Cato:
Breakfast with Auntie Jane Today! Very waggy. We got so excited in the car when Auntie Jane appeared that Mum shouted at us for nearly bursting her eardrums. Wot are eardrums? We were jumping and barking and being very noisy. But it is very hard to be quiet when we see Auntie Jane! She is FAB!!!
After breakfast sausage we went to Foxy Park, but it was weird.
First great sniff:
No Foxy. He has definitely moved out. I got right down and sniffified the hole, a

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:
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:
Hello Aunties! We are home! It was great (except the horrible car which went on for ever and ever and I hated).
This is Our Grandad Garden. Isn't it lovely?
There were jackdaws and rabbits and even foxy sniffs through the hedge. And birds and bird feeders and fallen bird food and a birdbath to drink out of.
Mum took lots of flower pics. But I don't mind telling you about them, cos you can just imagine how fab it was, if the flowers were good, imagine the
Tara:
Twice round the dog field today! And through the cemetery. And down the slippy leaf road!
And we had that horrible forked lead thing on, which EVERYBODY hates, but Mum says is good to teach me manners. Don't know what manners are, but I HATE them. Lots of pics of me having fun, and Cato getting squished. So it is all good.
And Mum says that since I chewed the last wooden brush handle, I am not allowed another. Not fair! I only chewed it cos I LOVE it so much, and it w
Sidney: 2nd day of window open all day. And now my foot hurts. Pork for dinner. And Mum says I have to stay in today to 'rest' it. I live in a Nanny State. But I left a pork chop bone on the top stair this morning. I was watching through the bannisters. She nearly trod on it in her bare feet. Another Machiavellian plan foiled by human luck. Humph.
Tara: Proper walk today! With lovely Auntee Jane.
This is us waiting in the car for her to appear!
I a
This is her den in the corner of the front room. We feed her in it. The orange cushion is Cato's current humpy cushion. It has 5 corners! He likes the corners very much. And orange has always been his favourite colour in toys. So presumably that goes for sex toys too. ;)
This was at her littlest.
This is what Tara thought of the whole Puppy Nightmare
And this is what Cato thought about it:
But eventually things improved. Cato
Mum:
Just got time to write yesterdays blog before we set off on todays Train Adventure. Probably won't post the next one til we get back, unless the wifi at the hotel is MUCH better than expected. We are leaving an incredibly grumpy Sidney, who has been following me round all morning screeching to have his window open. But we are bribing him by leaving a bowl of tinned catfood in jelly, some crunchy biscuits AND an entire skinless chicken thigh. Hopeflly he will have calmed down by tom
Cato:
Hello Aunties! Sorry we haven't been blooging much lately. Mum has been doing stuff on the computer for ages and ages, and had lots of work. She had to finish it by tomorrow, so we should get some better bloggy stuff done soon.
We did get our night walks though. They are sooooooo interesting. Everything sniffs sooooooooo different after dark... Tara deosnt' like them though. She gets a bit sillier and a bit flappier.
Anyway. Today we took Dad back to the beach today.
Tara:
Haha! Hello Aunties!
We went to the sea, and it woz hot, and I bounced on Cato. Look!
Dad wozn't with us, so I had to show Cato how to mountaineer, like Dad shows me.
and we went all along this mountain range. Cato just followed me, so I woz the Trek Leader. Mum says.
She also said that if I went and bothered that family who were pickernickering (see the man in the red shirt, sitting with his family all eating interesting stuff) then she would die of
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
Tara:
Ooooh Aunties, it woz the bestest walk today! Dad came too. Mum took LOTS of pics of me on the summitty things of mountains, and beating up Cato. Look!!!
This is me on my first mountain of the day. Mum says I look proper statuesquew.
This is me and Dad on the long mountain range, while Mum and wimpy Cato stayed down on the path. I ran backward and forwards over and over again, and bounced on Cato every time! It woz ACE!!!
This is Cato in the dark.
Come on Aunties! Follow me!!
We had a walk yesterday, but it was after Mum finished work, so it was too dark for pics. Today was dark and grey too, but it was dry and not too cold, so we didn't need our jumpers.
I decided that this little pink girl was a bit wobbly, so I followed her for a while to make sure she was OK. She was.
This is Mum pointing the pic at the sun - see the watery white light through the branches? It was very wimpy, wasn't it? Tara used to
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
Tara:
They took AGES at breakfast. And every time I whined, Mum prodded me with her toe. She made me stop! Not fair! I was just pointing out that they could talk boring stuff while we were walking and eating sausages!
Anyway, eventually we went to Foxy Park - but only after Mum had given away a piece of my sausage. We were just getting to the Sausage Bit, away from the cafe, and before we got into the car, when Mum says 'Hello gorgeous!' to some fluffy Pomeranian. And the Pom's D
Mum:
Thought I would go first today. So there, Tara! Just trying to get my story in first, before they publicise their 'take' on the day. I have noticed how they just seem to ignore facts in favour of dramatic flair, sometimes.
OK, so firstly, it was all a genuine mistake. I planned a nice walk, and then Auntie Jane called and we arranged to pop over in the evening, to see her and Uncle N. All good so far. Only then I thought 'well, if I wear them out with a walk, they won't be m
Tara:
Mum did me pigtails today. I look supercool and Ninjaey. And Mum says that me and Lacey are going to skool at St Trinians.
This is me before I Ninjaed.
And this is me after.
It woz a bit hot. Mum says we are having our winter coats off, so I can be cool. I think she means less panty, cos I am always cool, aren't I?
I got some little matts in my armpit yesterday. Ow! Mum said I was too delicate a pwincess to have them brushed out, so she got the skis
Cato:
Mum had important Mum Stuff to do, so we all went as a Pack and stayed in a hotel. I had been there before, when I was very little, but I still didn't like it very much. It is always very stressful when Mum and Dad put all their bags by the front door, and I have to go and sit with them, and worry in case they forget me. I mean, I know that Mum and Dad wouldn't ever forget me. I know that. But I still worry.
This is our hotel. There weren't any signs up about paws keeping h
Cato:
You know how much we love Mum and Dad. We do! And we love walking and sniffing and snuggling and wrestling with pythons and EVERYTHING. So we are happy. We are.
But... we used to do more walks. Back when Mum was taking dictation and me and Tara were blogging every day, it was HARD work! But we got to go out all the time, and went to interesting sniffy places. Different every day. And it was hot and sunny and nice. And muddy and fun.
For ages and ages and ages we hav
Tara:
Hi Aunties!!!! We have been off doing interesting stuff and sleeping and eating and everything, so we've been far too busy to blog.
But today we only had a visit to Mam (that is Dad's Mum) and a walk round the park, so I get to blog for you and show AuntieCrystal flowers.
Did we tell you that Pop died? It happened in a hospital near Christmas. We are all sad about it. He used to mess up my sprouts and call me a boy, but I did love him. Mam is sad about it too. So we g
Tara:
Mum forgot her camera on our walk today! Hahahahaha! Bad Mum!
We had a fab time, but you can't see any of it, cos she FORGOT. So you can't see Bailey the Big White Bouncy Boxer that I had to hide from on a bench. Or the swans. Or Bertie the JackRussell/Chihuahua/Pug who played with us. And I played with HIM. And you can't see how dirty Cato got cos I bounced on him in some really soggy muddy grass. Mum was not happy. Hahahahaha!
Cato:
So Mum says that if
Cato:
Today we went to Pops and Nana, and had chew sticks and cuddles, and Pops larffed at Tara's yellow bows.
Then we went to walk in the Town Park with Mum and Dad so it was a proper pack walk. Lots of boring flowers and not many pics of me and Tara, although there were lots and lots of sniffs too. We met a few paws, including a very nice black Lab and some barky SausagePaws. Mum says the light was bad, so you can't really see how nice the flowers were.
These are the boring f
Hello Aunties!
It is Mother's Day here, so me and Dad and Tara put our Thinking Hats on and decided wot to get for Mum on her day.
So we got her some chocolates. Dad says I have to tell you the were expensive and posh chocolates by somebody called Lindt, so that you know we love Mum very very much. And Mum likes chocolate. So that is OK.
And then we got me... er... Mum a new cushion. It has a picture of a very sexy babe on it. And I chose it specially.
I like Mum'
Tara:
Amazing walk today! Wet and wild and bouncy. We went twice round the big lake and I saw sleet and stuff. It was very exciting. The photos won't show nearly how exciting it was. And we got SOAKED to the skin and it was FUN. And there was mud and EVERYTHING.
Cato:
It started out lovely and sunny, although there was a really cold wind. And neither of us had fancied much breakfast.
But half way round, the cloud came in, and Mum and Dad were scuttling as
