Cato:
Oh Aunties, I nearly lost Mum! It was terrible! But she found me. So it was OK.
I was off snuffling and exploring, and I know the way, so I might have gone a bit ahead.
But she and Tara went down the tunnel, and I didn't see, cos I was sniffing amazing sniffs.
And I know that Mum called me, cos she always does. But I kind of didn't hear.
So when I looked up and didn't see them, I ran on, cos I thought I had got left behind. Only when I got ro
Cato:
Ooooh we had a FAB walk today. First it was Auntie Jane and sausages! Yay! And then it was Foxy Park! Yayay!!!
But I did hear Mum and Autnie making strange noises about something called Gluten Free, and how there is Gluten in sausages, and how Gluten makes Thyroid stuff worse, and how my tummy should be Gluten Free. It is a bit worrying.
Anyway, here is our lovely walk:
This is me and Tara meeting Becky's Mum. Becky is the spaniel. She was even more timid and sil
Tara:
We had a lovely walk today. With AuntieSue. And I got to sit on her lap! And I love her.
Cato was all pushy and wanting attention, see?
But look how much I love her! I love her more than he does!
And isn't my bow pretty?
Mum was doing lots of yellow tree stuff as we walked round. Not interesting.
This is me asking for AuntieSue and Mum to sit down. They didn't. I really like this bench. I jump up on it every time we go past. Doing
Cato: Hi Aunties. Mum has been very busy too busy to blog for us. And there was bad rain too.
We actually started having a beach walk on Monday, but it started to rainrainrain and we all came home, without pics.
Then Tuesday it was HorbbibleWet. All day. So we snuggled with Mum at lunchtime on the sofa. But then Dad took us for a walk on Wednesday when Mum was out. We missed her lots, but she came back, so that was OK.
This is our walk with Dad. Lots of space to run and
Cato: Dad had to go to work, so Mum and us went for a walk. We all wanted to try somewhere new and exciting, so Mum did GoogleFu and found us an interesting BirdReserve thing, which we all thought looked really interesting. Only it wasn't. Don't tell Mum, but me and Tara were a bit bored. Hopefully Mum won't take us there again.
IT was supposed to be all sniffy and full of interesting birds and paths and sucky sand, and stuff. But when we got there all the interesting bits had 'Keep
Tara:
Gosh it was wet today. Dad says he thinks I am going to stop widdling outside when I am old and cranky like Cato. But I won't. It woz just that it was a bit of a shock to be carried downstairs all warm and snuggly and lovely, and then be dumped on the doorstep with Dad's toe scooting me up the tail! Pushing me out into the cold wetness for my morning widdle! A girl should be given time to think about these things, before being shoved out in the wet!
I may have got a bit boun
Cato:
Mum has been watching me for my Autumn Snuffles. And she thought this morning that they might have arrived. So today I had my special Snuffle Tablet (in cheese!!!) before our walk, and I haven't been snuffling at all. Not sure why Tara had cheese too though. She doesn't get snuffles, so why does she get cheese?
Anyway it was a great walk. See:
This is my favourite poo spot. I didn't need to today. But I always think about it.
Tara wanted us to stop at this
Cato: Aunties!!! Look wot I found! Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!!!
I found it here. It is sniffy and soggy and utterly perfect. I took one look at it, and KNEW it was meant to be...
I just gave it a gentle sniff to start with. And rolled it around a bit. Just to get to know it, you know.
But then I rolled it about, and between Dads legs... it was MARVELLOUS.
And I found some sticky out bits, and I can pick it up! Look!
Dad offered to carry it
Cato:
Mum says some of you have horrible stormy weather at the moment, and we are veryveryvery lucky to have sun and a park to walk in. So we are sending you all these boring flower pics to cheer you up, if you have storms. Mum says she can't send you actual sniffy roses, so this is the next best thing.
We went to Town Park, and obviously, this is the first and deepest and bestest sniff! You can have all the sun and flowers. We will keep the sniffs.
This one was as we wa
Cato: Oh aunties, Mum is very down in the dumps. Her camera is dead.
you know how I don't like all the piccing, cos it is more important to focus on the sniffing. But Mum LOVES it. And she loves blogging you with her silly flowers. And you all seem to like them.
anyway, we got our sausage, with AuntieJane, and then we went down on the beach - and the camera died with the first pic!
Mum said a bad word!
Dad thinks it might be the black string thing that Tara isn't allow
Cato: Dad took us to AuntieGroomer this morning. We now stink of babypowder stinky stink stuff. But we are lovely and soft.
Mum says no walk today, cos b*thing is very stressful and cos we walkedandwalkedandwalked with AuntiDogsitter.
So today we snooze.
its LOVELY.
Tara: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Cato:
Hello Aunties! Today Mum and Dad had visitors. Smelly stinky visitors to do mysterious things to the central heating. And the gas. And Mum says they are fitting a new boiler wotever that is.
So we decided to go and visit with AuntieKimDogwalker for the day, because you know how sill Tara gets with visitors. especially bangy visitors making their bangs upstairs where she can't fuss them and get their attention all the time.
So here we are, on AuntieKim's facebook site wi
Tara: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Cato: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Mum: As you can see, they are a bit tired after 2 days with lovely Auntie Kim.

and (best of all) Tara was playing with Scruff The Puppy. Probably because she met him yesterday too. Result!
Tara:
Cato is a BAD BOY!
Cato is in the Dog House!
Cato was naughty naughty naughty!
(and no pics to show it)
Mum had computer stuff, so Dad took us out for a fun sausage and beach walk. It was ACE. We watched him have his breakfast. Then we went outside and had our sausage, and then we went down on the beach. It was lovely and sunny and sandy and bouncy, and I was having a great time. I was bouncing A LOT cos it was such fun, but I wozn't actually bouncing on Cato
Cato:
Pack walk! Dad is going to walk with us all week, cos of his shift patterns, which is ACE! So we took him to Foxy for a proper Pack Walk.
It is really starting to sniff of Autumn now. Lots of leaves are frisping and going brown and stuff, and there are NO FLOWERS, so Mum is hardly piccing anything now. Which is great.
This whole walk was at lunchtime, but BEFORE OUR BREAKFAST!!! so we was really hungry. We kept trying to remind Mum and Dad that benches mean treats, but
Cato:
We found the donkeys! Yay!
and the Pier!
and we got down onto the beach and had a lovely sniff and explore under the pier again. And checked on all the stuff that needed checking, and widdled on all the stuff that needed widdling on.
Someone has stolen all the old fishing nets And someone else has moved in lotsandlotsandlots of sand! It is higher under the pier and comes higher up the ramps. Halfway up Mum's waist higher. That's a LOT!
Mum
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
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
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!
Tara:
I really don't know wot all the fuss was about. He wozn't hurt, woz he? And he is fine. So it wozn't even a proper attack. My prickle seeds were much more serious, weren't they Mum?
So we went to Bear Woods, and I beat Cato up. I think I had eaten his breakfast too (Mum had to go and answer the phone, so she didn't stop me, like she usually does. So I MAY have eaten his breakfast. I can't remember. But my tummy is lovely and full). So he was all floppy and not much fun t
Tara: This woz our last morning. At dawn. Mum got up specially early and saw the sky and had to take a pic. I stayed on the bed and didn't see it, cos I woz on my back sleeping.
And Mum says you want to see this. These are ferns growing out of the wall in our back yard widdle area. She sas you can see how old the wall is and how clever the ferns are. Like ferns could ever be clever! ha!
And then Mum and Dad did all the boring packing, and I checked that D
Tara:
Mum says that we can go back on the main beach soon! On Sunday!!! With Auntie Jane!!
But we wanted to go on the beach TODAY, so we had to go to the North Promenady thing. And Dad came too, cos nobodies working today. It was ACE. Look:
I beat Cato up really good
Don't his foots look silly? Hahaha!
Until he got all cross and difficult. spoilsport!
I like this beach. There woz nobody else on it.
and there woz lots and lots of m
Tara: Today was a no car day! Yay! We stayed in Alnmouth and did beach stuff and cafe stuff, which woz good!
This is me on the beach by the river. It woz fun!
This woz further along. These dogs were very lumbering, but they weren't scary. And there woz a woman sitting talking on her phone, and she rubbed me under the chin which I liked.
Mum says she is very disappointed with this pic. She says it is flat and boring compared with how it really looked with
Cato: Today was full of hills and sniffs and rhodododododendron mazes, and waiting for people, and Mum sleeping a lot.
It was another long trip in the car, which I don't really like, but it was worth it! We got to somewhere called Cragside https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/cragside, and went around the road on the estate. It is miles and miles and miles long, and has woods and lakes and benches, and stuff. It was all builded by this important man who liked water and got sunken b*ths and
Tara:
No pics! Haha! Cos Mum let the camera battery go flat on hol, and now it needs a new battery. Wotever that is.
So yesterday we went for a walk to PingPongPavillion Park and then today we went back to Foxy, both with Dad cos Mum was doing computer stuff. It woz fun, but you can't see it cos of the battery thing.
Cato:
So Mum says we have to blog something different, cos you can't see us doing stuff in pics. And she says that me and Tara have to put our thinki
