Gardening

Well, I'm trying to help with the gardening, but it's difficult for a dog so I just chew on my bone or have a good sleep out in the sun while Mum does all the hard work!  She's started growing things in the greenhouse at the top of the garden..when we moved into the house at the beginning of the year, we couldn't even reach the top of the garden because of all the snow - but we soon discovered a perfect little haven out there. It's quite a narrow back lot but as the seasons changed, all kinds of plants, flowers, etc., have sprung up and filled all the spare dirt areas! The rain is a bit of a nuisance, but it certainly keeps all the plants green and healthy and growing - gives me a free shower too! Here are a few pics of Mum's garden and greenhouse efforts..enjoy!

Wimbledon

OK..well, of course, I didn't go to Wimbledon but Mum and Trav had such a good time (so they told me when they got home..really late!!) so here are some pics..

They were on Court #3 on Day 7, the second Monday of the fortnight when everyone left in the tournament plays - three rows from courtside and the hottest day of the year so far!! The matches played that day on Court #3 were: ?? Azarenka vs. Petrova, Lopez vs Kubot and Tonga vs Ferrer..

Oh..and on Day 9, Trav and Steven (it was his birthday) were on Centre Court to see Andy Murray vs. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Roger Federer vs. Novak Djokovic :-)

Watching for squirrels

One of my favourite things to do when I get up in the morning is to look out for squirrels in our garden - and our next door neighbour's garden (they have a lot of bird feeders and I don't want those pesky squirrels to eat all their food..) So Mum lets me out of the back door and I chase them off - never caught one yet though..perhaps that's just as well!! I don't think they'd taste very nice..

Where has the time gone?

I can't believe it's been six months since anything has been posted! We've been pretty busy..but still, six months!!!!! I think Mum just got out of the habit - so now she says she's ready to get back to blogging and is going to try and put something on here at least once a week :-)

A little recap: November/December - Mum left me with Barbs and Clive for three whole weeks and went back to the US to see family and friends..I wish I could have gone with her, especially to see Alexis, Isaiah and Emery but also it would have been great to see my old dog park buddies too! That's OK though..don't think I want to go back into that crate and travel anywhere on a plane - quite happy to stay here with my new family and friends! :-)

December..Christmas - we did have a lovely time celebrating and eating - well the humans got to have a load of different food - I just got an extra bone to chew on!! The weather was so COLD during the month, getting as low as -15 degrees - I loved it!! Then about a week before Christmas the snow fell and fell and fell...everyone was snowed in and we definitely had a White Christmas..was able to frolic in the snow in the park..brilliant!  A couple of days before NY Eve, we finally moved to our new home in King's Sutton - we were supposed to move in the week before Christmas, but due to the bad weather it wasn't possible..had a lovely NY Eve get together with Mum, Barbs, Sue and Claire xo

OK, that's it for today - will post pics soon.. xo
