Thursday *Living it up in the Countryside*

Dear Diary

What a day today. Mum and Dad took me for a big looooong walk on my long rope to a cafe. It was such a long walk the I had to walk through some deep puddles for a rest. When we got to the place there were so many exciting things. I meeted pigs and a bonky and grumpy chickens and leeeeetle horsies and something Dad called an alpalma. He said it was cause he wasn't sure whether they were alpacas or llamas. I don't know what any of those things are and the alpalmas wouldn't talk to me so I don't care for them.

I also met a really growlly dog called Jack. He is an old dog who works at the cafe. He didn't like me at all and Mum had to pick me up because he tried to bite my bottom! How rude. He got put away for that. Mum says I mustn't judge him because a naughty little dog probably bit him sometime and that's why he doesn't like me. I understand so I wasn't upset at all.

Then we had a really loooooooong walk back and I found an even deeper puddle for walking in! I like to keep Mum guessing about whether I'm a water dog or not. 

In the afternoon I got to play outside with the little human that lives with Aunty Sarah and Uncle Greg. She's really cool and I want to give her millions of kisses all the time. I'm not allowed though so I'm getting A LOT of Leave It! training and the little human is getting much braver too. We'll be friends soon. We got to share a carrot together and run around in the sun. 

I looked for badgers again in the big pile of grass, but the sneaky badgers had put some sort of hot burny thing in the middle of the pile and I burned my nose. I guess I won't be digging in there anymore. Naughty badgers. 

Then Mum went away and I helped Dad and Aunty Sarah stack a big pile of wood. I made sure there were no badgers in the wood pile and got all tangled in rope and got stuck under a shed and had a great time. Dad said I was hard work. I don't know what he means!

Tonight everyone got cool sausagey things out to play with. I had so much fun chasing them and biting them and pushing them round and best of all - making them go BANG! I liked that a lot. Mum always rushed in a picked up the dead sausage bits, but I don't even care about them, only the live ones are interesting. 

Wednesday *Road Trip - Eventually*

Dear Diary

A lovely sunny day today and Mum AND Dad were both home! Fun times. Lots of playing and snuggling and playing and napping and snuggling. That black cat is still not running away from me as much as I'd like but I can't work out how to get things back to the way they were before. He keeps hitting on the nose when I try and chase him!

Mum took me up to the high dog park and there were lots and lots and lots of dogs there today. Some of them were really fun, like little Atari the Staffie cross, we played lots and he was a great ball chaser. Mum tried to get me chase my new frisbee, but for some reason she kept throwing it away. If she doesn't want it then it can't be very good so I just hunted for badgers.

There were some grumpy mean dogs at the park too today. They barked and barked and barked at me and their owners just let them bully me lots. Mum rescued me and took me away. Luckily there were lots of other fun dogs so I forgot all about the bullies. 

Once we got home all sorts of strange goings on went on. My den got packed up and all my toys put away, then some got put in a bag with my blankets and bed and stuff. Mum got the cool sucky machine out, but I wasn't allowed to play with it. Dad gave me treats for not playing with it. 

Then lots of things got put in the car. Then I got put in the car with Mum and Dad and we drove and drove and drove! We finally got to a place I've been before. Aunty Sarah and Uncle Greg's! Their place is really fun because it's out in the countryside and there's sometimes big white fluffy dogs to play with (I'm a little bit scared of them), and they leave delicious treats in the grass. 

No fluffy white dogs when we arrived, but I made sure to check their paddock and drink from their trough. Then I found a ginormous mound of grass to play. It was sooooooo fun, I was sure there was a badger in it, but there wasn't. I'm going to check it again though, when Mum isn't looking, just to be sure. 

I ran round and round and round the house lots and played with a ball and then had to go to bed early because I was just too excited. I can't wait to go adventuring tomorrow!
