Tuesday 24th February

I'm still suffering from a poorly eye. I'm really fed up with it now.  Every morning I have nasty, bitter tablets put down my throat, then some horrible wet stuff dripped into my eye, then cream rubbed around it. I've managed to off load that stupid big collar  at my brother's house for the moment, so at least I haven't got the humiliation of Morse laughing at me all the time.
On a brighter note, I spent last weekend with my brother Chester. I love going there as I'm allowed to get on the sofa to watch television (providing I don't chase the rabbit), and we get things like best steak and chicken for our tea.  It's like being in a posh hotel and I wasn't altogether sure I wanted to come home.  Once I saw Cheryl's car coming to fetch us though I felt a bit homesick and wanted to be back with my own family again. It was nice to spend some time with little Georgie.  She and I have become good friends and I enjoy playing with her whilst the boys ignore us and play together.  Morse likes bossing Chester around, but they're really good friends and anyway, Chester is as big a Morse now.  Mummy didn't come with us this time, she stayed somewhere else, but she was already home when we got back.
I think Mummy and Morse will be going to a show this weekend as they are having hair cuts and I think I heard a mention of baths too.  As I haven't had my feet or ears done, I assume that I won't be going just yet because of my eye.  I hope it will soon be better, this being poorly is no fun at all.
The boys have been talking about their holiday in this 'Disney' place and they are both wearing strange hats.  Nick has a furry one with a stripy tail on and George has a sort of cowboy hat.  It seems they had a really good time although the weather was cold and Nick was sick on the ferry going over. Yuk!  I'm not sure I needed to know that.  I think he must have been okay coming back as he said he had 2 meals! Georgie was boasting about going on something called an 'Indiana  Jones ride', I can't imagine what that was.  They also seem to have taken lots of photos as they have spent ages on the computer messing around.
Well, I suppose it will soon be time for tea.  Back to ordinary food for dogs now, although I think I may have spotted some meat which looks suspiciously like it might be for us.

I'm not impressed!  I had to go back to that vet again on Monday. I now know for certain she doesn't like me as she stuck another needle in me and she pulled hair out of my face, then she scraped some skin off! Ouch!!
My eye is still all puffy and to make matters worse I now have to wear a huge great big collar round my neck.  I don't like it at all. I look like something from outer space.  I can't have a proper scratch, I can't even get out of the door without banging into it.   It makes me feel all hot.  It's really embarrassing, every time Morse sees me he laughs. You wait til he  has one, then I'll get my own back.  If that wasn't enough, I also have loads of tablet to take and some horrible wet things that get put in my eye.  I'll be really glad when my eye gets better, this is awful.  My other brother, Chester will be coming in a few days, I bet he'll laugh at me too.  
Oh how I long to get back to playing with my friends and digging that hole again!

Saturday 7th February

I'm still a poorly little girl.  I had to go and see the vet last week and she stuck a big needle in my neck twice! Then she gave me some horrible pink tablets to take.  My eye started to feel a bit better but then it all swelled up again so I had to go back to the vet again.  I don't think she likes me very much because every time I see her she sticks a needle in me.  I've now got some blue and white tablets to take and some horrible cream that gets rubbed around my eye at bedtime.  I hope I don't have to go back again as I don't want any more needles, they hurt.
I'm not the only one in the family with a sore face though.  Cheryl was doing something in the kitchen this morning and a can fell out of the cupboard and hit her in the face.  She said it was lucky it didn't get one of the boys or Morse but she's got a bit of a lump now and it was bleeding for a while.
It will soon be time for Chester and his baby to come and stay for a few days.  I haven't met baby Georgie yet, but it'll be fun to have someone new  to play with.  I think we're going to stay at their house again soon because I heard the boys saying they were going somewhere called 'Disney'.  I don't know what that is but it sounds exciting from the way they spoke about it.
I don't suppose I'll be going to any shows for a while with my eye like this but I think Mummy and Morse will be doing one soon.  I think Crufts must be quite soon too as George said I had to be a really good girl when I go there because I'll be showing this time.   But that was before my eye got poorly, so I don't know if I'll be able to go now.  I suppose I'll just have to wait and see.  I hope my eye will get better soon, it's no fun being stuck at home, and I don't get to see any of my friends.

Monday 26th January

I've been a poorly little girl this week.  I rubbed my face against something in the little field and my eye has swollen up.  It itches a bit and it doesn't look very nice so I wasn't able to go in the show yesterday.  I went along for the ride but stayed in the car until we all went for a run at the end.  I was feeling a bit sorry for myself, but when we had our run we were able to watch those funny planes that don't make a noise and then I played chase with Mummy and Morse which made me feel a bit better.  They both did well in the show as they both got blues.   I think I am going to a show this weekend if my eye is better. That means I'll be having a bath and I'll get a go under the warm blowy thing.  (I like that.)
Now Nicky is a poorly boy as he keeps coughing.  Morse has been in looking after him with Cheryl today.  He says he keeps giving him cuddles to make him feel better.  Perhaps I'll be able to go in and see him later.  
Morse said he went for a long walk the other day and they explored a new place with a little river and lots of birds.  I think I'd like to see this place, it sounds like fun to me.  Especially if there are lots of birds.  

Wednesday 14th January

There were some terrible winds the other night (and it wasn't me making them!)  The trellis blew down in the garden so we've been able to explore the 'summer' area where we're not normally allowed.  I jumped up to have a look at the bird table and found all sorts of goodies which I quickly ate before anyone could catch me.  Then I had a good sniff round to see if anyone has been there who shouldn't have been, like that big ginger cat who lives a couple of houses away.  Eventually I got bored with that game and went back into the little field as I thought I should do some more work on my hole.  Would you believe it, I couldn't find it!  I think some sneaky person has filled it in.  However the boys and Cheryl have been digging over quite a big area, something to do with a shed apparently, so I've started helping them by digging a new hole just there.  
This morning I was not impressed.  I was playing in the little field at breakfast time and didn't hear Cheryl putting the food out.   By the time I got back Morse had finished all his breakfast and was eating mine too.  What a pig!  I really told him off but he said I should've been there and then he wouldn't have eaten it.  I was hungry too, so I wasn't pleased.  Fortunately Cheryl came out to see what we were arguing about and when she realised what had happened she gave me some more breakfast and took Morse inside so he couldn't steal it again.  The nerve of that dog, honestly.
