It was the Big Guy's birthday yesterday. Boss Woman bought
him some new work trousers because she says he looks like
a tramp in the old ones. I didn't see any evidence of a birthday
cake, or if there was one, I never had a piece !

We went in
Scotlty Forest today. I like it in there, there is always
plenty of things to smell. I can smell all the other dogs
that have been there before me. We saw a horse in the Forest
and we wanted a race with it but Boss Woman called us back
and wouldn't let us. Boss Woman was
speaking to someone in the Forest today and the woman said
she had always been scared of Staffordshire Bull Terriers
because of all the stuff she had heard about them. Boss
Woman said that I was a very friendly dog and the only danger
was that I would lick her to death. The woman stroked me
and said I was a really lovely friendly dog and she was
glad that she had met me and she wasn't scared anymore.

Someone
sent me some fan mail (email) today, saying how cute how I
look ~ I think it must be the way my ears stick up that makes
me look cute. Boss Woman said, considering how much my ears
do stick up, I should have better hearing than I have.
I think she's being facetious !

Keia
has gone to her new home now. I hope she likes it as much
as she liked it here. Boss woman taught her to SIT before
she left and she did it everytime she was told, I think
she was a clever little dog. I chased a rat today ~ it was
underneath the chicken shed. I couldn't catch it because
it ran under the wire fence. I was
on the other side of the fence and I caught it. I shook
it about with my teeth but it bit me twice and made my nose
and face bleed. Boss Woman took it off me and stood on it
and then put some ointment on my face and nose to stop it
bleeding. She said we were both very good girls and we had
done a really good job catching it. Boss Woman said that
because all my jabs were up to date, that I wouldn't get
any nasty disease and die. Phew !!!

Keia
is still with us. Boss Woman said I have to be nice to her
because she is only tiny ~ well that's a bit difficult because
she keeps biting my face AND I had to share my raw beef
with her. She doesn't make as much noise as she did before.
Boss Woman said she was noisy because she was very frightened.
I'm
Keia ~ I like it here because I get some nice food. I chased
the ducks today and got into trouble.

Someone
brought us Keia a rescue pup today, to look after for a while.
She is 8 weeks old. She never ever stops barking and yelping
when she is put in the puppy cage, she's driving me mad. When
I have had my long run in the field and had my dinner, I like
to nap in the afternoon and I couldn't sleep at all for that
racket going on. Well I like her. She's
plays rough fighting and she's good fun. She keeps jumping
all over me but I just lean on her and topple her over. She
looks a bit thin and she doesn't half eat a lot. I hope she
leaves some food for me and Polly. We had to share our fish
dinner with her today. |
Sunday
10th February |
Yep,
the deer's head is still there today on St. Cyrus Beach, but
I couldn't find the fish skin even though I had a good sniff
round trying to find it. I had a quick chew of it before Boss
Woman saw me. |
Saturday
9th February |
Boss Woman and Big Guy took me to Aberdeen with them today
and they shared their Bacon and Cheese pie with me at lunchtime.
It was really fine ... A woman was stroking my fur and asked
Boss Woman what breed I was because she thought I looked elegant
~ I think it was the way I was on my back legs trying to pinch
the Big Guy's pie from his fingers that impressed her. She
said she thought that I was a beautiful looking dog. Boss
Woman said she thought she would have to widen the house door
to get my big head through now, with all the compliments.
I didn't go ~ they made me stay at home. |

Went on the
long beach again today. The deer's head was still there
where I left it last weekend and it still tasted good. Me
and Amber also found the skin of a fish ~ I don't know who
ate the fish itself but the skin smelt lovely ! When the
tide came in then went out again, the sandworm holes kept
filling up with water which bubbled and made me a bit puzzled,
so I tried to dig them up to see what they looked like but
I couldn't reach them before the tide came back again. Boss
Woman took the nice fish skin off me and Polly before we
had chance to eat it and she threw it into the sea. I never
liked water before but because I wanted to get the fish
skin back (it did smell nice and tasty) I went in the water
to get it. Then I realised that I was in the sea, the tide
came over my head and whoopee, I quite liked it even though
I almost got drowned AND I wasn't scared any more. The water
didn't taste very nice though.

4th February |
Climbed
Scolty Hill today ~ it was very steep and Boss Woman was a
bit puffed when she got to the top. Of course, me and Amber
got to the top well before Boss Woman did. Had a great time
chasing through the heather, ran after a buzzard and met a
guy riding a horse. I wanted to say hello and smell the horse
but Boss Woman didn't let me. I didn't
like the horse ~ it was about 500 times bigger than I was,
so I growled at it and stared menancingly to let it know I
wasn't scared. It kept looking at me like it was going to
stand on me. Grrrrrrowl. |

It
was snowing today and when me and Amber went on the coast
path we got wet, muddy and cold. Somehow (ha, ha) my raincoat
came off. I've told Boss Woman I don't like coats, so I wasn't
bothered when it just sort of fell on the floor. Boss Woman
didn't have to get quite so cross though when it blew away
and me and Amber chased after it down the beach and it sort
of got torn when we brought it back. It wasn't my fault that
Amber ran one way and I ran the other. I
was helping carry it and Polly snatched it out of my mouth
! |
Sunday
26th January |
Found
the head of a deer on the beach today. Boss Woman said she
thought it had been hit by a car because it's jaw was all
wonky. I was just pulling the skin off with my teeth when
Boss Woman stopped me. Honestly, I WAS quite hungry and I
would have shared it with Amber. How mean is that ? I went
in the sea for a good paddle and we got covered in sand running
down the beach because it was very windy and blowing the sand
all over. I didn't go in the sea, because
I'm a bit scared of the water. |

Went
to the other beach today, through the woods. There was a strange
man hanging about in the woods ~ he had just been pruning
some trees and he was stood there staring at us, smoking a
cigarette. I didn't like him and I don't think Boss Woman
did either. She told me and Amber to 'come' and kept us close
by her. I
didn't go and say hello to him because I thought he was a
bit strange and I don't like people that look at us like that. |

Someone
asked Boss Woman if me and Amber were pitbulls. She told him
that we looked nothing like pitbulls, and that
in fact pitbulls were illegal. The guy said "Oh I wouldn't
let that worry ME!". Boss Woman told me and Amber that
he was a stupid idiot and knew nothing about dogs and probably
wouldn't know the difference between and a poodle and a westie
either. Yeah, we thought he looked
gormless ! |
Tuesday

|
Had
to go to the vets today for a booster jab. I was glad that
he didn't put a thermometer up my bum like he did last time
I went. He said I was a very friendly and healthy dog and
asked Boss Woman what she fed me on because I had a nice shiny
coat. I like the vet man and licked his face. We
have a new trick ~ when Boss Woman throws me and Polly a biscuit,
we can catch it in our mouths now. |
Monday
14th January |
Went
on a new walk today. Started off at the beach, went through
a forest and down to another beach. The beach was brilliant
~ there was no one on it and me and Amber found a fishing
float which we were playing tug with.Boss
Woman said I was so hyper I was driving her mad so we had
a long time on the beach ~ she said it was to make sure I
would sleep when we got home. I do feel tired now, I think
she's trying to kill me. Help ! I found a dead rabbit in the
forest that me and Polly were playing with. As usual, Boss
Woman took it off us. |
Thursday
10th January |
We got
wet and muddy in the field today and Amber was shivering
because it was so cold.
I can do something really
cool now. When Boss Woman throws a ball for me, I can catch
it in my mouth. She says I am a clever girl and I can go
to flyball with Polly when I am old enough.

8th January |
Boss Woman got a big row off a little guy today. We had just
come off the beach and Boss Woman was clipping us on the splitter
lead but before she could get Amber's lead on, Amber jumped
up at this little guy to say Hello. He went mad and said Amber
was out of control and he was going to report Boss Woman.
He was shouting like mad and waving his arms about and it
was a bit scary. Boss woman apologised to him a lot, but he
kept shouting and going mad. He said he was going to kick
Boss Woman and kick Amber as well. Boss woman told him he
was a nasty little man and she was going to ignore him and
he had better not kick anybody. He stood there staring at
us while we walked away. Sometimes we meet very strange people
on our walks. I'm glad Boss Woman is there to protect us.
I didn't mean any harm, I only wanted to say hello.

Had
a good run on the beach today. It was brilliant. The smell
was really nice and the huge waves were rolling in from the
sea and crashing over the harbour wall (a bit dodgy like if
you were stood on the harbour). I found a piece of paper wrapped
in polythene on the harbour ~ Boss Woman took it off me of
course ~ and it was from www.geocaching.com ~ something to
do with tracking the movements of the piece of paper and the
person who finds it has to put a comment on and leave it for
someone else to find. Where's the ink pad ??? I could put
a paw mark on. |

Went
in Fetteresso Forest today. It was really dark in the Forest
and overgrown and we had to fight through the undergrowth
to find a way out. We all got very muddy and bedraggled but
it was really good and I went in the river. All these new
smells and sounds were fascinating and a bit scary and we
discovered a new bridge over the railway. it was wonderful
! I am sure I was the first dog that had ever been in that
part of the Forest !

It's
not fair. I got a smack on my bottom today and it really hurt.
All I did was find a book on the floor and chew it a little
bit. It was just sort of laying there on the floor and I sort
of bit it a few times. It tasted quite nice actually but Boss
Woman was not impressed. She shouted at me and told me I was
a bad girl. I am sure the dog Trainer guy she went
to told her not to smack me. I could report her, I could !!

Monday
24th December |
Just
to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I
have a new ball for Christmas ~ and you know Boss Woman hasn't
even wrapped it in Christmas paper ! I heard Boss Woman telling
the big guy about all the dogs in rescue at this time of year
~ just chucked out on the streets. There was a male staffie
in the pound (it was microchipped) and when the rescue woman
went round to the owners house to see about it, the woman
came to the door with a puppy in her arms and said she didn't
care and didn't want the older dog anymore.

Me
and Amber had a nice treat in the field today. ~ We found
a dead rotting mole and we played tug with it then ate it
between us. Boss Woman tried to take it off us but we swallowed
it before she could get it. Ha Ha.

Amber got into BIG
trouble today. She got carried away chasing
the hens and jumped on one of them and pulled some of it's
feathers out. Oops. It wasn't hurt but it made a lot
of squawking noise. They're stupid useless creatures anyway.
I don't know why Boss Woman just doesn't eat them, although
they do lay nice tasting eggs, which I like. One of the white
ones keeping trying to peck me and Amber. One day I'll have
it ....

Had
great fun today. Had a run on the beach and while Boss Woman
was talking to some people I pinched the guy's glove from
his hand. It was really clever of me because he never noticed
until he saw me running away with it in my mouth. I took it
back to Boss Woman when she told me to though and I didn't
even bite a hole in it. The guy looked very cross with
me but Boss Woman said I was a clever girl for bringing it
back.

Had
to stay at home by myself today while Boss Woman went Christmas
Shopping. It's just too bad that I have to stay in by myself
for nearly 4 hours while she went floating off. Just hope
she has got me something nice for Christmas, that's all. I
like the Christmas tree but I always get told off for trying
to pick of the shiny ornaments off the tree AND I'm SICK of
hearing those annoying Christmas songs on the telly, athough
I don't mind Shaking Stevens because me and Boss Woman dance
to his music.

Walked
on the cliff path to Dunnottar Castle today. It was very muddy
and slippy and if you fall then you end up 50' below on the
rocky beach~ it didin't bother me because I was chasing rabbits
anyway but Boss Woman looked a bit worried. She says she has
to do dangerous walking to practise for when she walks on
the Everest Base Camp Trek. THEN she had us walking down and
up the steep steps down to the Castle. I'm tired now zzzz |
Monday
10th December |
Heard
the Herons in the Burn today. They were making such a racket
~ I think they were having a party or a fight ~ with all the
noise they were making. Then 3 of them flew up out of the
Burn and circled over our heads but they weren't brave enough
to land in the grass !! |
Monday
8th December |
Went
on the Banks of the River Dee today. The ground was so cold
~ it was white with frost. My paws got very cold but me and
Amber ran around a lot chasing the seagulls so we kept warm.
We found some old used fireworks and Boss Woman took them
off us, just as we were pulling them apart with our teeth
! Boss Woman wouldn't let us in the River ~ she said it was
too fast flowing and we would get swept away. It's not fair
~ she knows I like going in the water and it did look so temptimg
! |

Went to 'Pets
at Home' today. Everyone made a fuss of me (as usual). Boss
Woman kept trying all these really uncomfortable coats on
me. Honestly, I keep trying to tell her I don't like wearing
coats. Does she listen ? She kept telling me off for picking
all the cuddly toys and balls from the bottom shelf. Well,
if they will put them there what do they expect ?
It was good though ~ I found an opened half eaten packet
of biscuits on the floor which I ate before Boss Woman could
stop me. Ha Ha.

Sunday
2nd December |
Had
a new agility class today, down the road. Plenty of interesting
new friends there, nice smells and things to see. Think I
did okay on the jumps. Boss Woman got told off by the trainer
guy for not 'handling' me properly and leading me on the jumps.
She looked a bit annoyed at him when he said that. They said
something about a competition in April. Saw
the Heron in the Burn again ~ hope it's not polluting the
water ! |
Saturday
1st December
|
Went
to pick up Boss Woman this afternoon where she had been working
at the Farmers Market. Everyone made a big fuss of me, which
I liked. Went on a run in the field and down to the Burn and
a giant Heron flew out of the Burn. Jeez, what is it about
MY burn that all the birds want to go in it ? |
Tuesday
27th November |
Went
in the Burn (as you do) today and almost had a heart attack.
2 Swans, who had been in the Burn, flew so close, right over
my head and almost took my ears off. I didn't bark at them
like I do with the geese, because I was too shocked to speak.
I think I must have woken them up when I jumped over the Bank. |

Had
a right palaver last night. It was really dark outside when
me and the Big Guy went to put the birds away. I went under
the hen house to check there was none lurking underneath,
meanwhile he went out and closed the gate on me. Then, he's
running all round the garden looking for something. Boss Woman
comes out, running round the garden as well and shouting my
name. I'm thinking ~ what are they doing ? I'm like .... Hello,
I'm here ! Behind the gate ! . . As usual I got ignored. So
Boss Woman shouts POLLY !
Sigh.... So I had to call out and let her know where I was.
I got no thanks at all. Boss Woman muttered something about
getting a white dog next time. |

Friday
23nd November
|
Had
Pasta, tomatoes, carrot and mince for dinner ~ it was soo
fine. Mmm lovely. Amber had to go to the vet today. Because
she keeps eating things off the floor she's not supposed to,
she got sick. She has to take pills and eat special food for
a while. Glad I'm not her. The food doesn't look very nice
! Poor Amber. It sucks. |
Thursday
22nd November
|
Me
and Amber needed our coats on today for our walk ~ it was
soooo cold. Amber got to learn a new trick ~ giving right
paw. Clever aren't I ? I can
do both left and right paw ~ so she still has a lot to learn
!!! Saw some geese flying over today, they don't half make
a racket. Wouldn't mind one dropping out of the sky .... |
Wednesday
21st November |
Cool.
It's my birthday today. I got to have beef steak and a soft
chewy bone for tea, although I had to share the steak with
Amber and the cat and Amber had a bit of my chewy bone.
Still raining and I got muddy again in the field. |
Tuesday
20th November |
I
got into big trouble today ~ it was all Amber's fault. She
pinched a sock from the washing pile and we had a game of
tug with it ~ it's only got a little hole in. We had a run
in the field and got all muddy but we enjoyed walking in the
squishy mud. Boss Woman says we are both for the shower. Think
I'll hide. |
Monday
19th November |
It's
pouring down today and I got really wet and muddy with running
in the field. I'm having one of my favourite things for tea
~ chicken. Amber couldn't come with us because her legs are
too small for the long grass in the field. I think Amber was
sulking because she likes it in the field. Whatever
! |

Boss
Woman took me to see my friend Jedd the Jack Russell. He's
a bit naughty and would run away if he was off lead so I got
to run fast down the beach and the rocks while he had to stay
on his lead. I think he was jealous because I got to run he
had to walk. His Boss Woman has just had a baby that
I got to have a look and sniff at. I like going there because
I always get a treat. |
