Mapping my world

Hello again pups'n'peoples. MyPeoples was VERY greedy at the Christmastimes. She ate lots and lots  (and DID NOT SHARE) so she is even fatter than usual. This makes her unhappy because her clothes do not fit (another reason why fur is so good, it stretches with you, not that I am ever fat) but it has made me VERY HAPPY because we have been having BIG WALKIES. She has a thing for her paw which tells her how much walkies she has done and if it is enough to stop her getting fatter. Hehe, I have much better idea. Take me for walkies 'til I am tired... CLUE. There is NO WALKIES THAT FAR, but she would have nice figure like me then.

Anyway. One thing is that we now do not go in the car every day. This is A VERY GOOD THING. Instead we are doing the car bit by walkies. And so I am getting to know my place very well by all the  sniffs and nice dogs on the way. Sometimes the sniffs is a bit nasty, I think they might be from these or these or maybe one of these guys, but mostly they is from nice dogs.

First of  all there is GentlemanF who greets me with a big "woof", and when we meet in the field we have a nice run around. A little bit further down is LittleH, he has bark like me and is pleased to see me but we have never played *sad face* 'cause we have only met on road and it is not safe to play there. Next pup is OtherB, we have had little play and her peoples likes me very much and says I am lovely dog *of course*, OtherB does most of her walkies on different hill but it is still nice to get her news.
Then there is BarkyS who sometimes makes MyPeoples jump even though they know she is there. She is not nasty barking, just looking after her garden and saying "Hello" but it is quite loud and sometimes a surprise. Hehe.

And then there is my favourites friend BigS. He is lovely and we have had plays and him and his peoples are always pleased to see me. But then who would not be pleased to see me?

And then we get to the shop. This is a mystery place because have never been inside. I  AM NOT ALLOWED. I used to have to wait in the car but now we ware going by walkies I sit outside which is a bit boring but sometimes people say "Hello" and "Lovely dog" and sometimes I put on my very best  *sad face* to trick peoples that MyPeoples have been away for ages. Hehe.

practising *sad face* and why do they put scarf on me?

But they are always back quick and then we do the walkies again backwards.

we went in the sticks and ball place today, but it's really NOT ALLOWED,  I am checking out the sniffs 

There are lots of other dogs too, there is sometimes another BT but she is in the house because SHE KNOWS HER PLACE (even though she might have been here first) and I maybe wasn't very nice to her in the pub *slightly embarrassed face* but that is NOT why she is indoors. And there are all the dogs who have to work keeping the sheeps in line but they are always too busy to talk. And there are some GINORMOUS dogs and I am a little bit glad they are always on other side of fence. Not that I'm a wimp or anything and they are nice dogs. But very Big. And lots. And  I am only quite small dog , but perfect size as I am BT.

So that is a nice map of my places and if you come here you can have the sniffs yourself.

Keeping my paws to the floor

Whoooooooosh, whoosh a month's gone by. And the air has been all whoosh, whoosh , whoosh too. There were some days even I didn't want to go outside. I am quite small dog after all and could easy blow away. Luckily MyPeoples is quite well stuck to ground so I am safe if she holds tight to m'lead. And if it hasn't been whoosh, whoosh outside, it's been all "oh yes it is.." and "it's behind you"indoors, and My Peoples looking very strange indeed.

I have no idea

We have been in the car and stopping at cafe with most lovely name and lots of peoples to say "Hello" and "Ooh lovely" even when I tipped over m'drink and yes it was m'drink.

I couldn't help it

Then the weather stopped whooshing for a bit and we went to the field to chase after balls. TBH I did most of the chasing and catching because I  am best at that, but then it started to snow so we went home for tea and a snooze.

pleeeeeese

sometimes I brings it back

just 'cause I looks lovely

Yesterday was not whooshy at all and was very sunny so we went on one of my best walks to a big  stone place where the man said I was very lovely *of course* although I did notice he did not give me any snacks. MyPeoples did swaps of metal for snacks in a bag which they DID NOT SHARE. There were lots of good sniffs but the best of all thing about this walk is that it starts and finishes at my Best Beach. It is the greatest place for zoomies. And there are lots of nice dogs. But mostly I just zooms about after my ball. And when they want to stop and go home I puts it in the sea and has a bit of a lie down in the nice waves. Hehe.

he might be handsome, he's NOT having my ball

hehe sitting down*

"it's behind you"

So that is what I have been busy doing.

*this might have been another time, I do it a lot.

Yoo hoo everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Helloooooooooo! And Happy New Year to all Pups and Peoples. It's been tooooooo long.  So what have I been up to?
Well I have been away on boats to the islands of Mull, where I stayed in lovely hotel *happy pampered face* and Jura, where I was NOT ALLOWED except in the bar and had to sleep in the car *disapproving face* but MyPeoples did come and sleep with me in the morning when she was worried I'd be too cold and I was ok really but very pleased to see her.
I did have lovely times running about on the beach in Jura and up and down the corridor in MyPeoplesGreatAunty's house, specially when I found a squeaky ball there.

C'mon how cute do you want me to be?

I have been on lots of  lovely walkies around my island and on my favourite mainland beach. And  had visits from MyYoungPeoples which was lovely even if he did bring The Girl (I do like her really and she gave me one of my favourite balls)


I did some fundraising for littlePeoples

Hmmmm

and joined in with the #BTposse Christmas party to raise funds for furs.

at the #BTposse Christmas party

The it was Christmas, which is nice apart from all the dressing up

no idea who the other one is

And we went to see MyPeoplesAunty which is lovely except for THIS

Asbocat

he might look cute.....

Rachelcat (RIP) was fierce and mostly made of needles and fur,  but she was SMALL.


This guy is AS BIG AS ME (at least) and his name is ASBOcat. Need I say any more?
But I still had a lovely time and great muddy walkies and MyPeoplesAunty has a great garden for zooming in so I was happy.

MyPeoplesAunty taught me how to take selfies

Now I am back home and catching up with all the sniffs.
 Tiring work.

mmmmm comfy

West Highland Walkies

Well pups and peoples I am very glad to tell you that my last two big days out were not to boring shops or sitting around when MyPeoples were eating very scrumptious foods AND NOT SHARING but for REALLY GOOD WALKIES. I was a very happy dog *super smiley face*,  I did not even mind about going in the car  first, I just had a little sleep. We were going to go on the train too but it got in front of us so we did the walkies first and then got the train back to where we had started from.

If you want to do this walkies I think Peoples have made lots of books about it;  I do not know if any dogs have written books which would be much better because why would I need to know where there is a toilet or cafe (because I am NOT ALLOWED) but would like to know where the  best sniffs are? Anyway it is called the West Highland Walkies and it goes from Glasgow where I was last time to Fort William which I think I have been to but never told you about because it was just walking on the street but there were some nice dogs if I recall?

So. Back to the West Highland Walkies, you can do this walkies for days and days (sounds good) but you might need to carry your own bed (not so sure about that). And you would have to be allowed to eat sausages and scrambly eggs and other scrumptious  stuff or your peoples would have to take all your kibble in their bags. Although I have heard rumours of dogs having to carry all their own things!!!!!!!

Anyway, because MyPeoples DO NOT ALLOW  me to eat scrumptious peoplesfood and did not want to carry all my kibble and my bed and are not as good at walkies as me, we are doing it in bits.
But I do not mind as long as we do the walkies.

The first bit was from Tyndrum to Crianlarich, it is usually the other way around but I have already told you about missing the train. It was a very nice walk with lots of places where I could go off my lead and check out the sniffs and stories. The main places for being on your lead are where the walks goes through a farm and there are sheeps and where it crosses a very busy road and you have to all be very careful.

After crossing the road the path gets quite steep and MyPeoples was finding it quite hard because she has very short (fat) legs. I have short legs too but I have four of them so it was not a problem for me and in any case I am superb at walkies.

this is a view, peoples like views

"C'mon peoples"

When we got to the Crianlarich place we had quite a long time before the train so we went to the hotel and all had a drink and MyPeoples had scones which I'm sure are quite delicious if you are allowed but I just had my kibble.

The next bit of walkies was on a very sunny day and we drove to somewhere called the Bridge of Orchy. This time we were a bit early for the train so we went to the hotel and had a drink. MyPeoples thought that it looked very nice and that we might go back if we did the walkies again and maybe both of them together?

We got the train to the Tyndrum place where we had been before and then turned around and did the walks back to where we had been. This obviously makes sense if you are a peoples but tbh as long as there is walkies I do not really care.

We stopped on the way and we all had a picnic because I had not wanted my breakfast before we went in the car. Some nasty peoples had left bits of their picnics under the rocks which I think is pretty horrible and peoples have the cheek to complain about dogs being dirty. Pfft!

Walkies is thirsty work

I did not leave a scrap

which is more than you can say for these peoples and we took my poo home with us

Apart from two bits were there were sheeps I  could go off my lead and enjoy all  the sniffs. There were no bits of busy roads to cross but there were some climby gate things. Mostly I could squeeze through but once I did not fancy it and MyPeoples had to help me get over the top. I can walk over the sheeps pipes now too. Did I tell you I was very clever?

We walked back to the train place where we had left the car and went home for tea. I'm looking forward to doing some more of these walkies soon.

Hoovering up the crumbs

Well hellooooo pups and peeps, I have been on a little holiday. I stayed at a very nice peoples place (this is a bit about the place) in Glasgow. They are VERY nice to dogs and liked me very, very much *of course*. A lovely man called Johnny was soooooooo pleased to see me everytime I came home.

They give you a bed and some bowls but I am a seasoned traveller and I like to have my own things so I put my furry blanket on their bed. It was nice and comfy.

getting comfy

I was just getting all settled in when there was a knock at the door, I though it would be one of the nice hotel people , maybe bringing sausages *a dog is always hopeful even though I AM MOSTLY NOT  ALLOWED* but then I had a sniff, and

IT WAS MY YOUNGPEOPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(He had his *other girl* with him but I am getting used to her as long as she knows her place)

MyYoungPeoples being very happy because he is coming to see me

So that was making a nice place even better. I love MyYoungPeoples but I don't get to see him so much now that I lives beside my sea.  I am hoping he might come and stay with me when MyPeoples go on aeroplanes. (He can even bring the girl)

Anyway after a little bit (MyPeoples got some new toys to play with but she didn't chew them so what is the point?) we all went outside and the very nice man found a car for us to have a ride in.

We went to a quite noisy place and there was MyAunty! This was turning into a VERY good day. She always promises me sausages and scrambly eggs on the little birdie 'puter place. She had a nice big doggie bag, *hopeful face*  it said so in letters DIOR  (I am a dog and my spelling is not very good but I think that says dog)  so I was very hopeful *more hopeful face*. It looked big enough for lots of sausages.........

But do you know what? She fibbed!!!!! There was no sausages or scrambly eggs! She was going to be demoted from best favourite Aunty. But...................for  a very smart peoples she is quite a sloppy eater and some nice crumbs came my way on the floor. *licks mouth*. I thinks that maybe she was doing it on purpose when MyPeoples was not looking.

And she did give me a burger and a bone. But they were made of plastic so not very tasty but very good for chewing.

This is me testing out the bone

The next day after MyPeoples had scrambly eggs for breakfast and DID NOT SHARE we met my Aunty and Uncle Peoples again and did a walkies in a garden place which was quite good but I had to stay on my lead but after that we went to a beach which was lovely and loads of stones and sniffs but no splashes *sad face* on account of sleeping in the hotel place.  All the peoples had ice cream and

I WAS NOT ALLOWED!!!!!!!

The scrambly eggs I DID NOT GET and they would easy fit in that DIOR bag

The next day we did a walkies around the shops which is mostly boring except when lovely people come up to say "Hello" and "Lovely Dog" and this time I met some lovely peoples from Danish land who said BTs were the best type of dogs *of course*.

And I have been thinking that if I got a job I could stay in the hotel place and order my own scrambly eggs.

So what do you think?
