A quick catch up....

Hey everyone

We must firstly apologise for the lack of correspondence, this is partly due no sorry down to the pinkies. They have been trying to finish the building work, it's still on going but now the driveway is done well almost it will be done next weekend! We ran out of blocks but now we have some more!

Errrrm what did we do in June? We went to the caravan for a long weekend and that was good, we had decent weather, I went in the sea - but not for long so don't worry I won't be doing it again for a while!

July - we went into kennels -pah the cheek of it! The pinkies went to France for a week and left us behind, do they not realise that we can go now too! Although mum did say that it was a long way for us to be cooped up and they were on the boat for 4½ hours as well as the 4 hour drive to get to the ferry port! So maybe we would have been a little bored!

The week soon passed though and they were soon there to pick us up when they got back! We even found out that they travelled in the Muppet Mobile, I mean fancy using that and not taking us with them! Oh well at least they had room for the push bikes and all the other stuff that they seem to take with them! Apparently it was really nice in France and they ate and drank far too much - (no change there then!).

Considering it has been summer it hasn't been very good to be honest, I think we had one week where it was about 30 degrees and then that's it! I did go in the local river though - I'll attach a picture for proof! To be honest it was that hot I just needed to cool my paws down.

Mum has been quite busy this last 3 weeks as unfortunately our Nannie Pinky had a slight stroke in August and was taken into hospital she has since come home and made good progress but last week had a set back and was taken back in, this has gone on and she has been admitted into hospital 3 times, luckily she is back home again now and waiting to see a cardiologist as they think she may have heart problems. It is shocking as she is the fittest 67 year old we know, she walks our legs off and just keeps going. Paws crossed that she will be better soon as she can't go walking at weekends with us at the moment it does her in just coming down the stairs etc.,!

Well I'll leave you with a couple of pictures and hope to catch you all again soon.
