The Kiss And The Compliment

Daddy just gave me a great big kiss on the top of my head and said I was a handsome boy.

I'll take both, the kiss and the compliment.

The Chest Of Draws - A Nostalgic Day

Daddy has been up to his old tricks again today, he's been renovating an old set of draws.

The gangs all here it's a sunny Bank Holiday Saturday and the BBQ's been on.

I joined Daddy in a quiet moment and he told me some stories of the past, he;s been feeling very nostalgic, the chest of draws's has been bringing it out.

It was his mum's, stuck away in the cupboard in her bedroom when she lived here. Painted white when the cupboard came down, the gold paint came out and Daddy gave it it's first make over now it's my other Daddies turn and we're going art deco.

In the draw he also found a draw lining cut from some of the wall paper that this house was decorated in in the 80's. It's going in a frame on the wall apparently.

Yes it's been a sunny day and a nostalgic day as well.

Mogsie Just Came Over

Mogsie just came over, I though to update me how Twizzle was but it turns out he was just having a...

*clears throat* lets call it a rest .

What's That I Spy?

Oh what's that I spy?

A bird on the lawn!

No how can I get past River and out that window without making her bark and scare him away?

Oh forget it, no chance.

I've Just Received A Very Important Communication From Mogsie

I've just received a very important communication from Mogsie.

Hi David.

Sorry that I didn't have time to stop and chat the other day but I was on a mission.   

I was just checking our territory was safe before I had to get home to look after Twizzle.   She's been very poorly and our Mum and Dad were really worried about her.   She had a terribly runny eye and then she stopped eating and just slept all day and night.   

Anyway, she went to see the Doctor and she had a really high temperature and was dehydrated.   He injected saline under her skin and also anti-biotics and pain relief and she had to go back the following day.   He wanted to have a look at her teeth because he thought that she might have toothache but she wouldn't open her mouth.   Anyway, when she went back the following day she did let him have a peep in her mouth and he said that she would have to see the Dentist because she needed some teeth out.

Well, she was really frightened and I tried to keep her spirits up which is why you haven't seen me about much even though the weather has been nice.

David, let your Daddies clean your teeth and keep them healthy!   On Friday she had to have three teeth out but the Dentist said that she had been very brave.   I thought that when she got home she would be very sleepy but she was tearing about like a blue-arsed fly and she told me that they had been hurting a lot and she feels so much better now.   

She has to have medicine three times a day and as she spits tablets out it's in liquid form. She's got our Mum on a piece of string as she'll only take it when it's got squirt cream on it and she has to keep reminding our Mum when it's time to give it to her.  Uh uh it's time!   Hope that I don't get taken to the Dentist, I might be very big but I'm not very brave!  

Now that she's getting better I'll be able to get out a bit more and come and see you so we can have a real good catch-up.

See you soon

Your friend, Mogsie xx   

Of course I responded as quickly as I could

Hi Mogsie,

Oh no that's terrible to hear but I'm glad Twizzle is feeling better now, I've heard (often) from my daddies that it's so important to keep your teeth clean and free of anything that could cause problems.

Daddy is a bit of a stickler for our teeth. Last year when I went for my check up they said the gum on one side of my mouth was a little red and he needed to watch out for it. They brought a toothbrush and paste but I hated the taste even though it was supposed to taste of meat, pink meat, yeah not a fan. They did however discover something that I think you should tell your mum about. They are called Dentabites, you can get them in the supermarket.

They've been giving me some every day in the morning, with my dinner and then as a late night snack, they taste really good, they’ve replaced Dreamies for me, daddy said I was getting addicted to them.

Anyway I had my yearly check up about a month ago and ta dah no problems my gums are all back to normal and my teeth are sparkling, daddy clapped his hands when he heard so I guess they work.

Twizzle is such a pretty girl she can pull off any look even a slightly gappy grin. Please give her my love and get your mummy and daddy to give them a go.

All my love David-Shiro x 

Daddy Should Spend Less Time On His Back

What a beautiful day, too hot for me to sunbathe although that doesn't seem to be bothering anyone else.

I think Daddy should spend less time on his back and more time pulling up these weeds, they're spoiling me view.

Too Right

Too right I won't share the seat in the window. I've had to kick both m daddies off it to get the warm spot!

Tidy Up The Garden To Make A Mess

Oh dear I've seen all this before so I know what's coming. Tidy up the back garden to make a mess.

Yes he's preparing for a full decoration jobby, I should have guessed when he got the paint brush out a couple of weeks ago. Of course it wouldn't stop at that!

Eurovision

Well the grandparents have turned up and my daddies have just been talking about Eurovision so I guess it's time for me to do a disappearing act, I can't be doing with that on top of the week I've had.

The New Members Of The Street

It's true the sun brings everyone out.

Not only did I get to have a brief chat with Mogsie earlier, well more of a nod of the head to each other when he popped over this afternoon to wind River up by walking up and down the back fence but I also saw one of the new cats from over the road having a venture out the front.

I hope the weather continues I wouldn't mind getting to know the new members of the street.

Get A Move On

Well I don't know why Daddy is just sitting there, there's denta treats to be had. Go on then get a move on.

So Get To It Then!

Agree!

So get to it then!

Not That She Needs Any Encouragement

Oh dear. I think I've just got River in trouble for encouraging her to get up on the table. 

Not that she needs any encouragement.

That Cat Has Totally Stolen My Identity

I'm stunned!

That cat has totally stolen my identity. Watch out Dot!

3 Minutes, Yes 3 Minutes That's All It Took

It's Daddies birthday today and in this house we believe in starting things as soon as. 

3 minutes, yes 3 minutes that's all it took. 12.03 and Daddy had managed to wangle his presents from Daddy. Not bad going even for his standards.

I crept in to their bedroom this morning when Daddy went to the bathroom. We all cuddled up on the bed. Daddy was sleeping and my other one was cuddling River in  so I settled on his back and we all fell back asleep.

But today was not a day to lay about, plans were happening and the Daddydaddy and Daddymummy both arrived and my daddies went out for the day. A spa apparently, crap food tasted of nothing nothing at all apparently that's so called healthy eating for you when the best they have to offer is a microwaved egg.

We heard all about it when they returned and gave us the low down as we settled for the evening. Still a day out I suppose.

Happy birthday Daddy x

I've Just Been To The Doctors

I've just been to the Doctors. I don't mind actually being there it's the cage they put me n to get there that bothers me.

And  it doesn't matter how many Dreamies are forced through the bars it doesn't lessen the blow.

Although today it was for a check up and yearly injections to make sure I don't get ill but there was some extra special news.

I've put on 400 grams in a year, that'll be because I can actually eat my dinner now without River pushing me out of the way for a taster.

AND my gums are exactly where they should be again. They were a little bit red one side last year but I guess all the special food and attempts at brushing my teeth have paid off.
