What's been a-happening?

*MAY REQUIRE A LOT OF READING*
*VERY LONG POST*

Hello folks!

Well, I'm back on the internet-ma-bob-thingie and you'll all be needing to find out what's been a-happening here.

So I will tell you.


I went to Duthie Park with Eve and Grace and their parent people!

Hoorah!

So, at the moment, the park is being worked on! How exciting!

They are going to make it a little bit like the way it was when my father was a wee boy. 

It had paddle boats and everything, and this summer they are putting all of that back in!

There is a cool new park that looks like a Smurf village and Grace (who's a very old teenager) had fun playing in it! I didn't get a picture of it though.

This is a new fountain, and there will be flowers in the bare soil! Woof!

This is where the paddle boats will be, I think...

Yes, it is. I might have a shot at it! Woof!

Where are we going now Eve?

To the big hill!
They have turfed it all, but it used to have dead roses on it.
Woof, it is nicer now.

What is this young person doing at the top?
She is even smiling at our camera. Strange.

You can see the bandstand from here! Woof!

Grace went and sat at the top, but I couldn't get up there.
This is Eve trying to coax me up!

There was a friendly pug also, but I was scared of her.
Her name was Charlie, not Elvis this time!

Woofing nice photography there, Grace...

Yes, I sat there for a long time!

And then we went home!

Oh! I saw a Goose impersonator! At first, I was sure it was THE REAL Goose, but Eve told me it wasn't...


TODAY

Toooooodaaaay, I went to the normal park with Eve (she kidnapped me again).

Oh, but first, I went to see my springer spaniel friend Dermot.
 He has chewed off his thumb-paw-thing (you know, the thumb dogs have halfway up their arms), so he is wearing a pink cone of shame, because he is a bit of a girl.

Eve decided to tire me out with my ball.

You will NEVER tire me out!

Woof, we played with my ball. A lot.

We ran through the burn...

Eve, you cheater, you are using the bridge! Woof!

I'm not going in if you won't this time!

We crossed the many bridges...

There's a bit of sand in the middle of the big-burn-bit...

We went down there too! Woof!

We played hide and seek...

And I posed in the crocuses. Woof!

At this point, we were in the other park, and this happened:

  • A very big dog ran over and I was scared.
  • I was off the lead, and Eve got very worried.
  • The big dog started chasing me.
  • Eve was screaming for me to come back, but the dog wouldn't stop chasing me.
  • I ran out of the park onto the pavement. Aaaaaaagh! Woof.

Luckily, Eve caught up with me before I could get to the road, and she clipped me up. 
The big dog went back to his owner, who looked shocked. 
He waved his hand to say sorry, but I was still very scared.


Eve and I sat down on a bench, and she gave me a cuddle and a tickle and apologised and gave me into trouble and all that....


Then we started playing again! Woof!


You can see my tongue is sticking out A LOT!
I like this picture! That's why it's bigger than the rest!
Eve fairly tired me out!

We went back home, and did some clicker-agility-sort-of-stuff.

This is for Sara's challenge sort of thing.

I had to jump over Eve's leg without her using hand signals, only her voice!

This is how we got on...


Not bad, I say!

So, did YOU have a Happy Easter? What did you get up to? I'd love to know!

Thank you for visiting, it's good to be back!

Bye for now,
Pippa :) wuf wuf

Bloggy Break!

Hi folks!
Woof!
As you can tell by the dismal light, the weather is, as usual, not very fine.

The snow has all melted, and it is now raining. 
And there is due to be more snow and wind this week. Woof woof.

Woof woof meow.
(I am wearing my collar, if you were wondering what happened to my neck!)
So, it was tough, but I have decided to have a bloggy break!

The weather isn't going to be good this week, so I won't be going anywhere exciting, but if I do have some snow/sleet/rain photos to show, I will definitely put them up! Woof!

So, cheerio for now! I'm sure you'll see my cheery face soon again! Bark bark!

I am going to leave you with some oldish photographs of me and my place, if you ever feel like popping in past here on your bloggy travels, and are missing me!

Tutty bye!
Pippa :) wuf wuf

Sing-a-long with Pippa: Winter wonderland!

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening?
In the lane
snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're barking tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland!

Gone away
Is the bluebird
Here to stay
is a new bird
He sings a love song
And I woof along
Walking in a winter wonderland!
WOOF!



Hi folks!

Confused???
Well you should be!

What's happened to that glorious weather we've had over the past fortnight?
Has Pippa gone mad?
Why is she singing Christmas songs?
Woof?

Well, I woke up this morning and there was snow!!!
I mean, for goodness sake! I liked that sunshine last week!

Och well, I'll let it off because I LOVE SNOW! WOOF!



Eve came round and we played together!

This is a video:

And so is this:

And here are some photographs!

Hoorah! Snow! Woof!


Let's play!

Someone's made a fine snowman!

We had to go into the separate bit because Bobby is outside again!

The snow is deeper here, but I can still eat grass!!!

Fun, fun, woof, fun!

We are leaving no snow untouched now, woof!!

Having a good sniff around...

Haha, I got snow on my nose!

Yay! That was right good fun! Woof!

I hope everyone had a really good day! (without too much snow!)
What did you get up to?

I'm away to watch the Pastoral group in Crufts on the telly! Look at these two shelties!

(Sorry claire!)
Maybe I will do that one day!

Have you watched Crufts this weekend? Woof?

Unicycling, Driving and Footballing!

Hi folks!

Today I went to Grace and Eve's house!

Here I am at the gate into their garden.
They walked me here earlier, because it was such a beautiful day!

It's not normal to have sunny weather like this in Scotland, but I love it anyway, as you can tell by my smilie face!



Eve has taken out balls for us to play with!

Remember this?

And this?

Well, I've grown now! (It's exactly the same ball.)

Proud moment!

FOOTBALL!

No, you may not have it! Woof!

Tennis ball! Oh, and I don't like the rugby ball.

Using my nose to dribble the ball...

It should say Pippa on it, not Eve. Woof!

Their mum made  seedy-buns, it is rising in the conservatory!

Cheeeeeeeeese! Woof!

We are going to the Little Park now on their street.

Look what Eve has brought with her!!!!

I want a shot at it! Woof!

Time to go home now, so I will drive!

I will go straight on here, then take a left turn, I think...

Just joking! I'm not driving - I'm on the wrong side!

Home again! Whine. Och well!

I will leave you with a short-ish video of me playing football! The garden is quite small, so we can't kick the ball as far as we'd like to.


I hope every one of you had just as great a day as I did!

What did you get up to? I'd love to hear!

Have a woofy week!
Bye bye!
