Jeepers Peepers

Ello for you my pals. First, I do say fanks for all dem nice messages wot peeple has been sendin me since Friday when I did go ospital for my cataracts operayshun. I haz been overwhelmed wiv everyfing peeple woz sayin and I ope I haz managed to keep up wiv you all. I do apologise if you din't hear from me.

Anyway, I was taked to vets on Friday afternoon cos they do like you to sepnd the night there before the operayshun.......




...is called Stone Lion Vets and is in Wimbledon. I fink you see where it get its name from....but, uh oh, before I go mum say me she is worried I might get all my fur in the way of my eyes so she strip me...



....but she is only doin my ead and not da rest of me so I am not appy....grrrr....anyway, peeple was worried in case I do spend the night in a cage wiv no foods and no loves but the nurses say me I am too luvvly for that and they keps me wiv them watchin telly on Friday night....and I fink you see wot sorts of peeple they is and wot sort of meddysin they is dispensin there...


...so I am recommendin em quite highly.....and operation is on Saturday and is great success and now I haz two new laser sights fitted and them squirrels is gonna be gettin some of they own meddysin when I get ome...



....mum and dad pick me up Saturday evenin and I do be very wobbly and duz not rilly know who I am or where I be....and I haz to be wearin some fancy boots to stop me scratchin my new eyes...


...but they dussnt last very long cos I be chewin em off....dad say this is cos they is dark blue (Chelsea) and not sky blue (Manchester City)...but I get ome to find lots of very nice cards and fings....includin this one from my pal Enry....





...wot do make me feel better....altho I dussnt fink I am quite wiv it yet cos dad say me Man City is top of Premier League so I am assumin the vet has overdone the annasfettic...I do spend the day snoozin tryin to shake of the effects...


...and hazzin to wear cone of shame cos I did bite off my boots....and I do not fink is my best look...


..altho I fink you see I did eventually get outside for a walks in the garden in my comy new harness...I iz not allowed to do any exercise or barkin or playin or fings like dat cos pressure on my eyeoles can undo good work of the nice vet wot did fix me up...I am not sure I am too appy about dat....


....but at least I am gettin to sleep upstairs wiv mum and dad in the big bed so they can keeps eye on me an Lola dussnt be gibbin me trubble or tryin to lick my face or anyfing...and also I am gettin plenty of nice Lily's Diner noms cos is very helpful to ave me take tablets (pain killers and auntybiotics) and also as bribin for avin eyedrops wot I do ave to ave 16 times a day....pfffft.

Today I do be feelin much better and haz gots my mojo back. I soon be back on dooty  and squirrels has already decide to go ibernatin cos they know is trubble ahead for them.

After a bit when the humans had been drinkin tea we decided we would go off and see wot peemail we could find in the woods...

It was such a bizee day that poor old Lola was killed by excitements.....


To make sure that it was not all loafin by the fire and eatin fings (altho wot do be wrong with dat I do not know) we did go to Wimbledon Common for walkin and sledgin.....

The next day we went to see our pal Folly in Beaconsfield and we did chase about in the garden and ave some bones (Folly's bones of corse). After about 20 minnits, Folly was askin to go back inside to escape for her terrier cuzzins....



There was no rest for the wikkid tho, and all my modellin skills was bein put ot the test demonstratin our beds wot we did give to Folly for Chrissmuss..



After that we did rush up the motorway for seein Grandma in Chestefield for Noo Year. But oh oh oh, Grandma has got a new pawson livin in her ouse wot do be Dayzee the C.A.T......

Grandma did ave a nice present for us......



....and I did ave a Chrismuss conference wiv Rudolph to review the season....



...and I did try and recuperate from all da excitement....and after that we did try and go and find our pal Ernie the border terrier.....but we did only find a few signs of him....


I tried to see if there was more presents.....



but eventually I did ave to gib up and go ome and get my comfy on....



We tried another walkies the next day and, yes yes, we did meet another of our sisfurs from Cidermill Farm wot be called Tilly. Owver, she was so farst and bouncy and did so much play boxin wiv Lola that dad did ave trubble gettin her on fillium...
