Mindy's Early Morning Run!!!!










Hi to everyone again - it's me Alf. I wanted to update you all on Mindy's mission a couple of Saturday mornings ago.








We got up a little later than usual at 7.00am and Pinky Daddy said he would come a walk with us and Pinky mummy up the track where we go in the mornings - I amble along sniffing whilst Mad Mindy runs up and down and tries to catch mice and birds and things.

We got to the top of the track and Mindy saw a Partridge so she went into the next field to try and catch it - she came straight back when she was called and Dad was going to put her lead on but Mum said no leave her she'll be o.k.....................famous last words.

A bird took off and started flying away over the fields - which to be honest go on and on and on and on. Mindy was off - She was called - shouted - yelled at all to no avail. She was running really fast - followed by Dad who was trying to run after her at an angle so that he would eventually be infront - Hah who was he trying to kid - it was so muddy that his boots were gathering mud and they were getting biger and bigger! Eventually after Mum started running as well followed by me behind, Mindy stopped to do what Muppets do when they go walking, luckily that gave Dad the chance to get her - she was straight back on the lead and marched back home. She was so lucky that they saw the funny side of it...........otherwise she'd have been in the bad books for a good while! She never did catch the bird. We thought Dad was going to have a heart attack - he hasn't been running that early in the morning ever! He hadn't even had a cup of tea!

Anyway she's not being let off in the mornings at the moment because it's dark in the mornings and who knows what she'll do..............!!!

I've attached a couple of pictures of the track and the field and a very tired Mindy after the ordeal!

Holidays

Hi again

Twice in one day we are getting good. More like there's nothing going on at Pinkies work so she's doing it from there!

Anyway, as I was previously saying we went to Cornwall and met up with Bob. Two weeks before our very own Pinky had been in hospital to have an operation on her right wrist. She had been having pain in it for about 4 years and it had got too much so an operation was needed. It turns out that she has 'Synovial Chondromatosis' which apparently is a condition that men get in their knees wait for it..........in their 40's. It might have escaped the surgeons attention but my mum is a lady and she's not yet 40!!! Well not far to go but still not quite 40!

She is a mystery - which we all knew anyway. She was off work for 3 weeks and stayed with us and then she went back to work - Daddy Pinky had to driver her to work and then the plaster came off after 5 weeks - her arm was horrible, we thought ET had moved in.

So when we went to Cornwall we didn't do much because of Pinkies plaster!! We did however have a good time and because the weather was soo good we stayed on for an extra couple of nights!

The pictures in the slidey thing are me trying to get the stick off Bob - I did it in the end but they made me give it back!

Catch you all soon for more installments!

Building and Knocking Through











Hi everyone,








Well as usual it has been sooo long since we blogged, it's all down to our Pinkie, she gets home from work and starts helping Daddy Pinky to do building work, walk us and feed us and then is too tired to start blogging. We try nagging at her but sometimes I don't think she listens.








Anyhow - since our last blog we've been helping with the building work (pictures attached at end). We knocked through into the new kitchen last weekend - pheweee what alot of dust, where does it come from - well I know where it comes from but it keeps appearing - I've asked for a mask but never got one, I was told to stop whinging and go outside! Huh - don't they realise that I'm the foreman!








Also we've been away on holiday to Cornwall where we met up with Pinkies school friend and her husband and their dog 'Bob'. He's a Border Collie that has had a pretty tough life up until now but unfortunately he doesn't have a personality he just doesn't communicate with us dogs - he likes Pinkies but doesn't want to communicate with us, still that's fine I got the stick off him in the water! I didn't realise that he was swimming (Mindy this is)! so when I went chasing after him to get the big stickie I was out of my depth and came running back out quick! I waited for him and then when it was only upto my knees - I got it off him.! Ha that'll teach him to be mean to Mindy! Alf on the other hand didn't even get his paws wet, he doesn't like water whatsoever.








Anyway - I'm off to download some photos of our times away and will be back later with more!
