Cuddles

So it has all been a bit an upheaval what with Miss T abandoning us for The Ring Tailed Lemurs and The Naylors coming to visit. But all is good with the world now its all back to normal and We do love each other really........

Great South Run

Pre-10 force gale 3 mile run on the home straight - the hair didn't look so good when we got back.

PB on my 10km time at 1:00:41 and did flat 10 minute miles all the way round.

Dobbie hung out with his crew back at the house but I know he was willing me on from the sofa.

Prettiest Bitch

So its a late post but just got sent this photo.

Tarks won some rosettes this year

very appropriately she got Prettiest Bitch 

(she really really is - LOOK at that perfect face)

Our Most Amazing Week

So We went off to Bala this week for walking, eating, cuddlin', walking, snoozin' and then more walking followed by some more walking and then a little bit more walking.

Day one we went up Snowdon.....

 ......it looked like a very long way from relative comfort of The Boot.

 I got to walk with Marvellous Mat and his most excellent bitch Lisa

 The views were pretty spectacular.....

.....which was a good thing as Me and Tarks were pretty nippy up The Pyg and spent quite a bit of time waiting for our Humans to catch up!

 It was amazing at The Summit

 and I hung out and Looked Cute to please the tired crowds.

(This is not a good shot Mum as all my admirers seem to be all looking in the other direction - don't let this fool you - I was a Hit on the mountain).

 The cafe at the top is not dog-friendly but Mum was very excited as we still got to drink take-away Hot Chocolate al fresco at the top (and I had some with a bit of chocolate cookie after I helped mum finish her ham cob).

Ouh it felt SO GOOD!

I was glad to spend quite a bit of time in my Outward Hound Sling

 and Mum was very happy to carry me - she said it was "good for her buns" which I thought was very generous of her as her buns are already pretty tight.

 Tarka is completely all-grown-up was a Very Good Dog and didn't chase any sheep - which kept everybody in a good mood (phewie!)

 So the best bit of the whole sheebang is the pub where cuddles and pork scratchings seem to be the done thing..........Bala Rocks!!!!!

Dog Guilt

So Our Flat 9 Purchase Paperwork came through the letterbox today....and it had a Big Important Chunk ripped out of it.............Me and Dobbie chatted about it....but he didn't show this much remorse - He is gonna watch this vid for some learning about appropriate remorse.....

Back To Tanglefoot

So We came home from Our Naylor Holiday and went back to Tanglefoot for a Whole Weekend of Socialising and sharing my World-Famous-Cuteness with Suitably Appreciative Grateful People.

Mum cooked an Amazing meal in a flash on Friday night and I hung out with Wilson (who is a Legend)

Marmite came too. Grrrrrrrrr

She is all better after The Hideousness of Christmas Day which They are all pleased about but We still don't Dig each other that much. 

She knows deep-down I am King and I just tolerate her attempting and failing- miserably to challenge my World-Famous-Cuteness.......zzzzzzzz

Tarka has stopped being a Freak.........Thank The Lord...........and Aunty Tiny missed me appropriately and made a big fuss of Me.......and Marvellous Mat came down to look after Me whilst Mum was working and so everything is cool again.........

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Rockin' Rock

So we all went off to Rock last week for our Lovely Naylor hols.

It started off with a blissful relaxing ride down the coast on the train where Dobbie caused great-happiness and widespread-joy by looking Ridiculously Cute and being Ridiculously Good at all times.

Granny took lots of time for Dobbie-cuddles....

and as we relished in the very last chinks of this amazing summer sunshine we had some lovely walks in the dunes...

and on the beach.....

 ....and of course there was always somebody to lend a hand if it all got too tiring on the way back home.......

The Sister and I had some lovely Sundowners on the beach

Dobbie made an attempt to look like a Daschie after meeting some of his brothers-by-anotha-mutha in Padstow. 

The Sister made waves and realised She's still got IT!

and we all had a pretty Awesome time.

We ticked all the Naylor-Holiday traditions boxes........

1) Eat mussels as often as possible - mine were okay, Dad's were legendary!

2) 2x Bedruthen Steps Cream Tea

3) 1x Rickies fish and chips

4) 2x Salt and pepper Squid

5) LOTS and LOTS of LOVELY wine

6) 2x lovely (for The Sister) / hideous painful (for me) runs along the beautiful coastline

7) 1x amazeballs cuzza (sorry Sis you missed it)

8) 1x smoked haddock + a poached egg for breakfast (followed by inevitable chat about "why don't we eat this for breakfast EVERY day coz it's SO amazing??)

9) several delicious crab-based meals - damn the expense - "£17 for 250g fresh crab??? - YES - gimme gimme  - Mum can make it taste worth every penny"

10) general endless chat about how all the best bread in the world can't measure up to Mum's artisan efforts.....

SO we didn't Do Lobster this time - I think this is because as decadent as it is it just NOT a Naylor tradition and it will never beat Dads Mussels, My Cuzza or Mum's Bread.

And we MUST not forget The Sisters contribution - enthusiastic and uncomplaining washing up and dishwasher-packing-and-unpacking is an underappreciated skill.....bless you you little under-appreciated hard-working underdog X 

(and thanks for giving me the BEST jigsaw in the world - LEGEND!)

We stayed in an amazing Fancy Posh Person's Pad with 5 bedrooms and just as many WC's and that fact is only remarkable in how much its totes normal behaviour for us now....one of the many benefits of being a family that all have worked hard in this life to pay for the finer things in life.....and YES - the fact we had 1.25 bathrooms EACH.............made it all worth it!!!! 

And so.......

........onto.........

.....quite easily......

 The Best photo EVAH taken of 

***The Dobstar***

Nothing will ever beat THIS POSE in my opinion

 LOOK at that Movie-Star-Face 

he is SO wasted here with me at boring old Flat 9....
