It’s been a while since my last post, so I’ve got a bit of catching up to do….

I’m now 8 months old and weigh nine and a half kilos – no thanks to the fake dried meatballs they still keep feeding me. But I have broadened my diet and now I also eat fruit (grapes, peaches, pears and apples) and nuts (yum!) and any food that I can wangle from mum and dad’s dinner table (why does their food always taste SO much better than my own..?)

PLEASE can I have some.....?

Mum and dad went away for a month to somewhere called England, to see their other darlings. Hmmph! I SO wanted to go and meet them, and meet my cousins Russell and Austin too – but mum and dad made some excuse about not being able to take me on the aeroplane. I am such an excellent traveller though, I don’t know why I couldn’t have gone! So I stayed behind with my designated foster parents, which was quite fun actually. They weren’t quite used to my routines and so I was able to make them up as I went along. I tried to cadge some CHICKEN and extra food and treats, but it didn’t always work.

I walked all the way to the top of this mountain to visit Afyon Castle

When mum and dad came back they took me on my own little holiday in the car and we went into the country and visited some historic sites.

I love travelling in the car and seeing all the new things. Although I’ve got my own special blanket on the back seat, I prefer to perch myself on the armrest between mum and dad. They think I’m taking in the sights but really I’m keeping my eye on the driving. And if I see any animals – like cows, sheep, goats or real live CHICKENS – then I leap up to the open window, pop my head out and bark away at them. I’ll show them who’s Top Dog!

The trip to the country was great and we stayed in some hotels. We even stayed in a villa with its own Turkish Bath, where the water came directly from an underground spa. My fur was so soft and silky after taking a swim in the HUGE bath.

It was nice to get back to my own bed though and although it’s too cold to swim in the sea now, I still love running along the beach or up and down the woods chasing after pebbles, feeling the wind in my fur with my tail wagging away.
