thanks and apologies

I just want to say thanks to everyone for all their comments recently. It's absolutely fantastic to hear from you all. Here's my apology, though. I just haven't had chance to catch up with everyone this last week. I feel really bad about it as it looks so rude, and you are all so much fun to hang out with.

I blame Mum who is a bit distracted of late. She invited her dad down to stay, and then Dad invited his mum and dad down too. So it has been really mad in here recently and no-one is going near the computer. Which means I'm neglecting you all. Sorry!

Oddly enough, I don't have any photos of me with any of my grandparents. Mum is losing her touch, I think. But I've had a great time. Grandpa P has a fabulous beard so I felt somehow strangely connected to him somehow. And he's an absolute pushover as far as dog discipline is concerned, so I loved him lots. It only took a puppy stare to get a donation of his food. And he let me climb on the sofa so I could stand on his shoulders and munch the top of his head. Fabulous! Sadly he has that fragile old person skin so my careless tooth activity made him bleed lots. Wherever Grandpa P went, I wanted to be. So for the first time ever I whined when put in my crate for the night, and come morning time I totally ignored Mum and Dad to hang out with Grandpa. Ha! That'll serve them right for trying to exert discipline on me.

Grandpa T and Grandma S were much more switched on about puppies, so I was much better behaved. Although knocking over Grandma's walking stick was lots of fun.

When they all left, I was so miserable.

Especially as Mum now thinks she should continue with that hair-pulling thing she started last week.

Here's a pic of me as a woolly mammoth a few weeks ago. This is my 'I want a walk but I don't like my harness' look.
And this is me trying to get really close to Grandma's buttered toast. See my silly naked ears? Now you can see how one is all perky and one is all floppy. How undignified.
There's a long way to go yet on this grooming thing. Apparently I'll get a lot more naked yet. Uh oh.
