New Year's Day 2011

Yappy New Year everyone

On the first day of the new year we would like to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous 2011!

The time seems to have flown from our last blog on Christmas Day. We had a great Christmas Day with friends who invited us for lunch.

On Monday 27th December, we were invited to a "mulled wine and mince pies" party by Miss Petunia, Bobby and Freddy's family at their home near Cockermouth. We had a lovely time at the party and there was lots of food but we didn't have any mince pies! Daisy Duke aka Daisy Dyson was nowhere to be seen - she decided to hang out in the kitchen underneath the buffet probably hoping for food surprises to fall from above! We think Daisy was trying to keep a two room distance between herself and Morag (who keeps a close check on what Daisy eats) as Daisy has been on a diet and so far has lost 1.3kg. This may not seem a lot at first glance but when you are only a foot tall it all counts. Martini, on the other hand, thought he had it made in the lounge as the coffee table was a good height. The guests who were playing on the Xbox game kept putting their plates on the coffee table which was too much of a temptation for him and he found himself in trouble a few times for trying to get the food off the plates. We were surprised to find Miss Petunia was so quiet but then we found out her vet was a guest and with Morag arriving too she probably thought she would have to have her pony tails re-done.

Morag has spent some time decorating this week as her mummy is arriving from South Africa later this month so she would like everything to be spick and span. Only three weeks to go so there are plenty of things still to do.

On New Year's Eve, Sam (Bichon) and Ruby (Sprollie - x spaniel/collie) came to the salon for their hair appoinntment. Thank you to Sam's family who brought us flowers which was such a lovely surprise. We then had a quiet New Year's Eve with us just cuddled on the sofa in front of the TV trying to keep our eyes open for the countdown.

We have posted one of Morag's favourite photos of Martini which was taken about 18 months ago in the garden by Toby. Martini and Dougie had been chasing each other around the garden for at least half an hour when this photo was taken but we think he looks really cute.

With happy new year woofs and tail wags
