Yipee - it's snowing! And the fun never seems to end... while mum and dad go to work, I head over to Tracy's house to hang out with my best mate Jessie and some other lucky dogs that happen to stop by. Here are a few pics of us hanging out this week. What can I say? It's a dog's life.

Thanks for the pics Tracy!

Took a trip down to the New Forest to see my cousin Purdy this weekend. She's a six month old black lab and while she could really throw her body weight around, I was a bit quicker so we got along famously.

Age: 18 wks
Weight: 29.5 lbs

My back right leg is healing up nicely from the bite. Even better, vet Liz excused me from getting any stitches :) I hung out with Tracey, my dog sitter, Jessie (my Staffordshire Bull Terrier friend - bring it on, Border Collies) and the rest of their gang yesterday. We went for two walks and had lots of playtime, so I was very sleepy by the time mum & dad came home from work. I'm a bit more awake this morning, so keen to get on with another day of play.

I'm really getting bigger now - less wrinkles, more muscle around my head. My weight is coming along - though I was down a bit last week from all of the holiday fun & games, I've managed to catch back up and am still keeping with the average two lbs per week.

Been in the wars of late - my eye is still giving me a little trouble but Mum and Dad are helping me out with that, a little dab of ointment every morning. I had my first trip to day care on Friday, started out well playing with lots of dogs but then when I jumped on a sleeping border collie, the aggressive sod turned round and nipped me in the leg - nice puncture wound to show for it, but I didn't let him know he got me. Got taken home shortly afterwards and Dad seemed pretty annoyed with the carer. In fact, we had a quick run down to that vet place again - a little jab later and a pig's ear to show for it, and back home in no time. Mum was on the phone as soon as she arrived home and I am now going back to see Tracey, who I stayed with for the New Year - she's great and I get to play with my mate all day, yipee!
