Family Frolics

Well what a weekend! So much happened and I didn't even take my camera... I should have done because lots happened. I met Herbie - he was such a cool dude. I saw Theo again - although only briefly and this wasn't much fun as we didn't get to play like we did last time. I suppose some of you don't know who I mean, these guys are Ed's Nephews, one is 9 months old (Theo - pic of him on previous blog entry) and the other (Herbie) is less than 2 weeks old - younger than me!
.
A big thing for me this weekend: my first long car journey. We went to Norfolk, it took ages, but Ed & Jo were amazed at how good I was. I heard lots of comments like "how good is Darcy being in the back there?!" Well done me!
.
The great thing about going up to Norfolk was that I got to meet people. I especially liked "Grandma & Grandad" they were cool. There was also loads of people to meet when we went to a pub in Waterbeach, yes I went in to a pub! I was very well behaved, which got me even more brownie points!
.
Anyway the purpose of going to the pub was for a family get together. Ed's family have an annual "Clayton" day - I won't list who I met because it would take me forever. Suffice to say that it was great fun. I also met a fellow blogger known as "Uncle Mike, with the Horns", he was great and I am going to try and be as good as he is with blogging regularly.

Horrible Rain



I hate the rain, it makes me wet, it makes me smell and I find it incredibly hard to go "busy-busy" when it's landing all over my back. This has resulted in an increased number of "accidents" inside... Unfortunately Ed has realised the cause for this and we are now spending lots of time in the rain so I can "get used to it". Rubbish.

Office Work



Yesterday I thought I'd try a spot of office work. It was OK, lots of bins to sniff and things on the floor that tasted nice - especially near Abe's desk! I also got to sit at Julian's desk - he's a director or something, so I thought I'd send out an email to everyone giving them an early finish... Ha! He didn't notice as he was in a meeting and then I distracted him my getting him to tickle my tum as everyone shot out the door! Cunning, cunning, cunning!

"Pup-date"



Hello, I thought it was about time I gave you all a "pup-date" (see what I did there?!!!) Firstly I haven't been ignoring you all, I have decided not to blog everyday so that I don't bore you all too much...

House training is going well. To be honest I am not really getting it 100%, but Ed and Jo are doing a good job of keeping an eye on me so that I can get outside in time to do the necessary. I take great delight in catching Ed out though, especially when he thinks he is doing a "quick job" such as putting a mug in the dishwasher, I can do it so quick and be the other side of the room before he notices!

We have been out it the car again, longer drives to goodness knows where. I'm getting used to it now, I pretty much fall straight asleep with my head rammed between the passenger seat and the gear stick (see earlier pic). Ed says that I will be going in the boot soon, not sure what he means but it sounds like fun. This, apparantly, is where proper Guide Dogs go, so I want in!!!

Today's picture is of me asleep with some of my toys, yes I do have more!

Zoom Zoom!


The past couple of days has seen some excitement in the way of going for drives. Now I'm not sure about not seeing where I am going, it makes me feel wierd when we go round corners... But I've kept working at it and I'm getting there. Infact I even managed to nod off today! (See pic)

I am also proud to announce that I have learnt a new word. "Sit". I even know what to do when it is said now. It's actually quite easy, all you have to do is put your bottom on the floor! What a breeze! I'm still not sure what they mean by "leave" though, they say it a lot, but I'm not sure why...

Supermarkets and Visitors



Sorry I didn't blog yesterday, I was busy exploring the lounge... I had a couple of accidents in there, but I don't think anyone minds too much. I have been getting a few visitors, which has been fabulous. So far I have met Stephen, Kathryn, Colin, Rob, Gemma and Craig - I think that's it, I'm starting to forget already!

Well my tummy upset seems to have gone, which is good. I also managed to sleep through the night without waking the whole house up yesterday, well done me :-)

I have been to visit another supermarket, this time ASDA. This one was much much bigger than the little Tesco's, but it was a bit scarier. I'm quite used to my collar now and even running along with the lead on doesn't seem that bad. Anyway, it is now time for one for my many morning naps, so I'll sign off and speak to y'all soon!

Poorly but still having fun



I think the excitement of moving into my new home has given me a tummy upset, this means that I've had a quarter of the food I normally have, but it hasn't stopped me! I went for my first walk today, literally 15 yards, but still... I also went into Tesco's today, I even got a stroke from the girl in the checkout! So, despite being ill I have still had a good day! Night night.

Collars and Medallions


Hello. It's little me again! Yesterday and today I have been getting harassed by Ed and Jo. They keep putting this leather thing round my neck called a "collar", also some cool bling which says "Guide Dogs" on it. Although it looks nice, it jangles on my water bowl, now that I don't like, and the leather thing is really itchy.

Still doing well and doing nearly every wee and poo outside. Only two more accidents since the first, Ed tells me I should blame Stephen for those!

Early Rise



Well, I went to sleep very early last night. I couldn't help it, I was so very tired! Ed and Jo kept trying to wake me, but I am a deep sleeper and the games they were offering were not as tempting as sleep, despite how much fun they looked.

The only problem with all of that was I woke up at 3.45am this morning. Now this didn't bother me, but Ed didn't seem too chuffed when he came down to check on me... So I thought I'd please him by having a wee outside, like a good puppy. I thought this would be enough to appease the situation but the rotter put me back in my cage and then went back to bed!!! Well, I decided to continue my protest and made lots of noise (tee hee!). But I gave in after an hour or two, it was all too much effort...
