Only 14 days to go until the Dog Holiday!



Ernie - don't be fooled by his happy appearance, he has "Springer Rage!"



I’m looking forward to seeing my good friend Ernie on Friday, we are having a pre-holiday play date.

We are going on our ‘Dog Holiday’ to Llandrindod Wells, it will be Me along with My Mum and Dad and Ernie (The Springer Spaniel) with his Mum and Dad!

I’m really looking forward to it, it’s going to be so much fun!!

See Last year’s holiday http://theadventuresofthetank.blogspot.com/2010/10/wattles-at-lawpit-lodges.html it was amazing, have a look!!

PS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY NANNA - MAMMA LEESA!!!!

Sleepy Sundays ....

It's officially Autumn now and all I want to do is curl up, snuggle on my blanket and hibernate, I just love sleepy Sundays don't you?

When is Daddy Home??

I look out of the window to see if I can see Dad, he has gone to Football (Soccer to you American Pug Friends) and I’m missing him!!!

Last day with Jasper!

Back over Nanna Moyna’s to see Jasper before he goes back home to Pembroke, we had a little play together in the garden even though it was a bit wet and drizzly …

Then we went inside to play with each other, nice and dry in Nanna Moyna's warm house.

…then had lots of licks and (P)hugs!

Awwwwww we are so cute!

Then we sat together for a while feeling sad that we won’t see each other for a while!

I hope that I see Jasper before Christmas, I love spending time with him but he has to go home now!

Video Wednesday - Frank and his Dummy!

Frank and his Dummy!
(Sorry the video is a bit dark - and sorry Daddy for chewing it to bits!)

Hide and Seek!

I play hide and seek from Mum and Dad then decide to have a little nibble on Dads flowery shorts.

I try and hide in Dads fold over clothes drawer - then I smell his shorts so have a nibble and try to drag them out to play with them.

Caught red handed by Mum – Ooops!

Check out my ears, it’s how I look when I get shocked, it’s like I’m gunna fly away! Ha,Ha,Ha!!

Mum and Dad are going to Paris!!

(The Eiffel Tower at Night, Paris France)

Dad won a competition with radio station Capital FM for two nights in Paris, France in a 4 * hotel with £500 spending money and £300 shopping in a French Department store with a personal shopper!!!

Mum and Dad are really happy and extremely excited, Dad said it will be their official honeymoon and he couldn’t think of spending it anywhere else as it is the most romantic city on earth! Swoon! I’m not a happy Puggy though because I’m going to be staying at home, it’s the first time I will be away from Mum and Dad EVER!!! Luckily both Sam (Mum of Ernie) and Nannie Carina have kindly volunteered to look after me while they are away but I’m still feeling sad about it all, I'm going to miss them like crazy and I think they are sad and going to miss me too because I got to sleep in their bed all night last night with them and got lots of Phugs and kisses!

Sunny on Saturday!

Saturday was nice and sunny so Mum took me for a really long walk.

I saw a crab apple tree and tried to eat some of the fallen apples but they did not taste nice!

It was so warm that when I saw the stream I had to go in for a drink and a little doggy paddle.

Having a little drink.

A little doggy paddle to cool my paws.

Time to get out now.

Running down to the fishing ponds with the wind in my ears!

The fishing Ponds.

Looking for some fish in the ponds.

No fish to be seen!

Sniffing the grass and playing in the mud.

Looking for fish in the big lake, but sadly there was no fish swimming by....

But there was a big red dragonfly come to say hello to me!!

Whats News Jasper??

Last night Mum surprised me and we went to see my cousin Jasper (or Jaspy as I call him) he was with his Mum and Dad (Mums Aunty Judith and Uncle Steve) and is going to stay at Nanna Moyna’s house ‘Chez Perrott’ while his Mum and Dad are away!
Me and Jasper are like crazy doggies when we get together, we run around like crazy and play fight, he thinks he is tough but I just let him win! Jasper is a yappy little Schnauzer but I love every fur on him!

Jasper nibbles on my ears and I lay there ready to attack ...

ATTACK!!!!

Mutual sniffing ...

Mmmm thats nice! Jasper gives me nibbles and licks.

Owww Jasper stop, stop it tickles! Hee,Hee!!!

23 days till my “Dog Holiday”

It’s not long till my “dog holiday” with Mum, Dad, Ernie and his Mum and Dad (Sam and Pete) I’m going to the Bluebell Lodge in the Heartsease Lodges at Llandrindod Wells in Powys. Enjoying the gloriously secluded setting, these luxurious lodges boast private hot tubs and sit just minutes’ drive from the attractive Victorian spa town of Llandrindod Wells. The place is perfect for a relaxing break and that’s what I intend to do, I’m going to go for lots of walks in the countryside so fingers crossed its nice, dry and sunny, Mum and Sam are going to have nice afternoon naps and Dad and Pete are going to play games on the PlayStation, then we are all going to have nice meals and watching movies and the best bit is Mum, Dad, Sam and Pete are going to be drinking Champagne in the hot tub while me and Ernie play and get treats!
In the heart of Wales, a diverse landscape of wild mountains and fertile river plains, dotted with friendly towns and secluded hamlets are to be discovered staying at the holiday lodge.
It’s the outstanding natural beauty of the countryside that draws nature lovers and walkers staying at holiday lodges in Powys. The Luxury lodge has fantastic contemporary styling. One double and one twin that can be linked to make double, a family bathroom, open plan living space with modern kitchen/dining area and lounge with patio doors leading to garden with private outdoor hot tub, it’s going to be bliss!!

"Wake me up when September ends..."

Since September 1st all it has done is rain, the mornings have been dark and dismal and all I want to do is stay in bed with Mum and Dad but they have to go to work. I have noticed that it is getting darker earlier in the nights now and much, much colder! This little puggy wants a new coat for the wet weather because Mum keeps dragging me and Sammie out in the rain! The autumn leaves have started to fall, Mum has put the Leaves of Fun Pumpkin Partylite candles on at night and the smell is so warming and cosey and the wind howles at night and I bark back at it! It truely is Autumn now and I feel like I want to hibernate, I'm going to spend today snuggled up in Mum and Dads bed sleeping so wake me up when September ends......
