Labrador Rescue

Hi everyone, I have been promising to update you on what has been happening in my life since I came to my forever home in June - so here goes - sit back and enjoy! - he he - this feels like Jackanory!!

Well I came to my forever home in June, and I had my birthday that very week - it was good - my sister Millie bought me a dog called Oscar - we took it on holiday with us in our caravan - Millie and I played wiv it and now it only has three legs - mum said we played a bit rough - but we loved it - here we are sat in front of our van - that's Oscar in my mouth - he is all soggy but I don't mind - Millie does though - she says it makes my breath smell!!



Well I have to say folks I love this caravan lark - we have been away quite a lot and I get to do my fave thing - guess what?........swimming in the sea, it's really brill - both me and Mill love playing wiv the ball - I beat her though cos I am fast but she says she lets me win cos she likes me - now that I am big and strong I look really cool jumping in the sea



This is Mill



Talking of big and strong when I came to my forever home I was really thin, Mill thought I was a stick - HE HE - anyway I have now put on 8.5 kilos and I am very handsome - what do you think - this is me wiv my dad when we went to Devon



I loved Devon - the sea was brill but we also did other things - you know what we did - we went on this cliff railway thingy - I was very frightened - I still am quite timid wiv some things - and I don't like slippy floor - the lift had wooden floor and I thought I might slip so I trembled but Dad looked after me and cuddled me all the way up - what a relief when we got off - after a bit though I thought I might like to go on again - I am getting a brave boy now - here we are waiting for the lift



After that experience Mum said she fancied a coffee so we went to find a coffee shop - the man at the shop loved me and Mill and brought us a biscuit - I had two cos I am putting weight on - Mill had one cos she has to watch her weight - sushh - she thinks she had two cos Mum broke one in half - don't tell her though!! Here we are at the coffee shop



Hey I almost forgot - one weekend Dad told me we were going fishing - then he told me a story called "The One that Got Away" - mum laughed hysterically - and I had a little chuckle to myself - although I wasn't quite sure at what I was laughing at - anyhows Mum packed the van and we went fishing - Mill knew what to do and sat next to Dad - I looked at the water and thought BRILLIANT - Dad just caught me before I went in and scared all the fish - I thought they might have liked me to say hello but Dad said NO!! Here we are being good sat next to Dad



I like fishing!!

Well it came to October and Dad said last trip in the van before Winter - so we went to North Yorkshire and we had a great time - Mill and me went in the sea - yippeeeee - here we are getting dried on the sea front - don't laugh - !!



We came back from this trip and the van was packed away - I got sad cos I liked our trips but I needn't have worried - Mum had planned a special pessie for Dad's birthday and at the beginning of December we went to North Yorkshire in a log cabin - wow it was fabarooney - I was scared to go up to the front door as it was a wooden ramp - you know what I am like wiv wood - well I got brave and tried it - when I got inside I loved it - it had a big wide window - like a wall - and a balcony - Mill went straight out and looked through at the rabbits -



I decided I could do it too if I took Oscar wiv me



It was good!!

We went for some great walks - here we are wiv Dad by the River Swale



and here we are posing



When we came back we prepared for Christmas - I wasn't sure what they were all talking about - I never had much fuss before and wasn't sure what they were getting excited about - but then Mum put up the tree and said she couldn't put pressie's under it cos Mill would open them - Mill loves walking about with them in her mouth - she is famous for it you know - she was even on the Labrador Rescue Christmas Cards this year - anyhow we snoozed whilst Mum put the tree up



I quite like this sofa thingy!

Then we went for walks in the woods





Then Mill opened some pressies - I had to let her do mine for me too - next year I think I might try it myself





Well everyone I hope you have enjoyed reading my update - I promise not to leave it so long next time - but as you can see I have been pretty busy in the last few months - what wiv one thing and another - I hope you all had a Happy Christmas and me and Mill wish you a very Happy New Year


Lots of love Barney and my sister Millie XXXX
