Hello

You’d think that a dogs life is rather boring, wouldn’t you? People seem to think all we ever do is eat, sleep and pooh. That’ just not fair. My day is filled with adventure.

The sun was shining yesterday. Oh, it was so hot! I’m not complaining. My humans think I should stay out of the sun because of my thick coat. That’s why the called me Tumbleweed, because my thick coat sheds and leaves clumps all over the house. Whenever they find my little clumps of hair they chase me all over the house with a brush! Oh I love a good chase!

I’m getting side tracked. That happens a lot when you’re a dog. You forget where you were. Oh yes, I was telling you about the fun I had yesterday in the sunshine.

Our garden is a wonderful place. It’s full of plants and has a lovely little pond with a fountain in it. Everything you could hope for to attract play mates like butterflies and bees.

Today I was playing with Snowdrop. Snowdrop is a beautiful white butterfly. Why do they call them butterflies? She doesn’t even like butter! Anyway, we were dancing around the garden, in and out of the lavender when she scooped way up high. I jumped after her and landed, right in the middle of the fountain! I was soaked through! I ran back to my mother, Pesky, to show her what had happened and she said I should shake all that water off my coat before I caught a chill. I’ve never seen a chill before, so I wouldn’t really be chasing one would I? Honestly, my mother can be silly sometimes, but she is my mum, so I did what she said. I shook my body so hard all the water droplets darted from my coat just as my human Mummy walked by with her clean washing! Oh she was upset. I like it when she gets upset, she chases me around the garden, it’s such good fun.
