Let’s get this straight. I don’t share Mo’s obsession with the steam mop. 

It arrived just after me and shares my room. (I know it’s my room because Mo told me it was the You-Tility room.) 

It’s always on the go - no wonder its so skinny. All I have to do is dash in from the mudflats or from digging my escape tunnel in the garden - and out it comes, hissing and fussing. 

What’s wrong with muddy paw prints, I ask you? I think they give a place character. I’ve even seen some really expensive designer fleeces on the market with someone’s fat footmarks all over them.

I’m thinking of introducing a new line similar to that for Abbey Chic - I just need to get my paws on one of Mo’s rare vintage kimono silks so I can experiment........

How time flies

I got in another spot of bother the other day. It wasn’t my fault. 


I thought Mo and John were a bit busy so I nipped out by myself for a breath of fresh air down at the boat yard.

It was brilliant! I hung out with my mate Matey and two collies (short for cauliflowers, I think) l and before you know it, an hour had gone past. 

I really didn’t hear Mo and John calling me - or all the friends and neighbours who had a search party (Sorry I missed that. If it was anything like the Jubilee do, I bet there were loads of sausage rolls and pies involved.)

And then someone put a passing cop car on to me so I think I’ve got some kind of criminal record now. (I’m going to put it on my Ipod.)

I was just about to head home for my lunch when John found me. Mo was quite unreasonable about it. I’m  only 10 months old, she said, (10½ months actually).

I have no road sense apparently (there are no roads down at the boatyard. Boats - duh? There’s the clue.) and I don’t come back when I’m called.

I do!!! 

Eventually.......

Anyway, I had a great time and I’m sure I could look after myself. But if you ever see me out and about on my own, could you give a reminder of the time and point me in the right direction for home? It does get a little scary out in the big wide world. xx


PS This is my friend Matey. When I grow up I’m going to be like him and have adventures at sea.
