Well ........

..........the bags are packed, so I guess they will be going away soon.

All the clothes and things had been left out on the spare bed that I don't sleep on anyway---I like to curl up at my MH's feet at night and have a snooze----but today, they have disappeared into two great big cases, so it looks as though this 'holiday' thing is about to happen.

I am a wee bit nervous 'cos I have always had my humans here for company, but I am sure I will be OK. If the weather is good, I can play outside all day and nip in the window when I need a wee feed or a little nap, and if it is wet and windy, I shall just stay in and play on my climbing frame, and my MH's friends have promised to visit me every day, and I can even send my humans a text and let them know how I am doing. And the won't be away for too long and I am sure I will get a lovely present when they get back. I would like an elephant, but not a lion!

I won't be able to put any post on my blog every day until they come back, so I shall speak to you at the end of September and let you know how we are all getting on.

I hope you won't miss me too much, and I hope you will come back again.

Well ........

Busy, busy, busy

It's not me being busy, it is my humans and I can hardly get peace to sleep in my own house!

They are going away a very far place on Wednesday and so all the packing is being done and all my food and biscuits are being bought and everybody is being given instructions on how to look after me. My friend A. is coming to stay with me so he came over yesterday with his brother J. who is going to help him, so I told them exactly what I wanted, and I am sure that once the humans are away, we shall all get on fine.

It is wet and windy again today, so apart from a wee trip down to put water in the bath for the cows, I have stayed indoors and curled up on my couch, so I don't have anything to tell you, but I hope you are all well.

AAAHHHH!

My warm, sunny weather is back and I have been outside all day. I helped my MH put the water out for the cows, but I stayed right in behind her 'cos the baby bull wasn't there, but his daddy was and he is GI-NOR-MOUS! I didn't want to get eaten up, so I hid behind my MH until he had had his big drink and had gone away again.

I talked to the nice farmer with the big barn and he gave me a wee pat on the back. Unfortunately, he had been cleaning out the cow trailer, so I didn't smell very good for a minute or two, but then I rolled in the grass and was soon back to being adorable again.

I had a good night last night and fell asleep on my MH's knee when she was playing on her lap top. I slept on my back and at one point my two front paws were up above my head and my DH tried to take a picture of me, but by the time he had got the camera ready, I had wakened up and moved, so I don't have the most adorable picture of me to show you, but my humans thought I was beautiful. How right they are!

I found a sweety paper and I played with that for a long time and that is today's picture. It was good fun so I hope my humans keep eating sweeties!

Not So Hot

I had hoped for another warm day, and it started off quite well, but then it cooled down and began to rain, so it has been kind of mixed for me.

I played outside and found a lovely wee secret place where I had a napette in the long grass and it was good. I watched my MH putting water out for the cows and I had a wee talk to the little white bull---honestly, there is one and he is lovely! The cows get very thirsty and we have to fill up the bath lots of times so it keeps my humans out of mischief for a wee while.

Friday is the day when my MH gets all her groceries from Stromness and they come over on the boat at 12 o'clock to my wee island and so my DH has to go to the pier and pick them up and then when he comes home, they both unpack all the boxes with their food and my food. Then they play with me with the long bits of string that the shops use to tie the boxes together. Isn't it amazing what keeps our humans amused? Just a wee bit of string and they are happy.

After all that excitement,I had another wee sleep but this time it was on my couch and you can see I am really comfortable.

Happy dreaming everybody!

Squeak-amint

Here is my latest hiding place. I am resting in the wee clump of mint at the front of my house and I am smelling beautiful!

It has been a glorious day today with warm sunshine and we have all been in the garden all day just playing and resting and I have just loved it. When I got a wee bit too hot, I just found a shaded corner and had a wee cool down, and the best place I found was in the mint, so that's where I stayed and of course, I had to have my picture taken.

I got lots of pictures taken as I was chasing flies and my humans were laughing at the shapes I got into 'cos I was running on my back legs and trying to catch flies with my front paws and my humans said it did look funny. Perhaps it did.

I hope it is warm tomorrow!

Sabotage!

I have finally worked out how to stop the dreaded lawn mower. Sit in the grass box when the boss isn't looking! It worked a treat.

It hasn't been a great day weather-wise, but the humans are going on holiday soon and they decided to cut the grass as it was quite dry. So I went out to supervise as usual, and also to complain. I still do not like that mower, but I came up with a cunning plan which was to sit inside the grass box when my DH had taken it off for a minute, and it worked perfectly until my MH rattled my dinner dish and then I was inside like a flash and my DH finished cutting the grass. But I have learned a lesson for the future.

My humans are going away for a few weeks and I am being left at home, but my friend A. is coming to stay with me and my MH's two friends are appointed as tummy-ticklers so I shall not be neglected. I just hope A. is a quick learner. The humans were just beginning to get things right and I am afraid that their training will need to begin again when they come back, but I need to work on A. first. Ho hum!

I shall let you know how I get on.
