My pet human Anna has been telling me that she knows a dog called Emma who has a blog - I thought, if she can do it so can I!
As you can see, I'm a Labrador. I'm 6 years old, and Anna's been living with me since I was just a puppy. A few years ago Michael came to live with us too, I like him, he plays fighting games with me. But Anna lets me on the settee and the bed more often though. There are a few other creatures that live here too - a couple of fluffy fast-moving things that I'd love to chase, but I get shouted at if I do that. And two strange-smelling prickly things that hurt my nose and won't play with me - there's another one of those outside as well.
I don't get to go out for walks as often as I'd like (Anna says she's busy and tired, but obviously that's no excuse!), it's a good job I have a big garden to sniff around. Sometimes I push through the fence and explore other gardens too, especially my friend Toby's garden. He has lots of lovely toys that I can steal - Anna's mean and only lets me have toys for a while before she takes them away, she says I'll chew them up, but isn't that what toys are for?? I don't think she has much sense. But she does give me biscuits, so I forgive her.
I've had a bit of a stressful week. Strange people keep coming and doing things I'm not allowed to see in the kitchen. Bits are missing and it looks and smells so different. I don't know what's going on, but I'm not allowed to watch or talk to the people very much, I have to stay with Anna while she looks at a book or plays with that plastic thing that makes funny noises. She's got a new one that she calls a wee or something, I don't understand it at all. And she looks at the box that sometimes makes noises like a dog but doesn't look or smell like one. She's weird!
But I did have a nice afternoon today, I took Anna and Michael for a run at Holmebrook Valley Park and they let me talk to some other dogs! First there was a little puppy who wanted to play with me, but Anna kept saying I was too big. Then an older dog who jumped on me so I had to growl at him but he behaved after that and we ran around for a bit. And a couple of hairy dogs who didn't pay me much attention. But best of all was the river!
I love to go in the water, especially if it's muddy and smelly. Gits, as soon as we got to the lake where all the ducks are, they put my lead on again! It's not fair, I wanted to chase the ducks, and they always stop me - then they stand still for ages looking at them when I want to carry on!
It was a good walk though, I was really tired when we got back to the car.
And when we got home they let me play with my BALL!! I love that ball, I could chew it for hours, but they always take it away eventually.
Yawn, I'm off to sleep now, it's been a busy day.

humans are strange aren't they!
Oh huff, I'm glad you are doing a blog now, so we can compare notes with the strange things our mummies do.
You are a lovely looking dog. Sounds like you had a grand day.
Yes Pete, they don't make a lot of sense most of the time! I try to just ignore them and do what I want anyway but it doesn't work very often!
Emma, does your mummy do that horrible thing with the shower? With the warm water and the shampoo, just when you've got nice and smelly in the mud or fox poo or something? Anna does that and I let her do it because it seems to make her happy, but I wish she wouldn't. :/
Thank you OC, it was a nice day. Funny, lots of people tell me I'm lovely, but Anna and Michael tell me I'm a skanky ho dog.
