Happy Days

Today was a good day.  Cryn came home to see me at lunchtime.  We didn't go for a walk but we played and cuddled a lot.  I was so upset when she was leaving again for work that I weed in the house.  I don't know why I worried because she wasn't gone for long.  When she got home I was fast asleep and a bit dozy when she woke me up.  That didn't last for long.  She's been reading a book about doggie training which said that she should vary my diet  a bit.  So tonight we both had chicken, mashed potatoes, curly kale and cauliflower cheese and gravy.  Mine was mixed in with my food and was so scrummy that I left her alone to eat hers in peace.  Until I'd finished mine then I went and tried to nick her mash off her plate.  Got a bit of a telling off of course!

Then it got even better.  We went for walkies with Sarah, Ethan, Lenny and Lily and 2 of Ethans friends.  It was so exciting because there were other dogs over the field.  And there was a border collie who hates other dogs so his owners stayed on the other side of the hedge.  When the kids jumped the fence I had to follow and run after the dog hating dog.  No one could catch me even Cryn who had to run the whole length of the field to get me back.  It was absolute fantastic chaos and I loved it.  Cryn and Sarah were very stressed and decided that when Neil gets home from Mexico he and Masi can take us all out while they stay at home and have a glass of wine.  Cant wait!! ( Nor can Cryn)

When I got home Cryn thought I would go to sleep but no chance.  I found a ball and ate it, weed in the lounge humped Juliette and farted a lot.  Now its time for bed I'm snoring downstairs and don't want to move.

Can't wait till Thursday when Neil comes home cos I miss him loads!

Uh oh!

Cryn was off work on Friday. We went for a walk in the morning and then surprise! She took me out again in the afternoon. But did she take me over the field? No she didn't We went to the vets! And I heard her booking me in to have my bits chopped off! 28th oct is the day. And £145. Even worse I'm not allowed to eat that morning. No way will I survive that
Went to see Mu again today. And I wasn't sick. At all. The vet tried to sell Cryn one dose of doggie travel sickness pills for £30!! I think she's going to let me suffer rather than pay that much. After all it's Cryn that has to clean up after me. Had a great time at Mu's. Scattered a box of tissues all over her lawn and ran off with her newspaper Luckily Cryn went to pets at home and bought me a bone so I plonked myself down on a nice bit of soil and had a good old chew. Them they took me for a walk. I think I nearly pulled cryn's arm off. I don't like all this dawdling malarkey!! A good doggie day today for me I weigh 20.5kg now Big Bubba Watts :))

Showing off a bit

Here I am showing off my posh new reflective collar.  I made sure my leg was covering my dangly bits!

I wasnt sick yippee

Well, I told you I would have to go to Mu's on Saturday.  I thought I was going for a walk  - I was on my lead but then Cryn stopped in front of her car.  I sat my bum down and wouldnt move but all of a sudden Cryn oiked me up and plonked me in her car.  And then it got even worse.  She put Radio 2 on with Tony Blackburn ansd started singing songs from 1959!!  Luckily I got all the way to Mu's without being sick.. I dribbled a lot just to get her worried. 
But it was worth it when we got there.  Cryn left me with Mu while she went shopping.  There was lots of goodies to play with - brooms brushes and shoes this week - Mu doesnt learn.  She had to chase me all over the lawn - no way was she going to catch me but she had a good go for her age!
I wasn't sick on the way home either.   So when I got home I was still full of energy ready for when Neil's dad came round to watch the speedway GP 

Sunday was pretty uneventful (that means boring)  Cryn went bowling at night and left me alone for a couple of hours.  She blocked the stairs off so I couldn't get in the bedroom and wreck everything  When she came home I was fast asleep on the sofa as there was nothing else for me to do

Tonight we went for our usual walk over the fields  when I heard my name being called   It was Lenny and Ethan my next door neighbours.  Sarah had seen us going out and bought the three kiddies and Rocco to see us.  And then it got more exciting - two more dogs came and we were all running around with a ball for ages and ages.  When we got home I was snoring within 5 mins.  Happy doggy days!

This is my favourite sleeping position

A bit undignified I know but real comfy. 

This is me with my girlfriend Juliet.  When I've finished abusing her we like to snuggle up together

And me with Muppett

And Scooby Snack

They put up a bit more resistance than Juliet.  They keep well away from me when I'm bouncing around like an idiot  This is where Muppett tries to hide from me!

They're no fun.  Maybe I need a little brother or sister to play with !!!!!!........

Creepy!

Went for my first walk in the dark tonight. We went round the block and I had to stay on my lead all the time. And even worse we didn't see any other dogs. I was gutted and not to say just a little scared. So I pulled hard and made cryn's hand sore. That will teach her for making me go out at a creepy time of night.
I think it was probably punishment for ripping up her newspaper, taking her glasses and boots and weeing on her leg. I managed all that in an hour tonight.
Tomorrow is Saturday. That means I have to go to cryn's mums. She has a really big garden with lots of plants to dig up But I'm always sick in the car. Cryn covers the seats with all sorts of towels and sheets just in case. Tomorrow night Neils dad is coming round to watch the speedway on the tv. He bubbasat me on Thursday when Cryn went out and I managed to sneak into the conservatory and eat a remote controller when he wasn't looking. Easy prey!!

A little bit sad

Yes I'm a little bit sad. Neil has gone to work in Mexico for three months. Cryn has told me he's coming home every two or three weeks. But until then it's just me and her for walks and playing. Just to keep her on her toes I've weed three times in the house today including a nice trail down the stair carpet and a bucketful in the kitchen. Yes I know the back door was open but it's been raining all evening.
Had three long walks today. Met lots of dogs including one which was on heat and kept her tail between her legs and three more which all jumped on me. I was a little bit scared but I wagged my tail and everything was good. Phew!

Hello Everyone

My name is Bubba and I'm a very cute male Mannoroy Springbatt puppy.  I was born on 2nd April 2011 which makes me almost 6 months old at the moment.  

Here's couple of photos mum Cryn took of me when I was 8wks old.  Yes I'm the cutest puppy ever( along with all my brothers and sisters of course!)

 

Just in case you don't know, a Springbatt is a cross between a Springer Spaniel and a Basset hound.  Apparently I look more like a Basset with massive ears and big feet.  I'm pretty long too! I've grown a bit since those photos were taken from about 5kg to 18kg now!!

I'm a fourth generation Springbatt.  My Dad was Alfie a first gen, and Mum was Bubbles a third gen.  I have 9 brothers and 3 sisters some of which my human mum keeps in touch with on Facebook. 

I'll try to update my blog regularly so you all know what I've been up to - good and bad - yes I am naughty sometimes apparently.
Got to go - I  its walkies time.  Mum bought me a new collar today as I'm growing so fast.. Its real smart - red and grey stripes and its reflective - much better as it will start getting dark early soon apparently.
