Having finally come out from behind a rain cloud for the weekend it much appreciated. The children have been playing with us in the garden most of today as well as a bit of quiet time lying on the sun loungers having a cuddle.

Ben and Elsie with ice creams and us waiting for them to drop the ice cream.

Daddy saw me on the lounger without being invited up and I got told off, Fatty on the other hand was not so bothered by the wonderful comfort these loungers provide.

Ben and Elsie had ice creams and shared them with us, I was helping Elsie and Fatty who has a soft spot for Ben was with Fatty.

Sunday some friends are coming round so I think we should have fun. I do hope it a nice day again.

Yours Ratty

Ratty and Fatty smell of wet dog. Yuk!

Oh the excitement of having all the children to come and play with us…… Oh oh oh it is so much fun.

The Girls with Fatty in the garden

Jan Moore with Ratty.

They arrived on Friday with much running about and shouting. They had a cuddles with us and Archie let us sit on his bed which we know is naughty, but he told us it was OK. They had to see their friend next door round.

On the Saturday and we were given a raw lamb bone each. Mine was a bit small and I thought Ratty should share and give me hers, but she refused and growled at me a lot. Hummmppph

Chilling in the sun…

Today has been a relaxing day for Ratty and Fatty, they have been out in the garden most of the time playing with next doors dogs Shouty and Squeak.

After a bit of sleeping in the sun they went for a 3 mile run with Dad, whilst he worked in the afternoon they caught up on nap time ready for the evening

On a wonderful walk in the Cotswold countryside with Ratty and Fatty today. Fatty found the biggest muddy puddle you can imagine, up to her belly in mud. Mud on her face, tail, back and now wiped on my clean jeans. Deep joy. Why is it that labradors alway can find the mud and water in any field? Tho she did look so happy with herself and was throughly loving running though it.

Ratty was on the other hand very unimpressed with this gratuitous mud fest with all it beneficial uses of getting rid of stray fur. She was tippy toeing between the puddles looking on as if Fatty was mad.

All in all a very entertaining walk

RATTY : A Chihuahua which is really naughty!(she doesn’t listen to what you say and to put a cherry on her crimes she sits on the sofa when not invited.) when the dogs are going to lick the dishes she goes before you tell her to.

FATTY : A labrador wich loves eating!(her favourite food are bananas.)she loves running around and making you exhausted. she is amazing at football apart from the fact that she pops the ball.you could try teaching her to play tennis by hitting the ball with her head but she would probably catch it instead and not give it back
