Disney here to tell you about a cracking week!

Me, before it all kicked off. Blissfully unaware was I !!

Mum for her early morning cuddle

I love her, but look, a guy has to get a bit of kip.

Incredible. I was allowed to have a go at this lot.

They bought me something that made that weird window move

Mummy Alice told me it was a film for me to watch.

Didn't have a clue what she was talking about but there

were strange dogs in the window thing.

I tried to say hi but I reckon he was deaf.

It's very tiring looking out the weird window on two legs.

The pack leader said something about Dalmatians. An awful

lot of them I can tell you! Remind me never to go near one

of them bitches - no sleep time at all I would guess.

Really bad news. I am not surprised the guy is running. A really

bad human has stolen his kids. I tried to help but couldn't reach the

weird window.

I was right behind them. I told them who stole their kids

but they didn't seem to hear. Not sure if all the dogs are deaf in the

weird window.

I was yelling at her to let the guy off the lead. Tried again to

get in and help

Got a bit mixed up here. The pack seem to be happy about

something. Don't understand myself but I got to chew on the

paper and I found some great toys inside! The whole pack

was a ripping and tearing - brilliant.

Look at this. A brand new shoe that I got to chew. No one stopped

me at all. Didn't get told off, in fact they seemed happy to let

me carry on. Don't know why as it was the best shoe I have

ever had a go at!!!!

Oh yes. Before I move on I have to tell you that those

Dalmatians got there kids back. I am not good at counting

but there seemed to be a helluva lot there in the end.

They weren't deaf, just a bit hard of hearing. A lot of the guys

that managed to jump into the weird window were shouting

along with me, they heard when we all had a go. The other

guys didn't seem to get the whole story - so I told them all.

I was just glad I could help.

A bit put out that none of them would tell me how to get into

the weird window though.

The day after the paper tearing and me helping that couple

to find their kids we went to a place with no grass at all.

It was right beside the water, I mean really close. I get to see

the water every day from my walks up the Blockhouse but this was

really really close. Mummy Alice thought it was brill and just stood

looking out.

Some great smells. I got a crab to eat but the pack alpha male

took it. He didn't eat it, just threw it in the water. Not fair.

Mummy Alice again. I am just out of this one.

The pack spread out. Looking for food and keeping our eyes

out for the local pack. You can never be too sure. Keep your

guard up is our motto.

Sometimes that water chased me but I was always able to chase it back.

There were some humans out in the water riding on wood.

They never cease to amaze me. That water was freezing.

This is our number one bitch. She keeps herself warm by

lighting little firesticks. None of the rest of us do as it isn't

that good at keeping us warm - but we are all afraid to tell her.

Mummy Alice being chased by the water. I barked at it

and it ran away. I am always having to save her from

something or other.

Here I am tryin to work out what those humans are doing

on their bits of wood. They aren't succeeding as they keep

having to go back out and try again.

Water tried to catch me out but I am too switched on.

Mummy Cheryl whilst me, Mummy Alice and the old boy

are making sure the water behaves.

Mummy Cheryl and Mummy Alice didn't notice the water

trying to jump over that wall over there. I stopped it.

That water was getting angry and started jumping fairly

high. Just thought we should move on. I wasn't scared.

The water is getting really angry. They don't seem to have

noticed it. I will look after them though.

Boy have I had a great bunch of days. The whole pack has been home for a couple of them.

They all got excited one day and brought out a load of things wrapped in paper. I was allowed to chew on some and found some brill things inside. There were some new toys and a great shoe along with a new sausage dog.

The old boy turned up with one helluva turkey. I have been getting turkey for breakfast AND supper for the last few days- heaven, but I don't have to tell you do I.

Some time ago the chief bitch stared decorating again. But this time there were like - well you know when it's dark when you go for a walk and you look up. Those lights up there. Well she put them in the house. All over the place.

I now know what the lights up there in the dark are. Not sure who put them there, or even why, but at least I can tell the guys up the park now. It's just one of the things we have been chatting about recently, so nice to have it cleared up.

After the paper ripping day we went out in the car. Not a little drive like over to the park. I had to keep looking out the window to keep track. To be honest I don't think I would have found my way home so I stayed close to the pack. We went to a place with strange, but really nice, earth and no grass. Great smells. Huge amount of water that kept chasing us and got really angry when it couldn't get us.

When it got a bit cold we went into a pub. I spoke to a local there, he said we were at a place called "Hope Cove". It was nice and I hope we go back. The pub was nice and warm and I was allowed to sit with the pack and eat chips and sausage. It was brill.

Yesterday my alpha male took me out on to the moors with his sister. They told me she lived a long way away on the other side of the world. Not too sure what they were talking about but she must have walked for an awful long time to get here.

Right then, I must go. The pack are talking about the end of the year. Mummy Cheryl is out hunting so is going to miss it. Mummy Alice has brought her friend Jazzy over so I have had a great time chasing their feet and trying to chew their shoes. It is great fun and we all really enjoy it as they keep barking really loud with me. The old boy comes in every so often with his "NO!" so we stop until he goes back up to his room. Then it's fun time again with us all barking really loud!!

I have been told to tell you all to have a great New Year. If it is as much fun as the last week I just can't wait!!!

Love to you all. Disney and the rest of the pack. XXXX

bit of fun

Val in action

Me showing my potential

Ches as a pin up

Sorry about this posh!

Al getting carried away

Paris was looking for a new best friend

With many thanks to PhotoFunia.com

Update on Disney's leg. All seems fine, just got to get the insurance sorted!! He is running around with his mates again, but I have restricted him playing with the big boys. He has had a little run with Bear, but on the extender!

Talking about insurance. The ceiling is repaired, but of course the empty room was just shouting at Val "Redecorate me!!!!" Oh fun! The builder has to return to paint so I will give it until then to put photos on this blog.

Saw Big Frank in Morrisons today, his belly is showing signs that he is enjoying his retirement!!!!

I have a new mobile phone. The old one had £10 put on it some time ago and still had over £4 when it finally gave up the ghost! Don't understand the need for the over usage of the damn things!!!! I now have to come up with a ringtone for my new one, give me an excuse to mess about on the PC!!!

Argyle conceded a goal in the third minute of injury time to lose 1-0 away at Leicester. Ah well, Al and I will still be there in our seats next week. This time with an extra supporter as Shaun is over from the CI.

Look after yourselves, especially with the rather strange weather we have been experiencing of late.

LS&GCM. At Chivenor 5 March 1986

CinC Commendation 2 August 1983.

Val's sister Silv came over yesterday and brought the two photos above around. She has been having a clear out and came across them.

Who is the handsome young airman I hear you ask. Well he is now the KOS writing this blog. Hard to believe eh!!

Anyway. Couple of updates. You will be pleased to know that Disney appears to have made a full recovery. He went for his two walks today, a nice level quiet one with Val then his up the park with his mates one with me. His mate Ruby was up there. She is a Scottie so about his size.

They had a bit of a run and play, I kept my eye on his back leg just in case. All appears fine and no limping on the way home. Just got to complete insurance claim form now to get a bit of the cash back!!!

Talking about insurance. I cleared out the spare (Alice's) room yesterday as the workmen are coming to fix the ceiling tomorrow. They have to have it totally empty. So I spent all of yesterday clearing it out. And I had to use a days flexi leave to do it!

It is amazing how much fits in one room, you only find how much when you have to take it out and deposit it around the house!! Had to take the sofa bed to bits (real fun that!) and disconnect all the electrical kit. Really looking forward to putting it all back together.

Val told me yesterday it was the perfect opportunity to redecorate the room. Of course if the room is redecorated it just HAS to have new curtains.

This washer leak is costing me a flaming fortune!!

You all look after yourselves, no matter where in the world you may be.

Just to rub salt in the wound

And just to rub salt into the wound see pictures of my spare room above!!!

Slow leak and a beastie growing in the loft.

Again I thank the insurance industry. Without the strength of an insurance policy the last week or so would have proved very very expensive!!!

Got a day off tomorrow to empty out the room - oh deep joy!

Update on Disney : Limping a bit but not nearly as bad as yesterday, however he is on painkillers so they may be masking a problem!

Not having a lot of success making sure he has his bed rest!!!!!!!!

At least sister Mary is fixing his coat, now stop reading this Marms and get that sewing tin out!!

Our little boy went out to play with his mates today. This time when he was playing with Bear Dog he yelped, then limped off!

So down to the vets hospital we went fearing the worst. You will be pleased to know that there appears to be no long term damage. We have the X-rays to prove it!!

He has tweaked something and is limping around. He has to have complete rest for the next few days.

Question. How do you make sure a 8 month old westie has complete rest!!!!!!

Ah well, fun as usual at 122. Thank God for insurance, so far the bill is£229.05, and he has to go to our vets for a follow up check on Tuesday.

For those of you that don't know, Bear Dog is a white German Shepard. One of Disneys best mates, they play most evenings without too much hassle, just hope Dizzy now learns he has too be careful playing with the big boys!! Not that I hold out much hope!!

On a different front congratulations to the NZ All Whites. They have qualified for the World Cup and our very own Green Army Rory Fallon got the goal that put them through. I watched the game up to 15 minutes before the end, I couldn't stick it out so fast forwarded to the end of the match. You would think I was watching England play. Just shows when one of "our guys" is in the team how important it can get!!

I think Rory will be the first current Argyle player to play in a World Cup final stage. Go NZ!!

Talking about down under. Happy Birthday to Anne, sissy-in-law in Aus.

Hi to all in Aus from us over here, Clare, B and the dogs. Tony, Anne, Mum, Cameron and Tracey plus her little family. A young woman with her own family now. Not that long ago she was sliding down our stairs with C and Alice. Doesn't time fly!!!

Well, it is now half past midnight and another full day lies behind. Just watched the new Star Trek movie on DVD. Arrived in the post this morning. Cracking film. Even Val watched it!!

Look after yourselves everyone, and night night.

Ever wondered?

Ever wondered what happens when you let two 11 year olds free to do what they want?

See the pictures above - thinking about it though, it may have had something to do with All Witches Night.

Al and Zoe had a great time wondering around the streets trying to frighten everyone they met. Trick or treat appears to have taken off in our area. I started with a large container full of packets of sweets and ended up with just the one packet. Phew!!

And now to:

Ever wondered what happens when an eight month old Westie runs around with his best mate?

When the best mate is a rather large white German Sheppard then just look at the shots above.

One very tired little dog. Disney and Bear have only seen each other twice in the last few weeks as Bears dad has been a bit poorly (nice to see you up and about Rob, back to work Monday week mate!!). They made up for lost time. I keep meaning to take the video up as it is so funny watching little and very large play together.

Disney nicked Bears ball tonight but handed it back fairly quickly when he was caught!!

Ever wondered where time goes? Like most people today I just keep meaning to do things, like update this blog, and run out of time.

It is now 8.55 and at 9 there is one of the few programmes Val and I watch together - Benidorm. So there we go I have to dive off now!

I haven't forgotten you all and hope to update on the goings on at 122 - collapsing ceiling and all!!!

Val has just shouted to up so I have to go.

Look after yourselves.
