Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year from me too!!

Claude.

Hello Everyone,

We know it's been a long time since our last blog, but we've been very busy, so please accept our apologies.  We're now both in France and have been for most of the summer - it's great, lots of space; loads of adoring friends; walks galore; titbits and mice to eat!

The weather's not been too good, at least that's what people say, although we don't mind too much - as long as it's not raining.

Since we last wrote we've had a comment from a chap called Benson, who lives in York and apparantly he also has a house near us (well, we think it's near us - it's in the Loire Valley anyway!).  So, if you read this - "Hello, Benson".

We have some new photos to add, which we'll try and get NIce Man to sort out when he gets a chance.  Unfortunately, he has to work in England all through the summer, so we don't get to see him too often.  He's coming over here soon, which will be good, cos we miss him.

Anyway, gotta go - people to look longingly at (in the hope of getting some food!) and mice to catch!  Speak soon.

Hello again.  Hope you've had a good week.  I'm a bit disappointed that my blog hasn't created any comments or anything - perhaps nobody's reading it or worse, perhaps nobody's interested in it!  Oh well.....

I'll keep plugging away for a bit longer.  I've had quite a good week this week - a few good walks, Nice Man has taken me to work, so I've been able to sniff other people, get the odd titbit, etc.  There's a guy there who really doesn't like dogs, but he's quite kind, so I make a point of sniffing him and sitting next to him just to wind him up.  But he's too nice to say or do anything!!  The humans took me out for car walkies yesterday. Spent the whole day in the car but I went to see my human sister at her college, and then we went to see some other people who took me for a walk while some of them had tea and chatted about stuff.  I think they were people we met in France, I can't really remember, but I know they seemed to like me.  I think they might be coming again this year, so that'll be good.

I'm hoping to get a good long walk today, as it's Sunday, but I haven't seen any sign of the humans yet, apart from one of them coming down to turn on the thing that makes steam after a while and gets mixed in to some cup and then smells different.  I don't get too close to that, it is very hot and burns your nose when you try to sniff it!

Well, that's this week's news.  Speak later.  bye for now.

Just been out for my walk - great!  But it's absolutely brass monkeys out there!!  Nice Man and Nasty Lady both came with me, but Nasty Lady took forever to get ready - just cos it's cold!  Some bouncy boxer nicked my ball half way through the walk and wouldn't give it back, but he was only young so I went along with it.  He got bored eventually and dropped it and fortunately the humans went back the way we came so we could get away from the little blighter.

Anyway, we're back now and I'm stuck in the kitchen til I've dried off - bit of a pain, but it's worth it.  Well, that's all the news for now - looking forward to an evening stretched out on the rug in front of the telly.  (Not as good as France -we have a raging log fire for me to stretch out in front of - absolute bliss!)
