Aren't I handsome?

Haircuts and goodbyes

Well, she left me...again and I have a very smart haircut! I look incredibly handsome even if I do say so myself (and everyone has told me so as well!) so I'm a little put out that she left so soon!

However, I know it won't be for long. I am very happy down here in Sussex. After a wonderful time with Poppa and Babs I am now visiting my other Grandparents for a while. I have to say the weather is much better down here than in Drummore. Crikey! The wind in Drummore was pretty awful, I really didn't like going out in it. Down here I can be on the beach in a matter of minutes and it is nowhere near as windy as Port Logan Beach. I miss the seaweed though. That was fun to eat and run around with in my mouth!

So, Elly has gone. I was expecting it. The suitcases were out again. They always make me a little nervous because it means that either I'm going somewhere or Elly or James is! And I knew it would be Elly because she was a bit stressed out running around and doing stuff. We did manage to have a few good walks and some lovely cuddles though before she left. She left early in the morning on Thursday and Gerry drove her up to Heathrow to catch her flight. I could see she was sad to leave me but also really excited about seeing James again. I know I'll be there soon too.

Elly called to check on me from Abu Dhabi and to say she'd arrived. I mean she had arrived! Lucky so-and-so got upgraded to First Class! What a way to start her new life abroad! Starting as she clearly means to go on...In Style!!!! James collected her from the airport and they have settled in to the apartment above where James works. It sounds quite nice (although I wouldn't like it as there's nowhere to run around!) there's a supermarket and coffee shop, a gym and offices.
Today they looked at areas to live and they think they've found somewhere (more on that another time). She did harp on a bit about some fancy hotel they had coffee in this morning, at something called Yas Island Grand Prix Circuit. I have no idea what that is but I'm sure I'd find it very boring! She seemed to be pretty impressed with it all.

Elly said she is enjoying it so far and she is so happy to be with James after all this time. I miss him too - when do I get to come?

My first birthday

Well, now I am a fully grown 1-year old I felt that I had enough suitable vocabulary and wealth of experience to share with you as I embark on the adventure of a lifetime! Am I entering Crufts I hear you cry? Am I in training to be the next 'One woman and her dog' act on Britain's got talent? No, it is far more exciting than that - I am about to move to the Middle East to live.
I am not sure how long this adventure will last, I am not sure what my house will be like, I am not even sure how long I will be there, but I do know that I will be living with James and Elly so it shouldn't be too bad!
I am not entirely sure where Abu Dhabi is and it sounds a bit peculiar to be honest. I've heard that it is pretty hot, so I am a little concerned that I won't like it. They'll really need to cut my hair before I go as I am a little bit shaggy at the moment. Really, you'd have thought that they'd have got my hair cut for my birthday!
So, we've left Edinburgh. I was sad to leave, I did really like living in Cowan Road, especially the new house. I miss my friends at Harrison Park because we used to run around together loads. However, I have had a lovely time in Drummore. I enjoy the garden; helping with the digging and running on the beach. I have loved spending time with Granny and Poppa; I get a lot of love from both of them and seem to make them smile quite a lot.
So, the furniture is sitting in a container in Kent apparently and won't arrive until December 21st, this is a major bummer for me because the sooner the furniture arrives and James and Elly get settled into a house, the sooner my journey can begin.
Where will I be in the meantime? I hear you ask. Yes, I am doing a bit of a UK tour; spreading my Puppy love. Right now I'm still hangin' in Drummore with Poppa and Granny while Elly spends some time with Cameron and Alastair in Beeston, then I'll join them at the end of the week (staying in a few hotels on the way I think!). Next Sunday Elly is going to take me to my next favourite place...Felpham. I really love it there by the sea which is good because that's where I'll stay until I have to go on the plane to join Elly and James.
