A weekend in the country....

Hello my friends....as you may have seen from my last blog, the Border Terrier Posse had a tweet-up last weekend....well, we had another one this weekend....I was in dire straits ahead of the event because the Typist told me he could not attend and I do need him to carry my bags at these events...but all was not lost because my great pal @tedterrier said he would escort me....


....typist took me to Waterloo station in London to meet Mr Ted's staff and I got to send the day at Ted HQ.....they have some very nice folk there.....

....and when all the boring meetings were going on I got to take a nap.......

.....and I was given some facilities to make sure I was looking my best........

...in the evening I accompanied Mr Ted's staff to a very important meeting with the Mayor of London......I had to keep a low profile so that I could get through security...that's his office behind me..it's near London Bridge.....

....after the meeting I took the train back to Mr Ted's house....more undercover work....

...ahem....I did not drink it all on my own.....Mr Ted's staff helped....

...on Sunday we went all the way to Warwick (that's in the middle of England for my overseas friends)....to meet other bits of the BT Posse....

.....Mr Seb and I enjoyed the sun and the smells of the summer.....(* Mr Seb is NOT asleep)

Miss Ellie and I got acquainted.....

.....Miss Molly from @jackmolly3 came all the way from Bristol.....more getting-to-know-you sniffs....

...ahem....excuse me Mr Malcolm...do you mind!? ....BOL....traditional terrier greeting....@littlemalc

..Captain Barney from Northants helped me assess proceedings....@northantsbarney.....

...and I compared notes with @thomasaterrier and @borderonwheels....

..Mr Benson took the weight off his back wheels for a moment.....have you seen Mr Benson's amazing story? If not I do recommend a watch....




..yay! Its Mr Jack....@jackmolly3....he goes to all the tweet-ups with Miss Molly...

..Tally Ho Mr Jack!!....

....Miss Molly.....

....and a first meeting with Mr Rufus...@rufus_the_red....
...so many pals and so little time......

....can you see me?.....
...thanks to all my pals and  VERY SPECIAL THANKS to Mr Ted and his staff for getting me to Warwick and back safe and sound.....

Movie night

I met up with a loaaaaad of my friends at the weekend…..Mr Rohan took some very nice footage of us all….the meeting (or a tweet-up as we on Twitter call it) took place at Headley Heath….this is VERY near to where I live and also was old Marley's favourite place in all the world….we realised that although many of our pals on Twitter have seen this movie that our overseas pals (I am thinking of you Frankie Furter and you Mr Bodie…and you too Mr Zack) may not have seen it….



…Mr Rohan sensibly decided not to put too much footage of me or the typist in this one…..Mr Rohan does exceptionally good movies….so we thought we would share some more with you…..

…here is one from Yorkshire last summer….and you will see that I AM in this one….



…and here is one from Headley last year too…typist and I are both in this one…as is Miss Lola!!….



…Miss Lola did not come this year as she is still going through her extra training regime so she doesn't do any more fighting with other doggies and we did not want to risk a big group for her at the moment….

Mr Rohan does lots of great videos and you can see them all on his YOUTUBE channel right HERE ….

..oh oh…and here's another one from my good pal and all round hero Mr Benson…(he has wheels!!)…



Hurray….Clapton, Border Terrier HQ…

Behind the Iron Curtain...


Hello my friends...another week, another trip.....this week I had to accompany the typist to Austria (briefly) and Slovakia....i made sure that I had watched all of the James Bond films and been to see Q before packing my suitcase....

.....international dog of mystery....

.....a spy cannot operate on an empty stomach...so we made sure to eat well before flight....Thai glass noodles with beef....yum....

...oh....and a spy cannot operate without being properly awake.....a nice espresso and a copy of Pro Cycling....(*a disguise)....

.....in Vienna, i was met by my local contact....its Felix Bear-Leiter from the local BIA...(Bear Intelligence Agency)

....blending in with the locals.....

....I made sure I was staying in the hotel by the big radar tower at the airport....i hope the wifi will be working....

....at the hotel, I tried not to drawer attention to myself....eh?...geddit?....

....every spy needs his rest...I thought about catching 40 winks

...but not before checking all of the emergency exits...just in case.....

....I prepared  to don a disguise in the bathroom.....

....do you recognise me?....thought not....

.....I waited patiently in the restaurant for my "bag man"...a Mr Wiener Schnitzel.....

...er....well...when in Vienna and all that....strudel, JA!.....

....and the following morning we headed off on our mission....sneaking by Bratislava in the sun.....

....the Slovaks had lots of funny equipment...I took photos in case they were important......

....this was my VERY SECRET DESTINATION...somewhere in the Slovak countryside....a series of important meetings with *nod, wink* our local field operatives.....

...after a hard day's work an agent likes to relax....where's the bubble bath?....

...I always stay at the Mikado...they do my milk shaken, not stirred...


....and they have "Agent-sized" portions.....

.....and plenty of vital high-tech gadgets I like to call "towels"....

....my escape back to the West had to be undertaken in riskily sunny conditions....I prefer to operate at night normally....
....but I think I blended in OK....
....some shopping for Miss Money-Penny on the way home....
....and finally sneaking back into the UK at a private air-strip....
....I am keeping our nation safe so others don't have to....
