It's been a LONG Time - and a Birthday has come and gone

Well, FINALLY, it seems, there may be a return to Dog Blogville for me - I have really missed everyone, but She tells me that She will try much harder going forward and also, She is taking some time off work early next year, a real, proper break - not a few weeks, a real proper break - we are all very excited about it as we figure the real She may return!! You know, the one that isn't stressed and tired and walking around with big black bags under Her eyes! Anyway, SOOO much has happened over the last few months - we had relatives visiting from Ireland and I was much spoilt (of course) and loved (of course)by them and we took them 'down south' for a few days break, to my favourite Australian beach where my 'arf-an-eye-tis' showed no signs of angst and I ran like a little puppy, everywhere:

I sure miss the relatives, they made some fuss of me I can tell you! Then, the Two Legged Ones went off on their Big Holiday - to some place called Tasmania - I went to the older two legged ones for two weeks of 'holiday camp'. The Two Legged Ones would have taken me to Tasmania, but well, They did a lot of walking in the national park and four legged ones aren't allowed in there (well, not ones like me anyway). But, we are all back home together now which is just the best - and it was my birthday last week - yeeehaaaaaa!!!!!!! I got a great present - kangaroo sticks. Yum!! I displayed pawsome present opening skills -

But, the bad news is that I've been unwell, again - I'm off to the dog-ter again this evening, fourth time in 5 weeks. Keep your paws crossed that I will be better soon - it's becoming a wee bit tiresome, I can tell you! And the other bad news - He got a new camera - oh yes, another one for me to contend with. It was bad enough that He got that new long lens, you know, the one where He can be MILES away and take a photograph of me without me knowing ...... well, this a tiny little camera that He uses for close ups - and it doesn't look the same or make the same 'click' as the other monstrous one so He caught me unawares the first few times - I'll have to up my super Westie powers and come up with a plan to foil his next attempt!

Woof for now. Groucho
