Tara:
I hate it. It is scary. I hate it.
Mum lets me out through the door sometimes (Mum: first thing in morning, and last thing at night) and then she makes me use IT the rest of the time.
Yesterday was HORRIBLE. She made me sit outside the catflap looking in all morning (Mum: 20 mins) and tortured me with treats (Mum: a calcium bone treat on the floor 2 feet inside the catflap), and it was raining! (Mum: the catflap is positioned under the roof overhang, and did not get wet).
Mummy was planning to keep you all updated over the week, but we was only allowed so much internet data and the older kids used it all up within a few days. And mummy could only get 3G on her phone if she hung out the top window. She said she couldn't keep doing that because it didn't look very good and the little Scottish midges would eat her! We don't know how they would manage that because they are very tiny...
We had such a lovely time in Scotland. We visit a ruin..
It's a trian
Abby mail...
Pssst! Send mom out the room and don't let her read this ok Tara? Cato you run outside and bark like crazy so she's not reading this.
Pip and I have 2 extra tickets to a mud party tonight.. Can you sneak out the house and join us? Just look at this paw..it's it glorious?
Well it's day 1 for a healthier me..... Journey to lower my cholesterol, lower blood pressure, lose pounds and stop smoking. That's a lot isnt it....hope to look back in the coming months and say it was all worth it.
Started last night sipping cinnamon tea instead of coffee..Good for arthritis inflammation ....... I'm a die hard all day long coffee-holic and this isn't going to be easy so let's see how bad the withdrawal is going to be this time around .....I've done this before and the fir
Cato:
Mum left us with AuntieKim today. It was a GREAT walk, but I wish Mum could have come too.
These are the pics from AuntieKim's Facebook thing. We got all wet and muddy cos it was raining. It was lovely and cool.
This is us waiting for Mum
Then we had a bath and our breakfast, and then we snuggled with AuntieKim, and then we came home with Mum and SLEPT.
We slept all night and slept lots of today too.
AnuntieKims walks
Cato:
IT woz nice and cool all the morning, so we went out for a walk, and then it got HOT, so we didn't mind all the pics, cos it meant we could have a sit down!
Tara still managed to bounce though.
This is me busy on busyness
The park was EVER SO FULL of people.
I like meeting people, but there are some dangerous drivers! Mainly little boys on little bikes. Girls too. They look and look and look and don't stop pedalling, and it is like they can only stee
We sensed something was going on, Daddy wasn't at work and Mummy was rushing around then she made us take a travel sickness tablet. Then in the car we jumped and we were OFF!! On our holiday....
We made it up here on Friday. It was a fairly long journey but Mummy and Daddy said we travelled really well. We are staying in a beautiful cottage. The inside is lovely, it's been newly renovated, the outside WAS a different story. Long story.. The refuse bin was full and there was bags on the dr
Cato:
Auntie Jane couldn't come. Something about cricket and the weather, and stuff. Weird. But it meant that we could take Dad and show him Town Park. Tara really just wanted to show him where she fell in, and maybe fall in again...
Anyway, here are some interesting sniffy holes. I widdled on the tree. Well, you have to, don't you?
It was LOVELY to be able to run and sniff again, even if Tara came too! We got there really early, and left before 8.30am. Best Sunday EV
Mum: So, we got up early and went for a walk before breakfast today. IT STILL got too hot, but at least by that time they were worn out and going slowly.
The flowers were AMAZING, and I ended up snapping so many that I need an extra blog entry so that the Mutts don't resent the floral take over:
The park rose garden from a distance, doesn't look much in this shot:
But the closeups tell a different story
Bored and waiting for me to finish taking th
Tara:
No walks! Too hot! Hate it!
Cato is either sleeping or chewing one of MY pigs ears. Mum is too hot to snuggle. Dad is doing Windows 10 installation stuff.
Will we ever walk again?
They won't let me bark in the garden! They won't let me go for a walk! Python wrestling is boring!
and there aren't any killer attack monster plastic bags to find!
Cato:
Ooooh it was so nice. The last few days have been soooooooo boring. But Dad took us to Foxy, in the shade, before it got too hot, and we could run and run and run.
Dad is my hero. He got up early to take us for a walk. AND he got up at very early to take me down for a wee. I love him.
This is me running. Tara says I look silly. But not nearly as silly as she does. Cos Dad took us out before Mum had time to brush out her bedhead and put in a Thing. You know, a PINK t
Hi Aunties, Me and mom haven't been around much for awhile now cuz quite honestly I've been taking care of mom... It wears me out cuz she is an Awful patient.. They say we are stubborn, hah they don't Know stubborn!
It all started back when mommy woke up with her eye swollen shut.. Umm No I Didn't kick her in the night! She had a stye and an eye infection and had to get meds like I got for mine. It's better now but for some reason her eyes are still blurry so she don't see so good.
Well I know they are, and they've learned that there's strength in numbers as well as an intimidating stature.
On the 4th of July, we were at the next door neighbors party for a bit with the tzu crew. They were finally relaxed and not afraid of Teddy, the neighbors 70 or so lb Goldendoodle. Max used to pee himself whenever Teddy came into our yard and went after him to play so this was real progress until....
Decker was sleeping next to my chair belly up. Teddy decided to put his nose
Tara:
Monster! Monster! I saw it! I saw it first!!! Monster!!!!
Cato:
We just found a Monster! It was very exciting. The back door was open, cos of the hotness, and we went out for a patrol, and we saw it, flapping dangerously round the garden under the table! So we barked and barked til Mum came to investigerate. We would have got it, of course, only she came too quickly.
It was a Monstrous plastic bag!!! Flap! Flap!
I have to keep going out and checking

Tara:
Sausages 2 days in a row, for Breakfast! Mum says it isn't to be encouraged, and now we have to go a whole week without sausages. Not fair!
But we did see Auntie Jane, and go for a Foxy walk. We always do Foxy on Sundays, cos of Aunty Jane. It was fun. Hot but fun. Of course, Cato wimped out, as usual. I will show you the good bits, then Cato can do the boring bits. Sounds fair, doesn't it?
Here I am, near the end. 3 sprouts today, but a bug got in them, and I had t
Tara:
Hahaha! Cato has gone for a snooze after all that blogging about our other walks, so now I get to tell you about our exciting walk today. With sausage, and summer beach dens and EVERYTHING!
First we went in the car to the salt marsh beach, but then we went North to the Centre of the Universe, instead of South to my Memory Benches.
They had planted trees and poppies nearby.
This is wot we saw (it was very dark and we thought it woz going to rain)

Cato:
Dad took us out really early cos it was going to be hot, and we just went round the PingPongPavillion park.
It was very, very sunny. And hot. And sniffy.
I went on strike, cos I knew we had to go up the hill on the way home,
but Dad didn't fall for it, and I had to run to catch up.
Then the next day we went to The Big Lake again, with Dad instead of Mum.
And we walked the same route we did with Mum day befo
Cato:
Mum had a busy week, on account of doing Mum stuff upstairs. Sorting and cleaning and wardrobing and stuff. The walks were once with Mum and three with Dad, and one day off cos of rain. But we can't remember all the details, cos they were AGES ago now, so Mum said we could do afew blog thingies at once and catch up all in one go, so sorry if this is very long.
Tara doesn't understand wot Mum means, cos she can't remember wot happened yesterday, let alone 3 days ago, so I will
Tara:
Hello Aunties! Cato has been telling Mum off for falling behind with the blogg dictation. this woz our Monday walk - that is ages ago, isn't it? Bad Mum!
Cato wanted to give AuntieSophie'sHaven something to read when she has her morning coffee. I do too! Only I want to show you pics of ME! Cos they are more interesting than boring word stuff.
Here is a flower. No one knows wot is is, but Mum likes it. But then she is flower mad.
Look, nice Mr Council Man ha
I wanted to share one of my favourite toys. I love my frog, Mummy and Daddy bought it for me when we was on holiday last year. I think I'll pack him in my bag when we go on holiday this year.
When Mummy puts me to bed, she always gives me toy to cuddle up too, but I don't take him to bed though, he's my play toy.
Tara:
We had MacDonalds burger! It was YUM! We were going to have sausages, but then it rained, and Mum said we would have to sit in the car and eat and wait to see if it stopped raining. I said I didn't mind the rain, but nobody ever listens to me. But the burger was LUSH. Although I didn't get much, and I was starving.
Then we went to Foxy Park and I splatted Cato. It was ACE!!! Burgers make me even more Ninja. So I should have them every day, shouldn't I, Aunties?
I had
