Some of my encounters along the way - from 2006 to 2009
Most of this video was taken whilte we lived in Brittany, France. We had a fairly large garden there, and a lake, so we got all sorts of animals visiting us. The house was only a few metres from the Canal Nantes - Brest where we had lots of lovely walks.
The only thing none of us liked was the shooting season, sometimes the shooters would cross our land, even though they weren't supposed to. Sometimes they were shooting very close to the Canal and the guns were very loud.
Video Memories from 8 weeks to 3 years.
These are short clips of videos, put together from when I was 8 weeks old.

A NEW ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY 20 Jan 2011
Today we had a special event. A new member of our family, I haven't met him yet. I am told I have to wait until he has had all his injections.
This is Buddy, he is Auntie Kathrine and Uncle Chris's new Chocolate Labrador. He looks lovely and I am really looking forward to meeting him.
Dad says he is only a few inches tall, but will soon grow to be as big as me. I hope he doesn't grow any bigger than me, and I think Auntie Kathrine thinks the same.
Uncle Chris is one of my favourite Uncles, he calls me Slinky, I don't know why, Mum says its because I have a wiggly bottom. Uncle Chris always gives me lots of treats and tickles when I see him.
Well I am looking forward to having lots of walks on the beach with them all. And it will be great fun to have Buddy to play with.
They say that at the moment, Buddy just wants to sleep as he is just a baby, all his growing is making him tired. Poor Buddy.
Hurry up Buddy and get some energy so we can run along Tynemouth beach together. I can teach you to swim as well. I can't wait.

Sunday 16th January 2011 A WINDY DAY
Its a dry day today, a bit cloudy but quite mild, just the way I like it. The only thing about today that I don't like is the wind, and it's howling and blowing quite a bit.
I am still not quite back to normal after my sickness last week, Mum and Dad are talking about me going to the vet if I am still not good next week. I am not desperately ill, I am eating, and greeding, but still not 100% (I won't tell you gory the details, but apparently I smell a bit).
Anyway, as I was saying, its a windy day, the doors in the house keep rattling and I just do not like this. Mum has the kitchen window open and I think this is what is making the doors rattle. Each time I hear a banging of the doors I snuggle up close to Mum or Dad. I am not really a coward, but I just don't understand why it happens. I don't like noises like this, its like the fireworks and the shooting, I get really scared at these noises. It reminds me of Normandy and the drums and brass band.
Last night in the garden it was very dark, and the wind was blowing very hard, this really scared me. It blew my fur all over and I ran back into the house, its just hard to think that one day its lovely outside and next there is this horrible blowing and noises.
Well I think we are off for a long walk this morning. Mum and Dad have been changing the kitchen round all week and have decided to have a day off and get outside for some fresh air.
Just hope the wind stops soon.

Saturday 15th January I WAS SO SAD, NO POPPY
My Auntie Jen is up visting Nan, she drove up from Lincoln. When I heard she was coming along I thought great, I can play with Poppy, but I was so disapointed. Jen had come alone and Poppy and Sam had been left at home with Uncle Dick.
Anyway it was nice to see her, and she gave me some dog biscuits she had in her pocket.
Uncle Nick and Morgan also called in. Morgan is getting bigger now, he is also getting smart. He manages to stop me pinching his snacks. He has learnt to say NO to me and squeezes his hands tight to stop me getting the biscuits.
Oh well I will just have to think of another way to get him to part with his treats. He is good fun to play with though, he chases me round the table.
