Cato:
Mum went out early, so we waited a bit then went out looking for her. We found her in the place that has stinky coffee, where we sit under the table, and they bring drinks outside to us.
No pictures, cos Mum forgot her phone! She was whining about it to Dad for ages.
on the way home Mum raided the bank to pay for our spa day, and Dad raided the butchers for their looooovvvvvveeeeeelllllleeeeeeeee sausages.
Tara:
Went to visit Arnty Lesley for Liver Treats
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
Tara:
So it was hot again today, so Cato has been a slumpy blob of boringingness. I mean, look at him! Too lazy to flip his ear down.
He wouldn't even show an interest in my stick wot I gave him.
So today is all about ME and my AWESOME SUPERMODDELLYNESS. And then Mum says she is going to squeeze a bit of flowery stuff in after, if there is room. But there won't be, cos my wonderfulness will fill up everything and there won't be any room left.
A very insolent pig
Mum:
Hi All,
Things have been a bit different the last few days. Dad has a stinking cold, which I am trying not to catch. It has been raining on and off. I have twanged my Achilles tendon a bit - it has been hurting for a week so a bit of rest seems a good idea. The mutts haven't had a walk in daysanddaysanddays (to quote them).
The rest seems to be doing my tendon a power of good, which is great. Dad isn't getting any better (we are hoping we will see a light at the end of t
Tara: Oh Aunties! today has been terrible!
We went out with Mum this morning for breakfast sausages. And AuntieJane, who we LOVELOVELOVE
So that woz fun.
But then it turned out that AuntieJAne has hurt her knee and couldn't walk! So Mum and us took her out to LOOK at the sea. And the beach. And all the sniffs we could see from the car but not sniff! It was awful. AND it rained! And rained.
And Mum and Auntie sat and talked and talked and talked, and Cato and I had to
Tara: So we didn't get a walk AT ALL yesterday. Nothing. It woz terrible. so I had lotsandlotsandlots of BOUNCE stored up. See?
We met thousandsandthousandsandthousands of paws today. So many I can't remember all their names. But I remember their sniffs.
Cato likes EVERYONE, doesn't he?
I bounced on him so hard that his coat fell off! hahaha! and Mum had to carry it.
There were whole flocks of paws around. And some of them were REALLY OLD
I decid
Mum:
we took the whole Pack; Dad, myself, Cato, Tara and Jasmine, off to Costa Coffee yesterday after work.
It is approx a 1/4 mile walk each way, with an outside seating area. That is about as far as I like walking Cato on tarmac, but they all had a lovely park scamper before breakfast, with Dad, so no one was missing out on sniffs or off lead racing today.
No pics, sorry. Juggling excited Jasmine doesn’t leave much time for cameras. Lol
Only one table free, and we had to
Tara:
So, this walk happened AGES AGO, but I was too busy being me and sleeping and stuff to blog it before now. I mean, we have been on holiday and stuff, and I want to tell you all about that, but Mum says I have to tell you about our stormy walk first. Booorrrriiiingggg! But I am going to, cos I am a good girl.
Mum says she put the stormy skypics up already, so I just need to tell you about my benches and my mud and my mountains.
This is the firstest mountain of the day. Ca
Hello Aunties!
Here is me in my donut bed.
and washing my knickers. Cato never washes his knickers. Thats disgusting, isn’t it Aunties? Boys are disgusting.
I HATE Spa Days! Mum did tell us, but that doesn’t make it any better! I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. Mum had to put my lead on first, and the drag me out! (Mum: actually Tara it was more like a gentle nudge)
So Mum abandoned us, like usual. And I had to have a stinky b**h. Cato woz all
Tara:
My turn! My turn! Cato did typing stuff all by himself, so now it is my turn to do blog stuff. Mum says. So there, Cato!
Mum has been too busy to blog for AGES, she says. Cos of the computer and work stuff. She has been whinging a lot about it. And goes and sits in the splashy pool to sleep it off. All seems a lot of fuss to me. If she didn't want to computer, then all she has to do is come out for a walk with me. She does too much computering and not enough walking!
They aren't interested in this, so I can put as many flowers in as I like.
These are my glorious Oriental Poppies, which came into bloom when I was away last weekend. I have counted over 50 buds.
These are my new rose. Beautifully faded to salmon.
All the rest of the pics are from today at Town Park, which should really be renamed Flowery Park, shouldn't it?
Bearded Irises.

Mum: sorry this is a day late. apparently, hot tubs alter your sense of time, and even (in some circumstances) allow worm hole travel to alternate universes where the time stream runs differently...
Tara: Dad took us out again, yay! More treats. Cos Mum was W*rking. And we went to see Pops and Mam (Dad's parents). Mam always has a chewy stick ready for us, and Cato always takes AGES eating his and I finish first and then they make me watch him eat his. If he didn't want to e
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
Too hot to walk again, I am afraid.
So I went outside, while the mutts were snoozing, and took these. As you can see, the snails got to the hosta in the end, and the ferns have done beautifully and are self seeding in the concrete cracks :). And there are no more monsters down the side passage.
I intended to scrape out all the moss, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. It makes the passage greener and less harshly concrete, doesn't it? More natural. I
Tara: My turn to blog! Cato has been hogging the blogging! Haha!
We went to Town Park today with Mum AND Dad today. It was fun. Though there weren't many stinky flowers for Mum. And the chicken place was shut. But it woz a fun walk. Look!
I was investigerating round the corner in that pic.
And this is all those big chestnut trees that Mum says are nice and cool and dark like a cathedral in the summer. Wotever. Did you know I went to a cathedral once. It woz very b
Tara:
We went to the sausage place and had Cato's gluten free sausages. Yum! and then we went on the beach!!! Mum says we have to make the most of the beach now, cos when the Easter Bunny appears, we have to leave the beach all the Hot Time, and only get it back in the Cold Time.
This is first sniff. of course.
Those people are farfarfar out. Mum won't let us go that far out. But it isn't very sniffy out there.
Look! They mended my mountain ramp. And my clim
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:
Aunties, I got to BOUNCE!
It has been terrible boring without bouncing. But today I bounced and bounced!
So, where shall we go? Which way?
This way! Oi! Wait for me!
Cato went to see his friend Derek in the Floral Hall (even though he is supposed to have Mum or Dad on a lead if he goes in there. He didn't wait.) And Derek has retired now, so he doesn't work there any more.
They had put lots of mulchy stuff on the ground around the plants
Tara: Mum went out this morning and left us the run of the house! Normally she would put us in our crates, with chews and stuff, and we would go to sleep, but this was an experiment. She says. Wot is an experiment?
So we were in charge. For ages.
Then when she came home she told us she had been to the human groomer, and had less head fur. But humans all look the same to me, so I just bounced cos I was glad she woz home and could give us some breakfast!
Cato: We did
Cato:
Mum and Dad had a bit of a disagreement today. Mum has a hurty place on her rear paw. She is calling it a blister. She got it on yesterday's walk. So she couldn't come with us today, cos she needs her paw for the weekend, when she is going away without us. By herself. For 2 days
The disagreement was cos Mum thought it was too hot, and Dad didn't.
That meant we had to walk Dad by ourselves. It is a lot of responsibility, you know. We took him to the park with the
Cato: We went to the woods today. It was soooooo lovely and cool and green and sniffy.
and these soldier people stayed here ages and ages ago.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-15491945
Mum doesn't let us go to these woods very often, cos before I was born there were some dog attacks (Mum: staffordshire bullterriers, I think) and some little dogs like me got splatted. It was very sad. But that hasn't happened for ages, and it is the skool holidays and lot
Cato:
Dad took us for a Spa day today. And we stink of baby powder. It is very tiring. And Tara doesn't help. All I want to do is snooze. Mum says we can watch tv together when she has finished blogging.
Tara:
So this is me all fluffy and b*thed and stuff. And wearing my pink and white polka dot bow. I like this one. But when you are a Supermodel Ninja, I think that hair should be able to stay in place when you do cool ninja moves on slug-like wimpy Catos, don't yo
Mum:
Photobucket is now back online, so have gone back through and added the pics.
Tara:
We had two breakfasts and two teas and two dinners today!!!! I have never had so many foods! I LOVE Cato being ill !!!
He had stinky fish. And I had proper food. But it was titchy little bits of it. I wanted the fish too, and Cato wanted my proper stuff, but Mum wouldn't let us swap.
Tomorrow we are going to have fish and pumpkin with slippery elm. Wotever that is.
Mum:
We went for a walk this week in Foxy Park. Seems like ages since we have been there, because we need the car to get there, and Dad has been taking the car to work most days recently because he has had a chest infection. But he is getting better rapidly now, so more interesting lunchtime walks are back on the menu. ?
The cherry blossom is just going over for this year, and falling like pink snow. The blossom is always better photographed in the sun, but even on a dull day it was
Tara: I love My Dad. He lets me on the bed in the morning when Mum gets up and does bathroom stuff. And he took us to the park today. A different park. don't know wot it is called but it is at the bottom of the hill beyond the traffic lights. We like it cos we can walk to it. Mum says it is boring, cos it doesn't have proper flowers n stuff. But we like it cos you can RUN.
Because it was Dad, he let me wear my old red jumper with my new pink lead. Mum wouldn't have let me. I love
