Hello everybody *waves paws*....did you forget about me? I suppose that is probably my fault for being so bad at keeping up with the blog these last few busy weeks. The week before Christmas was a total write-off when all the whole family came down with colds and flu....
....all dressed up and nowhere to go...
....so I had to put aside the festivities and tend to their every need....
...are you sure this is good for flu?...
...even Lola's....
..treats for Lola at Christmas...
....and make sure that naughty people were not spoiling their medication with naughty Christmas chocolates...
...shut...and staying shut...
...but of course they eventually recovered and thankfully before Christmas Day....Lola got a nice Lamb Shank bone to keep her busy....but she got very worried someone was going to steal it from her....
...and was not happy until she had been allowed out into the garden to eat it in peace....
...nom nom nom....
...even if it was raining cats and (other) dogs out there....
...mum got a nice reminder about a certain someone in her stocking....
...now permanently in a comfy spot....
...after a very nice day of presents and food we decided to get out of the house for a walk on Boxing Day.....
...i feel certain someone is watching me!...
...and we got right to the top of Leith Hill...the highest point in Surrey....
...Lord of all I survey....
...and King of the Castle....
...and even the cows came out to say Happy Christmas...with a special mooooo for @sidthecatahoula in Chicago....
Moooooello Sid....
...in fact we have done several walks over the holidays...we delved into our book of local walks and found a nice one in Pirbright....but the rain came and we had to keep the camera in its waterproof container....
...Lola: unimpressed by mud....
...but our walk in Leigh looked more promising on New years Day.....
....sunny outlook? Pawfect.....
...but...oh dear....
...another mud bath for Miss Lola....
....there's only one thing a knitted dog can do when the weather thwarts his plans....TO THE SALES!.....
....do you have it in a "small"?....
....it was an exhausting trip.....
Dogs who lunch....
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and Lola and I wish you a happy new year.....
Hello Clapton...Looks like you had a busy holiday and lots of responsibility for a little guy...Mum's pillow is lovely...Bet Lola had a lot of baths after all those muddy walks...Happy New Year to you and your family
Hi Clapton! Wow! What a busy holiday! I'm glad to hear you took care of everyfur whilst all were sick.
Lola and her bone made me laugh cos I do same thing...walk around, whining, until I can find either a place to hide it (for safe keeping) or a quiet place to eat it. BOL

Thanks for your report of your Christmas holidays. I am sure it was sad as you are missing that special someone this Christmas. What a lovely tribute in that fantastic cushion. Glad to see you have been out and about in the lovely english countryside. Take care all.
Thanks for the update on your Christmas holidays. I love hearing all about it. What a lovely tribute to Marley in that Cushion. I am sure it was a little difficult getting through Christmas without him but Zack and we all were thinking about you through the holidays. Love hearing about your walkabouts in the english countryside and your everyday goings on. Take care.
Nice to meet you new pal. So happy you are back into walking again. I know Lola must love it every bit as much as Marley did. Love the pillow - what a great remembrance.
Happy New Year to you and your family. You are doing a grand job with the blog, love the cushion. Catch you soon on Twitter - lots of licks & Woofs from @cornishbarney & family xx
Clapton you having so much fun with Lola ... Love the pics and thank you for sharing with us *smoochies* for you both and your staff from down under xxx'x with love
I had to laugh when I saw Lola with her bone. I do the same thing until I find a blanket to burry it in. When my person played the video, I ran around the house looking for the cute border with the tasty treat (something I've never done before in response to video/tv). Now I am sulking and watching the door (hoping the dog will return). My friend Ike will be here in an hour so I will cheer up.
We are Marley and Lola and Clapton: Marley went OTRB in December 2012 but was the founder of the Border Terrier Posse on Twitter. Lola and Clapton are two Border Terriers who live in Ashtead in Surrey . Lola is a real doggie who comes from Cidermill Farm in Newdigate, Surrey. Clapton is a mo-hair border terrier who came from the internet.

Looks like you were kept very busy Clapton. We love the Marley cushion and his permanent pole position on the couch.
