Where's Coventry?

I've clearly been sent there....

Can't understand why though, as I was only trying to help James & Julie catch the rabbits. I've tried so many times before and failed, and then this time when I succeed all I get is abuse!

She only pretended to be dead long enough for me to get a scolding!

Is it bed time yet?

What a busy weekend and not one decent walk! Anyone want to adopt a well behaved, handsome Westie?

Tres Bien!

Well, the 1st of our Bastille Day Gourmet Nights went very well last night. I didn't get much of a look in on the food stakes though even after waiting patiently at the back door all evening (and, might I say having to put up with an irritating little ChiTsu that came to visit). Round 2 tonight, and if I don't get some Beef Bourgignon at the end of it I may be leaving home...

Quiz Research

We all (James, Julie Me & Maggie)had a night out last night and went to investigate a quiz night in a pub in llangattock. As a result we may be adding a new twist to this weeks quiz!

Frogs Legs

I have been reliably informed that we are to take delivery of some frogs this week... The last time I tried a frog it made me foam at the mouth, so I'm finding it very difficult to understand why!

Next...

Where's the Sun gone?

Maggie and I are hating this wet and wintry weather.

Here's a sneaky preview of our recent photo shoot to cheer you all up!

Black & White Models

We are eagerly awaiting the results of a recent photo shoot... I quite fancy myself as a model!

I'm back yet again!

Just been for a great walk around the reens between Magor and llandevenny. Met some big cows that thankfully moved out of our way. Maggie ended up being carried! and now I'm back in residence at the pub - and I've managed to remember my password so I can communicate with you all again...hooray!

I'm Back...

Hi Folks and Dogs. How time flies. I can't believe that it's been months since I updated my blog. Frankly, I'm disgusted with myself but in my defense, I'm been very busy...but more about that later.

This morning, James got a call from a man who lives with two of my cousins (Westies) in Moffat in Scotland. He had been inspired by my blog and persuded his dogs, (Hamish and Freddie) to do a blog of their own. I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing their blog in the near future. Good luck Cousins Hamish & Freddie.

Sorry to all my readers that I've been away. I'll start to update the blog more regularly again now.

More Trophies on the Bar

The Golfers came home with all the prizes, including a Grand trophy on Friday after beating Gary's team at the Rose. They just need to make sure they do the same when it comes to the next Tug of War competition at the end of May, although Maggie and I aren't altogether as confident about that as we were about the golf. Perhaps we should both take on Gary's dogs instead! Anyone reading this that wants to join the team, please come and put your name down for some training...

The Dog is Innocent

We dogs have a simple approach to life. What you see is what you get with a dog and we don't tell lies. Not the same can be said for humans. Some nasty person has posted a comment on a review web site saying that "a dog" bit her grandchild's bottom. It's a lie. Neither Maggie or I have bitten a child. She gets excited in the presence of children and their toys, but anyone who visits our pub knows that Maggie is friendly and non-aggressive and speaking for myself, I've never bitten a human in my life. The person who wrote this lie didn't even appear know that there is more than one dog in the pub, so I doubt whether she has even been in here. Anyway, she also said she wouldn't be back, so Maggie and me are glad, because we don't like lying humans.

Note to Self...

Why can some humans be so cruel and vindictive!

Easter Walk

Maggie and I took Angus & Ross along with us for a walk on Easter Monday. It was pretty manic with 4 of us chasing around along BlackWall Lane. Maggie moved a lot faster than she normally does and took control when the boys needed a reprimand.

Interesting Piccies

Julie met a lady yesterday, that collects postcards (1000.s of them) and she had lots of really old ones of Magor which she has agreed to make copies of so that they can go on display in the pub. They should be up in the next week or so if anyone wants to take a look.

My Mums Birthday

Yes it was Julie's birthday today. The day started with Maggie having yet another trip to see the vet at Marlows as she's managed to cut the inside of her mouth again, probably on one of the endless pieces of glass or china she chews. Deb reckons she's as hard as nails, but I think she's just plain stupid! Anyway I think Julie had a good day. We really celebrated it yesterday with a walk and a little present shopping in Abergavenny & Crickhowell, but she did have some lovely flowers and birthday cake today, and lots of cards including a very special one off me and Maggie. The pub was so busy tonight that I got sent upstairs and Julie couldn't even take part in the quiz as there wasn't enough tables & chairs, but she didn't seem to mind too much and was glad to see so many people eating & drinking.

Mums...

How many Mums can there be in 1 village?

Banished from the Garden!

Well it looks as though mine and Maggies garden treats have come to an end. James and Austin have been busy preparing the garden for an onslaught of children and we've been told that we have to keep out. Maggie actually got kicked out for scavenging in the bushes at the end where she finds all sorts of rubbish that naughty people throw over the wall. There was even a big cement mixer working today, mixing up all the sticky stuff to hold the new lamposts in place. Then came bags and bags of lovely smelly bark to top up the play area, but I think James was a bit miffed that it didn't quite cover it all and he has to get even more in. Austin has also been very busy taking down the wooden fence, which hid a lovely old brick wall. He's had to stop half way though as there is a tree poking through knocking it over which he has to get the chainsaw out to cut it down. Anyway the garden is nearly ready for the summer so if the sun is out come and enjoy... (cos i can't anymore!)

At it Again...

Whilst julie was away, maggie has been a bit off colour. She was actually a bit poorly before she went and julie made james promise to take her to the vet. James doesn't really like the doctors so he managed to put it off until today when Julie came home. Maggie had been eating and she was still playing fetch with me when we went out, but she had a funny mouth and kept scratching at it with her paw as if she had a bit of toothache. We'd all had a look in her mouth and couldn't see anything wrong! The clever doctor at Marlows spotted the problem straightaway and with a little help from james and julie who had to hold Maggie down, managed to pull this monstrous piece of wood from the roof of her mouth where it was lodged and had been disguised along the ridges. She's had to have even more antibiotics and pain killers, but is clearly feeling much better already...

Someone's missing

My human sister Sophie arrived on Monday night, stayed overnight and then disappeared again on Tuesday morning with Julie. We haven't seen them since. James doesn't seem to be bothered about their disappearance, so I suppose they'll be back soon. Funny here without Julie.

Just got back from a long walk beside the reens. Maggie and me stayed out of the water though. Julie never seems to be happy when we've been in the reens.
