AuntieCrystal! Mum says you are back! And I wanted to say how much I lo -
Tara:
No! Me first!!! Me First!!! I missed you lotsandlotsandlots more than Cato did! So I go fir -
Cato:
No you didn't! And you made my back hurt! So I get to tell AuntieCrystal about my l back pain and my harness horror and my special trip to see MrsPawChiro. That is more important than you going first and wittering about your hair bows or something!
Sidney:

Nuff said!
Cato:
So Mum took us back to the Fox Park specially to check on the cherry blossom, and there was hardly any! The daffs are nearly out, and a few other sprootles were sprootling, but nothing exciting.
Mum says that the cold winds last week have set everything back, but at least the buds weren't blasted by the frosts. Me and Dad don't know what that means, but she was chuntering about it.
We are ge
Tara:
We went to the Little Park today, and it was ACE! We started off in the wilderness bit, where the seeds get into your knickers, if you bounce in the long grass too much.
We had a good fight there. See how I chose the muddiest bit I could find?
This pic is just before Cato jumped on me! You can see him plotting.
Then we went with Dad into the big open bit. See how I am skipping with excitement, cos I know what is going to happen - PING PONG! It i
Cato:
Yesterday we went for lunch with Mum and Dad to the sausage place. It was a working day for Mum so we had to rush. Mum had boring fish, and Dad had boring eggs, so Dad asked the nice lady for a sausage for us! We like the nice sausage lady. She brought us our sausage all chopped up on a little plate specially for us!
We like the sausage cafe and the sausage lady!!!
Mum would have taken a pic of our sausage, only she had been so busy with work, and we were in such a rush
Cato:
Mum just gave us stinky black fish egg stuff.
I didn't like it.
Tara didn't like it either.
It was sniffy and fishy and bobbley. And Mum said we could only have teensy little bits, on account of it being very posh and Russian and shiny and stinky. She said it was something called Lumpfish Caviar wot she found in a corner of the Human Food Shop, and since she had never ever ever ever tasted Caviar Stuff before, she got some.
She needn't have bothered.
Dad did
Went.
Came back with wet legs so must have got muddy and been bathed.
Been sleeping for the last 4 hours.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ !
Cato:
Very exciting day! We went to the Small Park (with the green fox's bum) and Mum did her usual boring picture stuff. And Tara did her usual silly bench climbing. And we met Auntie Carol! She is the Auntie who runs the puppy classes that both Tara and I went to when we were really really little. And I got really excited to see her, and ran around play-bowing and wagging my butt off. She picked me up and snuggled me, and remembered me too! No picture of her though, because of some
Tara:
Had to sleep all day cos Mum was working. Dad went out too, but not to work. He went to see Pops and Mam, but didn't take us! So we slept instead.
Today was windy so all the sniffs blew past really quick. And there were seeds and cut grass. Mum says she needs to check my knickers for tangles and stuff. We did Our Field and the Cemetery, and down the Slippy Road, and saw a CAT!!! It was tortoiseshell, so it wasn't like Sidney, so we tried to chase it, and had to look in
Cato:
Remember last week when Mum and AuntieJane got all cross and bothered about some flowerbed? Well this time Mum took some photos to show you. From all the flapping and squeaking and stuff they were very upset. But no one lifted me up to show me, so I didn't see.
But there was lots of sniffage around the wall of the raised bed, so I didn't really mind. And some recycling bins that smell fascinating. Mum says there may be rats and foxes that check out the bins at night. Isn'
More of this blue stuff - still don't know what it is, but bees LOVE it!
I have been walking past this sign for a couple of years, and today I actually read it! Hahahaha! Turns out it lists the rose varieties by name.
The scents are exquisite, especially when the sun comes out...
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
Tara:
It woz a horrible walk today. There were scary big paws everywhere, and I didn't like it!
This is Cato's first widdle/sniff.
and look at this lovely wet squelchy mud. I wanted to go swimming, but Mum kept saying how cold the wind woz, and how we needed to hurry.
See how windy it woz for the swanses? and the other birds.
I asked Mum not to take any pics of me today, cos I didn't have a bow AGAIN. It fell off! Mum did brushing and bow stuff this mornin
Cato:
Yesterday Mum had to work through her walk-time so we couldn't show her all the new sniffs. And then Mum and Dad went out for dinner! And didn't take us with them! Even though they went to the Steak Place where we had Megasaurus Steak last time! We had to be shut in the front room with our chews, knowing they were Steaking!
But then when they came back, they had brought home some of the Megasaurus that they had hunted, and it was all OK.
Then today, we all set out
Tara:
Finally! Mum has catcheded up enough blog for me to tell you about my Big Adventure! I woz AWESOME!!!
And there aren't any pics cos Mum and the camera were left at home.
So, first off, Mum and Grandma and Grandad had this big boring conversation, all about walks, and were there poo bags, and did G&G have water, and yawn stuff like that. I wozn't listening, cos Grandad had the leads in his hand and my ears switch off then.
Then it got really exciting, with leads a
Cato:
Oooh it was hot. Mum said only once round the lake today on account of the hotness, but in the end I didn't want to go round again. It was hothothot.
this is the pink Vetch climbing up the post
don't know wot those purple things are, but Mum says they are special and wild and pretty.
It was windy! Can you see the wind doing weird stuff to the water round the island?
Look! There are new swan pups!
Mum said 'Now Cato, behave yours
Tara:
Mum didn't do her boring work thing today, and Dad wasn't doing his boring work thing til later, so we went out for breakfast sausages.
This is where they ate, and we sat under the table, like always. The floor is very clean, which is a pity. I always hope for some dropped food, but there never is. We then go outside, and just before we go onto the beach, Dad gets out his napkin and we sit-ever-so-good and we get chuncks of sausage. Then we have the strength to go and
Cato:
Foxy park today! Mum keeps taking us there hoping for this big cherry blossom thing, but really, it ain't that special. And it is too high to reach to sniff!
it was nice and sunny though. And the daffys are out. We always sniff them, cos they smell interesting.
see how i am trampling the yellow bit? Brings out the sniffiness.
Mum also took photos of little purple things. But the most interesting bit was the Foxy Hole. Mr Foxy is definitely liv
Cato:
down to cafe for breakfast sausage, only it was very windy and cold. It was warm at the house, and cold at the cafe. We woz both shivering, even tho Mum got our bed out of the car for us. Mum says we should have our coats kept in the car for next time, just in case.
remember that pic of our car with the netting put up by dad?
well this is the netting put up by Mum. Much safer. Tara hasn't wriggled through since!
not many pics today cos Mum and Aunty Jane were
Cato:
Dad's shift started a bit later today, so he came out for a walk and some sausage with us, then went straight off to his Work Thing. It was fun.
See how quiet the cafe is? No one to say how cute we are and stop to stroke us. But it meant that the sausages came very quickly, although we had to wait until were were outside before we got ours!
The beach was HUGE today. There was no edge to it, and the sky came all the way down to it, and the world just fell off the ed
Tara:
I remember this one, cos of my amazing mountaining see!:
Mum had cut my piggy tails. cos she said they were too long. And I was back to a boring pony. In purple. And we woz on North Beach cos Mum felt bad about me not being able to mountain on the new groiny bit on the main beach.
Cato didn't like the squishy seaweed stuff under his toeses. But I ran backwards and forwards and bounced on him til he chased me. Haha!
There were more interesting s
Tara:
Hey Aunties. Mum says I have to do a bit of blogging even though I can't remember much... cos we have to catch up the bloggification. So here goes.
Oooh look. That is me and Dad. and the pier. and some clouds. we must have been on the beach.
and that is me running. doen't I look fab in my PINK jumper. All slim and athletical. And running. Towards that lump of wood. I look good, don't I? I wonder if I was going to climb on it...?
Oh! I REMEMER!!!
Mum:
It was a dull day, but here are a few pics showing how lovely and fat my clematis buds are, and how fab my strawberries are looking!
Also, the poppies are still flourishing. They are a true salmon pink, although they look less salmon here.
The iris again
Cato:
Hot hot hot. But the sausage breakfast woz nice. And seeing Auntie Jane woz nice too.
Foxy park woz very still and hot and sunny, and even Tara didn't bounce ALL that much.
although she did a bit. mainly in the shade!
This is my EntMoot snoozing in the sun.
and these are the knickerprickle grasses wot Mum uses treats to keep us out of.
Tara:
This is me squishing Cato. He was a bit floppy by this time. He
Mum:
Just some pics today, no paw commentary (will explain in next entry).
First we went to the station to check on something.
Then a trundle on the beach. have a look at the sand. Very smooth, isnt it? That was the high tide storm surge we had. There was a mad out beachcombing, and damage to some of the steps, and the water had reached the sea wall. Oh, and the last pic is the front of the crazy golf course that we took some pics of a week or so ago.
Tara: Another of my Mountain Castles today. It was FAB!!! (Mum actually it was within a mile of the sea, but it was on a bit of a hill)
I climbed ALL over it, and Cato didn't. Haha! This is how humungous it was - and builded all for me, like you said, Aunties.
There woz even a moat!
This is wot it looked like inside the gate bit. There were school kids running about being very noisy and clumpy. But we had to keep Mum and Dad on the lead, as usual, for safety, yo
