My week

Friday was very exciting. Mummy told me I was going on my holidays !  Whooo hooo.
I jumped into the car and off we went.  When we got to my hotel (Latchett's kennels) I ran off to my room straight away, leaving Mummy by the car.  She shouted "Bye bye Jack, see you on Sunday".  But I didn't even look back..... too excited to see what room I was in, and what my neighbours were like. Most are pretty noisy, which is fun, because then we can have a really good 'bark off'.
A couple of days later, and Ian (one of the hotel staff) came to get me saying "Mummy's here". But when I got to reception, it wasn't just Mummy. Daddy was there too !  Yeah ..... Daddy's home !!
I sat on Daddy's lap all the way home and had a lovely cuddle. When we got home Mummy gave me some tea, and I had a little nap. I really really wanted to keep talking to Daddy, but I was just sooooo tired. Need a nice little sleep, and then I'll be ok. 
I woke up sometime during the evening, and I seemed to be on my own. Mummy & Daddy had gone out ! Nice, thanks guys. Anyway, back to sleep.....
Next time I woke up it was the key in the front door. I was feeling much more awake, so I gave Mummy & Daddy a really good welecome home !  Daddy fed me a little bit of chocolate biscuit .... lovely to have him home !
Whilst I was in the hotel, I dreamt of being on 'vacation' again, this time in  .Rhode Island  .
Monday however saw Daddy packing that damn case again! Mummy reckons he's away til the weekend this time, so its just me and Mummy .... again.
Mummy whispered to me that Fri/Sat this week will be amazing. Daddy gets home ... this time for weeks. Anna, Simon & Maisie are visiting for lunch. And then .. AS & UD will be home ........ !!!  I really hope the rest of this week goes past really really really quickly !

On my travels

So, I'm still sulking that AS & UD are away.  It is sooooooooooo dull being at home with just Mummy.  She doesn't go to the fridge half as much as AS does, and is always going on about my 'big belly'.  Oh Mum, shut up about my belly!  I just need sausages. I'm a dog, its what I do.

I've been sooo bored, I decided to jet off to Boston in the good ole US of A and see some of the sights.
You can catch some of my holiday snaps here : Boston travels
Hope you like them !

Right, back off to see if I can look cute and/or pitiful, and persuade Mummy to open that ruddy fridge door....

I hate suitcases

My stitches were healing nicely and I was starting to feel much more lively (well, as lively as I get these days).

Then... this disgusting striped cat dared to enter my garden.   I belted out from the house and chased the little monster right up over the 6ft garden fence.  Well, the cat went up and over the fence. I was running so hard that I couldn't stop myself and ended up jumping a few inches off the ground, scrabbling up the fence.  I felt one of my stitches pop, but that didn't stop me!  I got rid of the cat !  Next thing, Mummy looks at my belly and she was not happy. Whoops.  She gave me a right old telling off, and told me I'd have to go to the Dog Dr again to check the stitch. So, off we go....... which is fine, because I got a ride in the car, and I like the Dog Dr.
When we got to the Dog Dr, he took one look at my stitches, and whipped them both out there and then !  Nice one Dr !  That felt sooooo much better.  And how good am I that I heal so quickly. Yeah me.  I  must admit I was so chuffed to have the stitches out, that I got a little over-excited and gave Dog Dr another glimpse of my 'little lipstick' (as Mummy so elegantly puts it).  I'm getting older you know.. I don't have the same level of control over these things as I used to.....

Just as I thought things could settle down again... AS & UD started to pack clothes into suitcases. I hate suitcases, because I know what it means when they come out of the wardrobe.  Somebody is leaving me..... normally its Daddy, but this time its AS &UD.  Mummy made me wave them off on Friday, but I made sure they got a good look at my most miserable 'hang-dog' expression before they left.  If they're leaving me for a few days, I'm not going look happy about it.... they need to know how upset I am.......  Mummy said they were off for the wedding of the lovely John & Julie.... well, I only hope John & Julie know how miserable I am. (But do hope they have a lovely day on the  13th)

Mummy tried to cheer me up by giving me a new pink teddy with a squeaky in it.!!  I'm sorry to say that it did work..... for a little while. But once I'd killed the squeaky, and ripped the teddy's belly open...... I was a bit out of puff and needed a break.. Then I remembered that I couldn't tell AS & UD about it..... *insert sad face again.
All this talk of travels makes me think that I should explore a bit more. Hmmmmm, where would I go ... ?
