Buses, Cars and the AA

Mummy and Daddy and Snowy and me went to visit Granny and Grandpa this weekend, although we nearly didn't make it. When Daddy was coming home from work on Friday his car became poorly and stopped on the motorway. He had to call the AA to send a man who was very clever and made it all better. Poor Daddy was very cold when he picked me up but happy that the car was OK. We then got up very early on Saturday to travel south.

It was lovely to see Granny and Grandpa and I also got to see Auntie Tor and Uncle Chris and I got to play with my cousins Natasha and Rebekah which I liked very much. On Saturday night Grandpa took me to see his buses. I was so excited when we got to his work as I'd never seen so many buses in one place before. I went on a little bus, a big bus and a double-decker. I also got to sit in the driver's seat and then I got to ride on a bus as it went through a bus-wash. I also saw went to the bus hospital where poorly buses are made to feel better. Granny and Grandpa also gave me a present for advent. I got a DVD called 'Santa Buddies' and a cuddly doggy like Snowy and the Puppy Paws in the film (I sat and watched the film on my blow-up bed today, it is very good, apart from the naughty man in it. Thank you Granny and Grandpa!) I also saw old Nanna, who we had to visit in hospital. On the way home, not far from Granny and Grandpa's house, our car got poorly again and became to splutter and shake and a warning light came on. Mummy and Daddy had to stop and call the AA man again. The car seemed to sort itself out though and the AA man was very nice, but couldn't find anything wrong. At least we got home safely even though it took us some time.

Lad's Weekend Away

I can't believe it's this weekend and I haven't had chance to blog about last weekend - where does the week go, it was never like this before I turned 1 year old.

Last weekend was a "Lad's Weekend Away", or to be exact, a lad, his Dad and a dog's weekend away. As Mummy was working Daddy, Snowy and me went to visit the family in Derby. We stayed with Gran (G) and Grandpa, I saw Uncle Chris, Auntie Tor, Tasha and Bebe; I saw Great Nanna T and Great Nan Ol', I saw Great, Great Auntie Audrey and Great, Great Auntie Rose as well as some friends. We only travelled down Saturday and came back up Sunday so we were really busy. It was nice to see everyone though. I slept most of the journey there and back, apart from when I was hugely sick on the way home. It's a good job I had my PJ's for Daddy to change me into. I was shattered when I got home but it was lovely to see my Mummy!

Still not quite myself.

I'm still not quite myself. Yesterday morning I had a morning in with my Daddy before he had to go to work, my Mummy had left for work earlier. I'm not sleeping too well as I'm still a little sore from my fall. I've also got a snotty nose and sometimes when I sneeze it explodes all over my face.

Today was nice as Mummy and Daddy were both not at work. We did a little bit of food shopping, then I spent the afternoon in the house playing and then we took Snowy for a walk. I like Snowy and keep giving her hugs. I'm hoping for a better sleep tonight.

Oo, Ah, Ee!

What a busy week! Monday and Tuesday were busy working days so I didn't do a lot with Mummy and Daddy other than catch up with a little television watching. Daddy and I hadn't had chance to watch Soccer AM on Saturday so we spent some time watching that followed by Match of the Day. We were going to watch The Football League Show, but Daddy couldn't bring himself to watch it after Derby lost at the weekend. We finally saw it today through gritted teeth and we were robbed! On Monday night we became a "Foster family". We have given a home to a doggy called Snowy who has had to come and stay with us for a little while. His owner is staying at my Daddy's work and Snowy needed to find some where to live. Snowy is a nice doggy although I was a little nervous of her when I first met her.

I like taking Snowy for walks at night although she is very strong and I have to run when I'm holding her lead. She is a quiet doggy and very well behaved most of the time, although she did do some wees and poos on the floor when she first moved in but she now does them in the garden instead. The only thing I don't like is that when we play ball she won't give me it back after I've thrown it - I get very frustrated when she does this. Snowy has a bed under the table, but often sleeps on the landing. I like pretending to be a doggy now and I crawl around and sit under the table where Snowy should be.

Yesterday Mummy, Daddy and me went shopping. Daddy needed to get a suit as we are going to two weddings soon. Uncle David is getting married to Auntie Cat in a two weeks then a few weeks after that Daddy's Cousin Emma is getting married.

We went for lunch at Pizza Hut and I was a hungry boy and ate lots and lots. We then went home, had a play, then took Daddy to the Dentist and went to Tesco. I played so much when I got home that I was all hot and sweaty so after my dinner Daddy gave me a bath. We soaked the bathroom!

Today Gran came out with Mummy, Daddy and me and we went to a garden centre for lunch. We had a lovely time sniffing the flowers. Then later this afternoon Daddy took me swimming and today I did something new - I blew bubbles with my face in the water. The waterfall and slides are still my favourite though.
