Well, what a funny week I've had.

On the middle day last week, I had to go to the doctor lady for some form of target practice. Mummy took me for my jab and for some reason, Grandad had to have one as well because he was there too. I was happily enjoying watching the fishes through the window when my name came up in big lights, I felt like a film star. In we went and the lady told mummy that I needed to be undressed - the indignity of it all. Getting undressed in front of two ladies that I never knew. Grandad said that there will come a day when it won't be too bad.

Mummy gave me to grandad for reasons only known to herself, maybe she was getting ready for a jab herself. Grandad whipped my clothes off with such expertise that I hardly noticed then sat me on his lap. The doctor lady said something about this way, then that way and then this way again to grandad but it went straight over my head then all of a sudden - BISH! She'd got me before I was ready!! I made a little moany noise but I wasn't really scared then suddenly grandad turned me around and she got me again BASH in the other arm, then BOSH yet another one in the leg. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?? There were three jabs and three of us, why did I have to take the lot?? None for mummy and grandad, all for me BUT the bestest bit was I got dressed and then I had a bit of chocolate, grandad didn't have any because he was too scared to have his jab - RESULT!

Now on Saturday I had a sleepover at nanny and grandad's. It was quite a bit of fun, I had some dinner (grandad still calls it tea) then a play before I got ready for a bath. Nanny took my clothes off and a had a giggle with grandad before nanny bathed me and got me ready for bed. I went off to sleep quite good and stayed there until I felt the time was right to check if nanny and grandad were still awake - happens they weren't but they were now!! Grandad came in to sort me out and made the mistake of talking to me, so I decided this was a good time to have a good chat with him - and chat with grandad I did - nearly two hours on and off. I played a sort of hide-and-seek game with him, he put me in bed, I woke up again............ Brilliant fun but I fell asleep for real around 2am. In the morning, they took me back to mummy and daddy and normality was restored.

Monday, my grandad day was only half a grandad day. I think he got fed up with me on Saturday so wanted a part-time role today. As there wasn't a lot of time, we didn't do a great deal. We played with the bricks and I turned Millie's water bowl over. I can distract grandad for two seconds then I run off whilst he's not looking and tip her water over the floor then stand in it and point at it when he comes through "How did that happen?", I would say if I could. After my little snooze, we trotted off into Tesco for a walk along the Ox's Road, we were gone AGES and it was fun looking at the shops and the people with red faces. Nanny phoned to check that grandad hadn't left me somewhere and asked if we'd want to pop in to see the chickens at school. Grandad had to stay outside with Millie, he said he felt a little weird standing outside a school with a little dog but I went in with nanny and another lady. The baby chicks still looked fluffy although some were beginning to get some feathers which they use to tickle people with. Grandad told me that when they grow up, they're called hens. He said there are two types of; battery operated hens and three strange hens. I have no idea where the batteries go in those ones and what are three strange hens?? He said they wander around as they please so I've come to the conclusion that I'm a three strange hen too.

When we got back, even older nanny was at grandad's house and she popped in and popped out again after saying hello. Mummy came soon after and took me to the swings and slide and once again, not for the first time this week - normal services were restored at the Dogg residence. 

Next week grandad says our plan is to go and find Henry. Yeah, I don't know either!!

I'm not talking to Grandad W! 

I'm now 1 year and 2 days, Sunday was my birthday. Yes grandad, SUNDAY WAS MY BIRTHDAY and where were you?? Everyone else came along to the party I had with my old buddy, Cruz. 

Grandad W was away with 'the lads' for his weekend playing a game called "Sod it". I think the other men call it golf but grandad plays a slightly different version. 

So I'm not talking to grandad, that's all I'm saying. 

As far as I know, my birthday party with Cruz went really well. Mummy made the bestest cake EVER (grandad didn't get any but that's his fault), Gruffalo cake made from real Gruffalo. We had a big tent in the garden and a wobbly castle too. Apparently Grandad's mates were wobbly too and they didn't have cake either. 

And so begins my tale for today; we didn't do anything special yesterday. I still had a hangy over from Sunday and grandad was a bit slower than normal; he's not as young as he used to be. 

We had some shoppy bits to do yesterday as well as Millie walking, she's a good girl. She licked my face but grandad wouldn't let me lick hers. As we drove along the road, grandad stopped behind a big bus but a silly lady overtook us and nearly bounced off the cars coming the other way. She nearly knocked some people over. I think grandad may have known her because he done a funny wave at her.

On our walk I saw two Supermens and a Batman. Batman came and talked to us Ninna, ninna, ninna, ninna. Ninna, ninna, ninna, ninna BATMAN!!! He was a cool dude and he gave us a keyring but I've no idea why. 

Once we settled down and got back to our day, we walked Millie until she done wee-wees and a poohy then we went to the petrol shop. Grandad put a pipe in the car to blow it up although it didn't look flat to me. Millie stayed in to guard the car and my snuggy blanket whilst me and grandad went to give a man who looked like he'd been on holiday some of that paper stuff I took from grandad's wallet last week. I watched the man who'd been on holiday but he didn't give anything to grandad, I think grandad has been diddled. 

We then got back into the car and went to the Bake House where grandad stopped and got me out AGAIN. Why can't he take Millie in and let me guard the car, I'm bigger than Millie anyway! In the shop he asked the lady for a farmhouse, I'm really confused because he should go to the State Agent man for a house. The lady then asked if he wanted it sliced!!! How can she do that and what use is half a house to anyone - unless of course, people are getting unmarried. I really don't understand grown-ups or grandad at times. Then he got a pasty (for him, nanny) and a cold sausage (for me) then said "Pop them in the same bag". How stupid, the cold sausage would then be warm from the hot pasty. Even I could work that out. 

We got back home and grandad gave me the sandwich mummy made me, he ate the pasty like it was going out of fashion and he gave my sausage to Millie!! Now that cheesed me off so that's why I'm writing this so nanny can tell him off for the pasty. Don't mess with The Dogg!!!

After dinner we played with some play dough which nanny had cooked. I found it great fun to roll it like little bogies then ping it on the floor. Grandad made a little man and I pulled his arms off and lobbed them at Millie. LOL. (LOL? Where did that come from??) Grandad let me run around and I was going so fast that we are thinking of entering the Lympiks soon. We had such a good afternoon so I decided it was time to talk to grandad - about the same time he said I should be going to sleep. I did have a kip later so Millie and grandad had a cuddle on the sofa - they always do when I'm not looking.

Have a nice week, catch you later

Thank you, mummy xxx

Today is the beginning of the week, right?

The beginning of the week is a Monday, right??

Monday is grandad day, right???   WRONG!

Now, I know I'm still a baby - ah no, back the truck up a bit buddy!! I am no longer a baby and that's a fish all (I don't have any fish so don't understand how it can be a fish all!!). I have entered a new stage in my long and active life and I have now become very active because I am now a toddler. I am so pleased, I don't know what a toddler is exactly but I am equally pleased to be one because everyone seems happy with me. I was a little annoyed at being a toddler at first because when I got up and started to move towards people, they moved further back so I couldn't get to them. I am wondering if this was some form of child cruelty.

I digress, back to my point. Grandad day was different today as both nanny and mummy pulled sickies from work. They said it was something to do with a holiday at the bank but nanny works in a school and mummy at a University - maybe mummy is cleverer than nanny. My poor old dad, he doesn't work in a bank either so he didn't pull a sicky and he went to work. He can have a day off when its Manager Holiday. Grandad came over as usual, I think the clocks went back again last night as he was later than normal and he had nanny with him. I thought grandad was taking nanny and mummy to work but he didn't, they will be in so much trouble tomorrow and their bosses won't give them any supper.

We all trundled off in grandad's big buggy and we went through some places I'd never seen before; past a big river, over some hills, past aminals in the fields (moo cows, grubby pigs and some that grandad calls woolly pigs which I think are sheep). We went on a big road near six big chimney pots, past Spenners (not sure who he is) and on to a place called Milletts Farm somewhere near Ox's food.

Mummy put up my buggy because it confused grandad - didn't even ask nanny to do it - then off we went into a big shop. I seemed to remember this place from somewhere and think I came here when I wore a younger boys clothes. We walked around some chickens and I got down as low as I used to get to see them, they were great. Grandad noticed the smelly pigs near the garden place and they did pong a bit. We looked in some little wooden houses like the one grandad showed me in the place called Lotment the other week but these had stairs in and two fronts doors, one on top of the other!! They were brilliant but grandad noticed the smelly pig pong was following us although I couldn't see it when I looked around. Mummy and nanny then went to change my nappy, not sure why it needed two of them but there you go. I ran around for a little while and grandad said if I go any faster, I'll have to learn the 'Mobot' soon. 

We walked, yes WE walked around a bit and saw some more aminals and then we went to the dinner shop. Mummy and nanny robbed grandad and went in the get our food whilst I took grandad's sunnies off his head and poked them in his eyes. Grandad let me pull the leaves off the bushes and throw them on the floor. Nanny bought me and grandad a lasagne thing, she makes us share so he can still fit in his trousers and nanny and mummy had some type of flat sandwich thing.

I went for a snooze whilst the grown-ups (??) went for a stroll then we headed back. We popped in to see daddies Anuty Bev where a man with less teeth than me said hello and we sat next to some people from Geordie Shore where a lady told everyone about her bad week whether they wanted to listen or not, Grandad started huffing and puffing like an exhausted dragon.

After this, nanny and grandad dropped me and mummy off at home which was rather careless and then they went to their house with Millie.
