Great Fridge Raid

If you had been at my ouse yesterday mornin you might have found this by the kitchen door....



Yes, there haz been an incident in the kitchen on Saturday afternoon. The hoomans went out and whens they got back this is what they did find in the kitchen...



Oh dear. Who (or what) could have done dat? Been in our fridge and eated all the foods? Who could have fort that some ham, prosciutto, cheez and carrots would have made a nice afternoon snack? I fink mebbe it was this doggy...



...or mebbe even this one as he obvioulsy has "form" as my frends in the polices do say...



Well, the hoomans did react sumwot quickly to some very circumstanshull evidence and blames me and Lola and there was a lot of shoutin and we was chased out into the garden by dad's boots. However, Ii do say that it cud not ave been me cos I am an angel...



...altho i dussn't speak for Lola (nor provide her wiv character reference neever).

Dad was a bit worried cos we ....er....the thiefs had also eaten a tub of flapjacks which did ave raisins in wot is poisonous for dogs. However, he did calm down when our friends on twitter did say we ...er....they had not eaten enuff to be dangerous.

I did try and suggest that it might have been a team of crimmynels who had broken in to do the deed...



....but dad did say he did not beleev me and he did put us in jail for the rest of the day...



We did suffer no ill effects, but Lola did show some suspishuss symptoms later in the evenin...



The followin mornin, we did fink that we shud try and get back in dad's good books so at 4.30 am we did get up and bark so that he was not late for werk. By the look on his face he was not best pleased wiv his alarm call. He was even less appy when he did find this (or sumfink like it) in the corner of the kitchen...



We had to spend anuvver day in his bad books. However, I say to you (a jury of my peers) that it was Lola who did the crime. I did sleep the sleep of the innocent all day...



Obvioulsy, I is not giltee. Free the Kitchen One!

Remmynissin

Hello for you. It is I, Marley. How be fings for you? I didn't be ere for a bit wot wiv one fing or anuvver but now ere I am like bad penny turnin up when you is lookin for keys down back of the sofa. Rilly, I am like a bit of lint in yore pokkit....

Today I ave been remmynissin bout wot it was like when I was little. It do be over free years since I cam ome to live wiv mom an dad and Willium and it is important to remember where you do come from and wot colour is your roots hetsetterra.

I did be livin on a farm (a nice one, not puppy farm) when my familee did come and find me. They first see'd me like this in a bed wiv my little brothers and sisters....

...I fink dat is me upsides down avin my first wuzz from dad.

I fink they did pick me cos I was the runt of the litter, but I do ask you if you could have resisted a face like this?....



After I ad vetted Willium for smells and fings, he took me ome and we ad our pikture taken in the kitchen....



Mostly, I did juss do snoozin to keep up my strengff..


I rilly got to like my new levver bean bag....



As I got bigger, me an Willium form unbreakable frendship...




Very quicklee, wiv elp from Willium, I did develop my "you give I noms" face...



When I was allowed out with the big dogs, we did go to Headley Show and I enetered into dog competishun and did win 7th place rosette. I fink dis face worth more than 7th place no?...




By Chrissmuss, I was the star of the familee and I was allowed to appear on the familee card for sendin out to peeple we knowed...



That wos me for my first year at ome. I fink I did rilly like it there and I decided to stay. Imaginn my suprise when Lola did show up out of the blue. I woz not consulted bout dis no matter what anyone tell you. Dad say I did take to bein a big bruvver quite well. You be the judge...



I tell you that I do rilly like livin here and I enjoy seein a bit bout my istory which we did find on the computa.

Woof

Ello for you. It do be I, Marley, offishul candidate for Parleyment.

As you haz prolly seen if you do live in England or Scotland or Wales or ovver bits near there, Mr Brown (who is Prime Minister) has called an elekshun...



....rilly, I dint kno this did mean actually callin the elekshun on the phone to talk but apparently that is wot he has done (wiv elp from his wife).

I haz decided to makes myself a candidate for parleyment so as to propply represent the views of animals. Today do see the lornch of my offishul mannyfesto. It do be ere now and deals with the issues of the day wot do be on your minds.

1. Econnymee - yuo haz seen that the peeple at the bank of Hingland has been helpin the ecnomymee by a policy of "quantitative easing". I dussn't really know what that is but I has taken my best guess and I say we shall continue wiv dat policy.....and we shall be authorisin the printin of bones for everyone...



2. Immigrayshun - it seem that all the welffy people in this country do not wants to share their good fortune and appiness wiv peeepl less fortunate than theyselves from other parts of the world, even if they do be poor and mizerable. We ashamed of dis, but we is drawin a line at squirrels. We is withdrawin their visas and permishuns to stay ere immediately....



...Squirrels: you got your places and we got ours.

3. Transport - we is demandin that we be allowed in your planes, tranes and automobiles. Is not fair we have to be lefts behind when you go on oliday or out for the day or that we haz to travel in fird rate style. From now on, we travellin up front wiv you...



4. Crimes - wot? It duss not be me that brokes into the fridge and stoled the ham. We is tuff on crimes and tuff on the causes of crimes....



...and rilly if you gets cort then my pal Lexie is gonna give you dis look ...and no one wants that duz they?...



5. The Familee - we finks dat familee is rilly important. You kno that they say a familee is for lifes and not juss for Chrissmuss...



6. Tax - din't we alreaddy cover dat? No? Oh well, ....*shuffles feet*.....*blushes*...I haz to tell you that taxes is goin up....but juss for hoomans....



7. Housing - we promises that we puts an end to tempry accomodayshun like dis...



....rilly, we got plans for you....



8. Defence - defence? We doin it right....seriously, you no wanna mess wiv us...



....but we is promisin that nuffink else bad appen for the Afghans. I fink they too bootiful for any more problems...



9. Environment - Lola do be constantly pollutin the environment wiv toots and trumps. Haz gotta stop. We uses policy to name and shame major contributors to greenhouse gases...




So, that rilly do be it. It be your vote. Use it wisely. I fink I do be deservin your votes.

Marley, Prime Dog.....woof

If you dussn't mind a bit of advertisin

Oh dear, someone round here as been norty with the internet and has arranged for sum merchandises to be bort. Then he gets the idea that you mights like em too...you cuds ave this one for yore human (is ladeeze type too)

Old an New

Hello for you. I iope you did ave a nice Eeester and ave not eatin too many eggs. We dint ave no eggs cos choklit is armful for dogs, but we did ave an excitin time wiv our familee.

We decided we would go back to two places where we ad been before but when was not so rilly successful: Leith Hill and Herne Bay. First time we wenteds to Leith Hill (wot do be near us in Surrey), it was so rainy and foggy that we could not see anyfink and juss wandered around in the mist and got wet. Woz a shame cos there do be views from the highest point in ower county.

When we arrived, we did see this sign, which did make Willium grone and complane...



Yes, that do be right, there is tower on top of the ill, but we din't see nuffink from it last time cos of the mist. Anyways, we walkin long this time and looks what we did see....pretty much everywhere I phink....



...you even see Gatwick airport if you looks closely an also farms where we wuz born. It was a rilly bootiful walk thru the woods to the top....



...and look what we did find when we got to the tower. Woz horse.



We sed ello to him, but we din't bark or bovver him and we all got along fine..



Second place we did go woz Herne Bay, which do be in Kent and haz a rilly good beach. We went fossil huntin there last year but we dint find none cos we did only get there at high tide when all the fossils is covered up. This time, we went early after checkin the tide times and we did some good huntin...



I woz really exciteds when Willium found a stick fossil. I fort we could play frow and chase wiv it but it was not very nommy and mite have urt my teef...



...I phink this why doggies was not invented until after dinosores when the sticks did get softer.

Me an Lola did get chance to check our sea-mail...



...and we woz rilly happy in all the sand an mud...



The bestest bit was bein taken to Macari's cafe, where the hoomans did ave fish n chips and Lola did make a new chum...



...er owner did phink she might be half border terrier.

I opes you did ave a nice eester likes us.

Marley n Lola, travellin first class....woof

Wot I Did

Ello for you. It do be me, Marley, again. Or praps as I iz a Marley I should say it is I and I again.

Larst weekend, the hoomans was possessed by a strange idea. They did get a roofs rack for the car for puttin their bikes on in preparayshun for their olidays. It took dad two hours to fit it to the car, but he is unusually useless like dat and was bein careful for not scratchin the paint. When it was done he made everyone get out their bikes. Lola and I did look at them wiv big sad eyes cos we do not see em go on a familee bike ride before and we assume we not bein taken.

Imagine how appy we woz when the leads was taken out of the cupbioard and we was told we was goin as well. Hurray! Happy day! Dad say we goin to Swinley Forest, which do be near Bracknell. We bin there before but nivver wiv bikes.

We ad to drive there in the car and it did takes about 40 minnits. It do look like this mostly....



...but there is lots of paths for walkin an cyclin. A man did say for us that Swinley Forest is an area of Windsor Forest, owned and managed by The Crown Estate, comprising of 2600 acres of mainly Scots Pine woodland. I phink he right bout dat.

We setted off and Lola and I was runnin by the bikes. Ere I am beatin dad by a short head...



....and after we ad gone bout 5 minnits into the trees dad did remember he ave left his wallet and phone on the car seat and ad to go back so they wussn't be stolen. They wassn't.

Some of the parffs was quite hilly and we stopped at the top for rests....at least the humans did. Ere I am tellin Willium to urry up but he puffin an pantin..



We did have a marvelluss time. Ere I am runnin wiv my ears flappin in the wind...



Me an Lola was good and kept followin the bikes....not just because mum was carryin a bag of cheese...



An also we did discover that if you takin pictures on your iBone when you is cyclin along then they can go wonky wivout even tryin. Look at dis one....!



An also this one where werrld have tuned upside down i phink....



We even did a bit of off-roadin...



Evntually we gots back to the beginning after about 90 minnits of runnin. We sure was tired but we ad some noms at the cafe and slept for the rest of the day. However, before I go I just gotta show you dis picture of cows at Headley Heath. When we did our blog bout it two weeks ago we did not see any cows and then on Saturday we did meet loads of em just wanderin about. They tried to come and say ello for me and ave a sniff but I was brave..



Is it friendly dad?
