It was George's birthday on 17 October. It didn't start off too well for me. I was sick several times in the night. Mum had to get up and clean it up. She said it was 3.45am and took took me into bed and cuddled me because I was groaning with tummy ache. I soon fell to sleep with mum to soothe the pain but she didn't! She said she felt dreadful all day but said I couldn't help being ill, although she said I shouldn't go on adventures into neighbours gardens as I had probably picked something up that made me poorly. I'm not telling her what.
Me feeling a bit tender and having a lay down in our basket. George had to join me even though he still wants to play with his duck pillow.
I soon picked up when George opened his presents and helped him share some liver cake. I hadn't lost my appetite, in fact I had lost all the food in my tummy so needed to refil it.
Here I am with one of the toys George got for his birthday.
We had two long walks and our aunty and nephew came on the second one. I kept going for cuddles off mummy all day because I still felt a bit poorly. I think that it annoyed George because I was getting more attention on his birthday. He even growled at dad because he thought it was me stretching across him to reach mum. He soon appologised to dad even though mum explained what had happened. Mum and dad fell to sleep later on that evening and dad didn't take us for our last walk till 11pm. Think that might have been something to do with me waking them up early.

My favourite walks: Yes I love walks, the longer the better.
Then when I go home, have a nap, I'm ready for another.
Running in the fields, in the woods, anywhere I can run with the wind in my beard.
The seaside and the beach, there's so many interesting smells. (avoid the rock pools though!)
