My Mummy has left the computer on so doing this now ingrid here again. well i am glad to see you all liked my last email. i have had a good week this week as my mummy elaine and i have been going out to all sorts of different places as the weather was gorgeous. i have been for a ride in an ambulance as my mummy has bad feet, not bad smelly one's either! we have to go to the hospital so my mummy can have some special treatment. i love going to this hospital as i always get made a fuss of and i love playing ball with the staff there. i also get given a nice big bowl of fresh water and a biscuit for being good. then we went to the local shops and yesterday we went for a nice long ride out on the bus to wigan to do some more shopping. i love going round all the shops as i love smelling all the lovely food. yum yum. just thinking about food makes my mouth water.... hahahaha. well when we got home, mummy has been busy doing some work in the garden and i helped her by doing the digging. who needs a spade when all we furry things have our paws? anyway when mummy put the new plants in the holes, i then helped to fill them in again by digging more holes and at one time i got a bit carried away and kicked the soil into my mummy's face. she wasn't very pleased. i love digging. it brings back lots of lovely happy memories from my younger days when i used to play on the beach with my good friends quaver, lucy, and saxon and all our other doggy friends. when we finished the digging, mummy let me lie down in the shade or sometimes i would lie down in the lovely hot sun to catch up on my sun tan. hahaha. i am trying to make my nose black again. it is pink at the moment and i hate it! it reminds me of a pig's nose! oink! oink! have you seen that advert on the telly for andrex toilet paper the one with all the puppies on? i used to look like that when i was a baby but as i have grown up my nose has turned into a horrible pink and i am a golden colour. i would prefer to be a nice chocolate brown or black colour that's why whenever i get the chance, i like to go for a really good roll in the mud. have you ever tried it. my it feels really good. "mud, mud, glorious mud. nothing's quite like it for cooling the blood!" it's very true. this is another reason why i like rolling in all that mud. i just wish my mummy would stop telling me off. i am a dog after-all and this is what we dogs do. i say a dogs gotta do, what a dogs gotta do... hey i would love to go for a dip in the local pool. how about you guys and gals? anyone want to join in? aw, if only... hey my mummy has just been watching something called marley and me. she was in stitches laughing. i bet she wouldn't laugh like that if i did some of the things that that crazy animal got up to. gee it's hot tonight isn't it? good job we don't have to go through the 'on heat' season anymore. no i like things just the way they are. can you imagine this, i am working in my harness and a group of frisky mutts came sniffing around and trying to get a taste of the good stuff? euw. that nearly happened one day to me when i was having a nice walk on the big field enjoying my freedom, when suddenly this huge great dane appeared out of nowhere and tried and tried to get his own way with me. luckily my mum knew what to do. i was terrified. the size of that thing and i'm only a little lady. just think how much damage that would have done had he succeeded. he should see a shrink! he needs castrating more like! the dirty rotten scoundrel. how disgusting. i'm a lady with manners. i don't take too kindly to this sort of thing. the dirty dog... oooh it sends an awful shiver down my spine whenever i think about it. brrrrh... horrible... anyway that's enough about him. i am not going to let him put me off my food! yuk! hey dudes, can any of you lot sing? la la la la la... owwwwwwwww! owwwwwwwww! hahaha. i love singing. mum thinks i'm hilarious. every time we are getting ready to go out in my harness, i always like to sing "why are we waiting?" as mummy takes ages getting herself ready and turning the alarm on etc... i tell you what... i did not expect it, but yesterday when we were on the bus coming back from wigan, mummy left it to the last minute before getting up off the bus and before i knew it, we were leaving the bus. normally when we get off at this certain stop, mummy always tells me not to start singing as i show her up. i never take any notice and start singing anyway, and the more she tells me to be quiet, the more i'll do it. i love the sweet smell of 'FREEDOM' and i love singing... between you and me i think she's jealous cos i have a nice "singing voice" and she doesn't. hahahaha. don't tell her i said that... she'll kill me! she'll not let me off for a free run down there again if she finds out!... i love going to say hello to all the horses. there's one there who my mum calls mr ed after the talking horse she saw years ago on the telly. gosh... that's well before my time! he must be ancient! hahahaha. well that's all for now my friends. hope you enjoy hearing about my life stories. there are plenty more where this came from... take care. ingrid.
