Ello for you and I do ope you got them new ears wot everyone do wish for you about now. We ave been avin a bizee time since we did last blog just before the Chrismuss and so I do juss be gibbin you some highlights of wot ave appended to us.

As you might be expectin, I did prepare well for the oliday period and make sure I did haz some quality naps before it started so as to be redee....

...and I fink you see that I woz travellin first class....Chrismuss Day was a blur, but I did make sure I got a paw in each present wot was open....

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.....

[Editors note: in no way is this a pic of me beggin biskits from Lisa....no sir]....We wents wiv our pal Lottie wot was bein cared over the olidays by our pals in London. She sure was cute....

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......

....but we dint get to meet Dayzee in case I did try and ave her for lunch...

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...

...you see us chasin after her while she pounce on  a little doggie wot come along...We also did try another of our nice walks from....

and did walk about Reigate Heath and did end up at nother great pub courtesy of @doggiepubs....

...where I did wait patiently to get I chips.....

....but only got carrots wiv gravy on em.....boo for noo year diets.

I do say appy noo year for everyone and I ope I do see you soon. Meanwhile, I am takin up a new sport...

I been to see England

Today we haz got two stories for you. We was only expectin to ave one but then sumfink excitin appened on Sunday and we did not want to wait for tellin it to you.

On Friday, I did net get nice surprise cos dad haz decided to ave the day off to sellybrate weddin anniversary. He dint say nuffink bout it but I presume he talkin of weddin to mum cos I dint see no other wives round ere (and I check in both sheds outside too in case he been stashin em there). Anyway, we done some lookin on the computer for fings to do - I say him that he do the typin and I do the finkin.

After a bit of fort (and I spect some pre-plannin for sumone), we haz decided to go to Hascombe to go for a walk which do end up at the White Hart, wot do be a pub wot has been recommended by our pal Millie the Border Terrier at www.doggiepubs.co.uk We is drivin there after scrapin frost off the car and packin up our warm weather gear (gloves, at and scarf for peeple, nuffink for dogs). Although sun was shinin, do not be fooled - it was chilly.

We is runnin right off up the path after a long discusshun about correct angle for parkin the car wot I do not understand. You see how me an Lola was in danger of gettin lost in the brown leaves...

We walked up the hill for a bit to a place where we once did some mushroom pickin. At the top we did meet a nice local lady an her dogs, one of who was Hettie the border terrier. She is gibbin dad the sniff test to check he is ok (she tell me she do be smellin fluff, biskit crums, bettin slips and Old Spice)...

All the time we is walkin we is hearin funny clukkin noises and away off across the fields we is seein men firin guns. I was a bit scared cos I dussnt be wearin any no-huntin-me orange clothes as my pal Shawnee do recommend in huntin season, but I do keep my eyes open and my ears peeled for trubble...

We come across a lake, but it was frozed up and mum was yellin at me when I freaten to walk off across the ice.....I remind her I dussnt see so well wiv my catctus eyes....

Countryside is very bootiful and we is enjoyin the smells and fings of a new walk.....

After a bit, we do come across a path wot is lined wiv hundreds of oles. Lola go rummagin off in the bracken and the next fing we kno she is face to face wiv a rabbit but Mr Rabbit is very sensible and he take off across the field at high speed wiv Lola gibbin chase. 

She dussn't catch Mr Rabbit and she comes back but as she does so she is disturbin a pheasant in the bushes and now we know wot is all the clukkin we haz been hearin. You see Mr Pheasant in the sky cos dad was quick wiv da camera......

We walks for about hour and a half and we was lucky to catch this pawsome photo of where we was. Wot you dussn't see here is hundreds of fezzants wot was everywhere and do be jumpin out of every bush (usually followed by Lola) and makin mum jump....

I did try and catch up but I was always at the back of the pawty makin sure all the smells had been smelled and catalogued.....

Even the horses was enjoyin the sun on their backs but I fink mebbe their lunch was a bit frozen....

To complete our safari, we did see this horsey on his own hidin in the bushes. I fink mebbe he had finded some nice soft grass to eat....

Eventually, we did make our way to the White Horse and did make ourselves at home in the bar (they also haz a big restaurant but wivout doggies in it)....

The pub had two doggies wot did sneak about in the bar gibbin me a wide berth until dad did sneak a doggie treat to this nice lady who did eventually come over for belly rubbin and fuss....

Dad did say me he had best fish n chips for his lunch and he do say the food was very good. I check in wiv him to see if is any left wot he do not be able to finish....

Pub owner do say me I dussnt need to be bovverin dad for scraps and did show me dis....

Walk we done was walk no. 13 from this pawsome book....Footpaths for Fitness: Surrey by David Weller... http://www.countrysidebooks.co.uk/book-catalogue-book-details.php?book=1509  and I fink you see we is recommendin it for you.

*Trumpet fanfare by Willium*

Now we has some very excitin extra news for you. On Sunday, mum was sellin her Marley&Lola At Home doggie stuff at a local fair and a nice lady and gentleman did come over to say ello and they did recognise our names cos they do read our blog! How pawsome is dat? Well, I say for you is not as pawsome as wot come next: they sayin mum that they has adopted Rocky who do be my dad. Rocky has finished bein a *ahem* stud dog and lovely Julia at Cidermill Farm did fink he might be appier wiv a nice family to look after him so they haz adopted him to give him a furever home. Then Kate an Christian (the nice peeple) is runnin ome and comin back wiv....guess who?....

Yes, is my dad Rocky and also he is wiv Islay who is half-sisfur to me an Lola! Hurray for Kate n Christian and ello and woofs for dad and Islay. I fink you is seein where I do get my good looks from. We is also sayin ello for their doggie club wot we do unnerstand is also readin our blog.

A Great Journee

I fink I did manage to give some peeple the impresshun that I do haz a easy life here in Ashtead. This could not be further from the troof. I show you ow ard life is for a bizee dog...

Last night, mum has put out my new cusshun in fron of the fire so I goes to lie on it. This can take several seconds of effort an concentrayshun which do vary dependin on wot part of the house I wos in before I start. Anyway, i do get to the cusshun only to finds that some lazy butt is lyin on it....

Well, I haz wasted that efforts and so I complete the long trudge....manee miles....across the livin room to get up in my comfy chair....

....only to find it already occupied by dad and Lola. I am pretty exhausted by this second leg of journee and so I do be gettin up there anyways and me an Lola is wrigglin about til we haz made dad more comfy for sittin on...

...but Lola will not keeps still and I is losin valuable restin time wiv her snortlin and wrigglin and so I do haz to set off again (wivout opportunity for replenishin energy levels wiv snaks) to the other side of lounge where sumone hav booted out Willium....

....and I say you is not beyond bounds of possibilitee that I had to drag that beanbags over dere myself....so you is seein ow hard I is workin over here.....while Lola do simply carry on snoozin and doin nuffink to elp....

....which is why vet has putted her on strict diet to lose weight.....every cloud ave silver linin....I let you kno later how traumatic evenin has affected me....
