippy and Daddy had to catch me now and then if we went round a corner ! There's a picture on my slideshow of me sitting in the back of Daddy's van! Ready for work Daddy !!

Bathed again . .. plus Jack's travels x 3

Well, I had a bath on Thursday. To be honest, it was about time, because I was more stinky that my butt . .. . so really really stinky !
Now I smell like rose petals - which is better I guess, but not very manly (dogly).
Mummy keeps saying stuff about Daddy coming home, so despite myself, I really am starting to get a bit excited now !

I should point out for those that don't know, my Daddy is coming home, not coming out of prison or anything ! He works away for 6 months at a time (which feels like 3 and a half years to me ) in the Falkland Islands. That's a place that Mummy says is too far away from the UK for him to come back at weekends. So I guess its quite far. . . Geography isn't my strong point !

But talking of Geography and maps of the World,Jack's travels have moved on again. I'm now going to settle into the life of Bora Bora, which I gather is pretty much food and drink and relaxing - all of which sound pretty good to me !
I know its a place for honeymooners, so I hope any honeymooners have a really lovely time there.
Hmmmmmmm, I wonder where AS & UD are . . .. . not seen them for a while . .. . .

G'day Melbourne !!

Hope you enjoy the blog. Is it upside down when you look at it ?? I'm not very technical .. well I am a dog !

We had a powercut in the street on Sunday. Mummy was out at work all day, and then as soon as she'd come back and dealt with the important business of the day - namely my walk and my food - the power went off.
So we both sat in the garden and had a nice cuddle in the evening sun. Lovely !


Mummy keeps whispering to me something about 'Daddy at the weekend', which I refuse to get excited about. . . but if its true. . . My Daddy is coming home soon !!!! Yaaaaaaay. Woof woof, that's exciting news !
