After 16 long and very happy years, we have had to say goodbye to our beloved collie, Bonnie. Old age caught up with her but we are so privelaged to have had the honour of being her mum & dad for such a long time. We thought we'd lost her in June 2008 when she had a stroke but she kept on going for us. She's missed so much - she was my very best friend in the world. It's such a sad time and I miss her so much.

Hi Bonnie, so the walk went really well. The wind was blowing a gale and seemed to have dried up most of the tracks, despite the recent torrential rain. There were some nasty filthy puddles where the muddy water was black but otherwise all was great. My gorgeous Purdey (I absolutely adore her really) was a darling, a paragon of virtue, a simply well behaved girlie, no noxious things were subjected to her backstroke, no none at all, it was a MIRACLE really. And as for the Princessliness, well Sarika was as always “mad as a box of frogs”, full of beans and fun. She always sticks close to me on our walks unless there is a leaf, moth, butterfly, JUMBO JET etc to chase. Wonderful. So I bent down to give them both a kiss (yes, I know I am a soppy old sod) and was immediately engulfed in girlie gundogs. Their paws were round my neck, they were in my arms, everywhere, and I got subjected to the treatment, licks and kisses. I love those moments, they are so very precious.......I am not sure when I remembered that they both had spent a bit of very recent time in one of those “nasty filthy puddles” previously mentioned. Was it before or after I noticed the condition of my clothes? Suffice to say that Max is currently watching the washing machine do its thing. AND THAT BEGS THE QUESTION..is watching it hypnotising him, it is on so often, so he is not really asleep he is actually in a trance? Hmmmmmm. I wonder how you tell. AND FINALLY...A man went to into an hardware store and picked up a can of fly spray. "Is this good for wasps?" he asked the assistant. "No, it kills them" was the reply.
Hi Bonnie, I had a big decision to make today....decorating or DoggySnaps? Well, that didn’t take long.....so here we are! All is quiet here at the moment, the three doggies are all clean and fragrant and being well behaved, in fact they have been all weekend. The bucket of soapy water and I simply do not know what to do with ourselves. WORRYING isn’t it. No doubt something will happen soon, the girlie gundogs, Purdey and, dare I say it, Sarika will do something featuring another animal’s poo and/or Max will wake up and do his John Travolta Saturday Night Fever dance routine which is quite good if a bit bizarre!!!!. Before something does happen I will drop off some emulsion paint and some wallpaper just in case you or your human, unlike me, want to do some decorating (and also so I cannot change my mind) x PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY X
Happy 15th Birthday to our most beautiful and loving old friend - we never thought that we would still have you around after your stroke earlier this year. We love you. Your family..xxxxxxxx
Hello to all my doggy pals. I'm not feeling too good just now as I had a stroke last week. the vet is confident that I'll be better soon and has given me some new tablets to take (they are really tasty rolled up in chicken!!). I went away on holiday with my mum & dad & Keira for a few says which helped me a lot. Dad has to carry me in and out of the house cos I'm too heavy for my mum and I'm too wobbly to go down thw steps myself. Dad's back to work tomorrow - wonder how me & mum will get on? I'm having a nice quiet evening and having a nice doogy snooze............ Lol to all - Bonnie xxxx
