Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

If you are reading this in the UK, then we hope you had a lovely long weekend.

Yesterday we went to visit Morag's mummy in York and we had a lovely day. We have to report that Daisy was very naughty yesterday for the first time ever! Both Martini and Daisy wear harnesses which connect to the seat belt holder when we go a long trip trip. Not only do they save them being catapulted through the windscreen in a head-on collision but if a door is open on a busy road then they cannot jump out of the car - Martini has discovered this as he has ended up "dangling" from the seat belt holder in his harness. Anyway, at some point between Junction 41 of the M6 motorway and Kirkby Thore on the A66, Daisy managed to wriggle free of her harness and squeezed herself under the passenger seat of our car! Not even drama queen Martini has managed this trick so we are going to change her name from Oopsy Daisy to Houdini Daisy!

We have posted a photo of Daisy today in her harness so you can see why we are puzzled and wonder how she managed to get out of it.

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

We decided to go to Silloth for a walk today but unfortunately Morag forgot to take collars for Martini and Daisy and only had leads. As Silloth was busy with holidaymakers we decided to go off to Mawbray further along the coast instead. It is always much quieter at Mawbray so we ended up having a lovely walk around the grassy dunes. The weather was much nicer this afternoon than it was this morning so we had lots of lovely sunshine for our walk. We have posted a photo of Daisy at Mawbray today.

We have received photos from our Pawparazzi Day and have put the winning photos on the photo wall in the salon. We asked Toby for some extra photos from the competition and these will be put on the photo wall as well.

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

It was Martini's birthday yesterday and he is now 5 years old! Yappy Birthday Martini! Martini got a new toy for his birthday (and Daisy got one too) and then Martini and Daisy had a special birthday treat of sausage and mash for supper. We only went as far as the quiet road yesterday for a walk as we had rain on and off all day and then went to visit our friends at their farm where, of course, Martini and Daisy were spoilt again.

The weather was really nice here in Cumbria this afternoon so we rounded off Martini's birthday weekend with a lovely walk at Thirlmere. Morag had her trusty phone with her so we have posted a photo of Martini posing on the wall around the lake and you know how much he loves posing! We all had a lovely time and we hope you have all had a great weekend too.

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

We missed posting a blog as we have been very busy. Last weekend a very old friend, Ian Chapman and his wife, came to visit us. We all had a lovely time catching up as Ian and Morag had not seen each other for around 20 years!

We have posted a photo today of Martini and Daisy with their friend Jack (in the middle). It will be Jack's birthday on Thursday of this week and he will be 3 years old - so big Yappy Birthday Jack from all of us.

Martini also has his birthday this month on 13 August and he will be 5 years old. Talking of Martini, he has now reached new levels of naughtiness - he has found the hooter in the car and knows how to use it! He is usually connected to his seat belt but if he is loose he jumps into the driver's seat and doesn't press it just once. He also loves to sit on the sofa by the window and look out but just recently he has started watching the postman, barking at him and then running to the letterbox. We should be thankful that he doesn't destroy the letters as they appear through the letterbox - if he did it would be "taxi for Martini".

We have had to go for our walks between the rain showers and as it has stopped raining we are off for our walk.
