well well, hello peeps! It's about a month since I last entered, sorry about that (in case anyone actually reads this stuff) been on holiday and been desperately trying to catch up with everything since we got back. Still, it's given Murphy time to make up for lost, and get into his stride again..
first of all, he's still hoarse from his incarceration in "doggie prison" as Richard insists on calling it. (I prefer the term "holiday home") so barking is limited (whew, break us in gently)
however it was Nick's birthday this week and we had the mother's birthday cookie cake as she's away on holiday - it got brought out and adorned with candles before we went out for dinner, to have when we got back. Have you guessed yet? - yes, when we got back - horrors! Murphy had eaten THREE QUARTERS of it!!!! It was over 12 inches in diameter so he had quite a field day.. amazingly he was only sick once . I found a candle in the garden this morning.
As if that wasn't enough (and to prove that dogs learn but we don't), we had a box of chocolates and discovered an unsuspected second layer - so we left it on the coffee table. Some were eaten (legally) but when we got in last night guess what? the same thing had happened!!! he'd managed to sook all of them out the box without touching the sides or upsetting the box. Well done him... (2-0 to the canine, sigh) And yes, he was sick again..
We were away sailing in Greece and check out the photo - a dog we saw at one of the ports from another yacht - an idea for the future? He'd need it I think, can't see him NOT going in the water!
