That indispensable word…
Well, it’s been a while but here I am again. I love the fact that The Boss has not updated you on my amazing progress. The last time she wrote about me, she was complaining that I am so stubborn… Well, just to show her, I have changed my ways. It started a short time after that last post, so say , November 2025 time. I shall transport you to that miraculous moment when the Boss finally understood me, and I her perhaps. We were heading down a well known track, when I stopped. There was something in the air you see. I didn’t know quite what but it unsettled…

Maggie and the Big Friendly Bear. (Friendly? I didn’t say that)
Part one. At long last, I have been granted permission to tell my tale. I should say that my paws do not allow me to type very quickly nor accurately, for that matter. Hence, the need to wait for the Boss’s assistance as I relate my story. Apparently, she is well practised at this job. She resigns herself to reliving my escapades from time to time, however traumatic she finds it. It seems she has had more important things to write about of late, but what could be more important than my latest escapade? Humour me! It all started a short time ago, just before my first birthday I believe.…

Maggie’s first Big Adventure
Hi, Maggie here on the keyboard for the very first time! I just had to tell you about my first big adventure. It began on the morning not long long after I had arrived. I thought I was safe from ever going outside that front door, unless carried. We had been to the place where they prod and poke you and then try to distract you while they prick you with something sharp. ‘She can go out in a week’, the Vet said. The Boss carried me back to the car and I was ushered back into the house. That, I thought, was that. Here I would stay with Charlie.…

A Rumbling in the Jungle…
Good afternoon, Charlie Brown here, after rather a long hiatus… Listen – there is a rumbling in the jungle! I have overheard the Boss talking in excited tones about – a puppy?! If what I have heard is true, my position as Top Dog could soon be challenged. I can’t say I’d mind too much. You see, since my foster Mum, Flossie, left us, I have had to fend for myself. (Violins optional) I kid you not, remembering to ask to go out to ‘perform’ has been a trial for me. Since I was a tiny pup, I have not had to ask for anything. Flossie saw to that. She’d…

Biscuits and kind words …
The waiting room at the Veterinary surgery, is empty. Flossie and I cross the threshold together. Except we don’t. Flossie takes a backward step and I have to give her a gentle tug to coax her into the room. She twists round on her lead and makes the whole procedure somewhat difficult but, we are in, eventually. Why are we here? Simple really. If you have read A twist in the Tail, you will know that Flossie recently had a traumatic experience involving a hedge in which she got firmly entangled. Having emerged, apparently unscathed, it transpired that, unbeknown to us, she had sustained a scratch below her ear. Charlie,…
