Mum says even if she ate cream cakes all day every day she doesn’t think she’d put on weight as fast as I do. 20.6kg when I was weighed at the vet last Friday – less than a third of what I’ll be eventually but not bad for four months! And I am getting more and more handsome by the day (so I’m told).
I think all the hard work I’ve been doing in the garden has been helping to make my muscles big and strong. Here I am a couple of weeks ago, when mum and dad spent the weekend digging. I dig in the garden too but they tell me off – it’s not fair, how come they are allowed to and I’m not?
I’ve learned how to go down stairs now as well as up, which means I can get into every part of the house. There’s one room where I feel particularly at home, there is a lovely fluffy thing on the floor which I like to lie on. Mum says it’s a sheepskin rug and it’s obviously my ancestral shepherding instincts coming out. I just think it tastes nice.
I’m campaigning for a new bed as I’ve nearly outgrown mine now, but I still love it and spend many happy hours there. It’s always annoying when mum or dad come and kick me out of bed in the morning, I used to get up and go straight into the garden but now I tend just to roll over and get my tummy tickled. Dad says he is late for work every day.
