Christmas is so much fun!

This is my first Christmas. I didn't know what to expect...

...but this has been fun, fun, fun, all the way.

People who know me, but I've yet got to meet, have sent me presents!

These last couple of days have been fantastic. When's the next Christmas due?

I'm 5 (months)

Today is a very important day for me - I'm 5, months that is.

 And what a 5 months it has been!

I had no idea life would be like this. I just hope everything goes well from now and I don't cause mum and dad such anxiety over my health! 

Dad took these photos as I was posing at one of my favourite spots around the house. It is sheltered from the wind and is a perfect suntrap - ideal for resting at this time of the year. I hope to spend a lot of time there.

Another day, another walk

Every day I go out for a walk with mum and dad. Now we are at Torre del Compte I've been on a different walk each day.

I've been up the camino. This is the longest walk I've ever been on, nearly 2½ km, there and back. Dad told me that we will go on this walk hundreds of times in the next few years and I'm not even 5 months old yet.

Also I've been around the village - there are so many interesting things to see and smells to be savoured. It's a great life!

2 Christmas presents arrive for me

Everyone is talking about Christmas which is just over 2 weeks away and evidently one of the main features is receiving presents.

2 of my presents arrived yesterday. Mum and dad have bought me 2 coats which I love as they keep me nice and warm as it can be a bit chilly especially in the mornings.

I prefer the orange one which fits well and is very comfortable. The suede/sheepskin one has a bit much going on but I shall get used to it.

The only problem is that they fit well at the moment but I am growing very quickly. At least I shall get plenty of wear out of them in the next couple of months.

A bit under the weather

I've been a bit off colour these last few days and my mum and dad have been very worried about me but I'm alright now.

I started feeling poorly last Sunday and I went off my food. Monday I didn't eat either and I felt listless. On Tuesday morning mum and dad took me to the vets where I have been for the last 2 nights until mum and dad brought me home this morning. I feel better now but the last 2 days being stuck in a small cage weren't very pleasant - just as well I wasn't feeling too good!

At first mum thought I had poisoned myself as I have to taste all the plants in the garden. She looked up every plant on the internet and found that around half of the plants in the garden were poisonous. However, the vet took a sample of my blood, tested it and reported back that I had not been poisoned on this occasion. My dad thought that I had swallowed a piece from the garden irrigation system which I have destroyed over the last few weeks. He doesn't seem to mind though as at this time of year he has disconnected it. Various nozzles are scattered around and he thought that one of these may be on it's way down to my stomach and causing a blockage. Nothing was to be seen on the x-rays to verify this although I believe that plastic is difficult to identify.

According to the vet, I was suffering the effect of the 3rd vaccination which I had been given on Monday 27th of November. This had given me a bout of gastroenteritis. I hope she was right as I don't fancy going through all that again. Now my aim is to put weight on rather than lose it. Let's see how it goes.
