Why back the bid?

Back the attempt by England to bring the World Cup to our shores in 2018.

More to the point back Plymouth to be a host city and get us on the map. We have been regarded as a backwater for years.

We have a wonderful location - second to none. Can support a huge number of visitors, and live in a cracking part of the world.

So come on ladies, back the bid and get your chap to visit our wonderful area and watch the footy. You, of course, can visit and sun yourself or wonder our lovely countryside while he is otherwise occupied!! We have a pretty good shopping centre / barbican area as well!!

I am furious

Hi all,

Disney here again. I wasn't going to take over the blog again but they have really gone too far this time.

For the past week I have been looking like a dork with a lampshade on my head. Humans get up to some strange things so I just assumed that they were a bit hissed off with me forgetting to go outside to go to the loo.

The lampshade came off when I went up the park with the guys, when we were talking about the lampshade thing some of the guys started winking and pulling my plonker. When I asked them about the "snip snip" comments some of them started giggling. My Rotty friend couldn't stand for laughing. All I could get from them is "You'll see"

Today my so called human friends took the lampshade off. I haven't been able to get a good scratch going for over a week, so really had a good go.

I also like to give myself a lick. For a six month old I am pretty proud of the tackle if you know what I mean.

I don't know how to put this, I am stunned and shocked. You will just not believe it.

I went down for a lick. Well I just find the whole situation incredible.

Not to put too fine a point on it - they have gone. There last week and now gone.

How can wearing a lampshade for a week do that?? Eh? Hells teeth I am not sure what they were for but I was pretty damn proud of them. A fine set. Now I have a prune hanging there!!

I am beside myself. Friends? Bit of a one way street if you ask me!! And the guys up the park. I am going to have a good sniff around their nether regions next time I am up there. No wonder they were giggling. Yeah good joke guys!!!

Furious, absolutely flaming furious!!

I just can't bring myself to say any more. Unbelievable!!!!

All my love

Hi Leon

Leon banged a comment about the Aviva advert which shows a member of the mighty Green Army on an away trip to Newcastle Utd.

It got me to thinking, has the world had an opportunity to see this picture of your typical West Country football fan? Always willing to help, at no extra cost see the link below.

Never tried to put a link on the blog before. Try anything once - except jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft with a bit of cloth in a bag that you hope will slow you down a bit. Only lunatics do that!!

Anyway, to answer Leon. Nope only got the one comment, unless it was yet another thing chewed up by Disney!

The burning question for Leon this season is are "the Genners" going to hit the top spot or take the European Championship?

You have to laugh, the old boy has kept his sense of humour!! The reality is that when they are drawn against Barcelona that will herald the end of another European campaign and will they even make the top four? Is it the new UEFA cup for them in 2010?

Five year plan puts the Mighty Green Army in the Premiership. New stadium used as a World Cup venue in 2018. Just watch this space!!!

Must be off to wake up now. Bye bye.

Al - First day at new school

I have just found out that Disney has been using this blog to spread unfounded rumours about the way he has been treated. He gets full board and lodging - two square meals a day plus some extras along the way. Full health insurance. TV, heating and two escorted walks a day. All he has to do is be prepared to warn us of any possible intruders.

To be fair, he does the warning bit very well - just ask our neighbours!

I think he just isn't grateful. Well is he in for a surprise, he will moan like hell when he discovers that when he goes a licking - well lets just say he will find out what "snip snip" means!!

Back to the purpose of today's posting. Alice started her new school today, Val couldn't let the moment pass without taking a photo or two. Ches was all emotional this morning waving her little girl off to big school, and Val wasn't far behind!!

The next chapter of her life begins. She enjoyed herself today so let us hope that bodes well for the future.

Plymouth High School for Girls has it's next intake. Five years and we will be worried about GCSE results!!!

You all look after yourselves. And as usual feel free to comment.

You are just not going to believe this!

Look what they have done to me now! Look I am sorry for hijacking this blog, but just look!

It started this morning when Mum, Mummy Cheryl and Mummy Alice took me out for a ride. They kept looking at me and clicking two fingers together and barking "snip snip". I must admit I haven't worked out what that was all about but I digress.

It turned out it wasn't a ride, we went to my hospital. Now it's OK there, the doc is fine and the nurses usually give me a biscuit or two. OK, they prod and poke a bit but that's OK by me for the grub.

Today was different though. My family handed me over and I got put into prison! Yeah, you read right, PRISON!!! There were some other dogs there and, I hate to say this but I am sure I smelt some cats as well.

I chatted to the guys and no one knew what they had done. I reckon I overdid it a bit chewing on the wallpaper last night, but not enough to go down for it! Some of the guys said they didn't feel well so I reckoned it was something to do with the hospital.

Not long after I got there I got to thinking when is feeding time. The old man went out this morning and forgot my breakfast, I put it down to his age. He was a bit cuddly though. Kept smoothing me more than usual.

A bit later one of the nurses came along and took me to see the doc. I got jabbed but that was OK as it wasn't exactly the first time eh? I must have been tired as I just flaked out. Next thing I know I come around back in my cell. Hell, I was really tired. Must have been the walk last night.

The nurse came back and took me out again, I thought I was back to the doc. But it was my Mum. She was all over me, I kept trying to tell her I was shattered.

Then they stuck the lampshade on me. Why I ask you. I can't do a thing. Mum drove me home and I have had nothing but lovin'. I reckon they are sorry for putting me in prison, all a misunderstanding.

But I still have this thing on my head. The old man went out hunting and came back with a chicken. Would you believe he caught it and cooked it whilst out, you have to give credit when it's due!

He gave me a load of chicken, not scraps. Oh no, I got bits off the bird straight into my mouth!!!!

Good really as I can't do a thing with the lampshade on.

Well I have to go now. Still can't work out this "snip snip" thing. Will let you know when I have it figured.

Must go as I am shattered still

All my love

Humiliated again - but I got my own back!

Little did I know what was going to happen.

Yeah, all loving to get my confidence.

Now I ask you. Is this cruelty to dogs or what!

Only agreed if they would wear them as well.

Just in case you were worried that I couldn't get them off.

Couldn't believe they agreed to wear them. Humans - pretty dumb lot really.

This is the one I employ to pick up my poo when we are out. I try to walk him a couple of times a day, but still can't get the spare tyre off him. He calls himself the Alpha Male - look in the mirror sunshine and get real!

This is the trouble maker. I'll bet she bought the ears.

This is me on duty with my head down hiding. Do I look asleep??

And this is me in my usual alert position.

You will just not believe what my humans have been up to now!!

Look, let us get something clear here. I am now 3 1/2 years old (6 months in human years). I have my dignity and street cred to consider.

I have put the pictures on above as proof of the crazy world I have to live in. Have a close look and I will give you one guess as to where two of my humans have just come back from!! They could have brought me back a snazy coat. A new dinner bowl. A bouncy ball. A thousand and one things if you think about it. My mum got a mug that described her to a T, one of the seven dwarfs - Grumpy! The old boy got this paperweight that you shake and it looks like snow. Not sure what that is but I overheard them talking about it. Something about white stuff that comes from up above - yeah, I will believe that when I see it!

Anyway, I digress. They got some pretty snazzy pressies. So what did I get. Just look at the pictures. For heavens sake - I ask you. If the guys and gals up the Blockhouse get to see these I will never live it down.

I fought the fight to stop them putting them on and only agreed when the humans agreed to look stupid as well - I think they succeeded !!

I was actually on guard duty when they dragged me away from my post. I had to go quietly as the old boy look a shot of me sleeping on duty, so he says. I was just keeping my head down so I wouldn't get spotted by a roaming enemy pack, look at the photo and judge for yourself. I think you will agree with me!

The house returns to peace tomorrow as the old boy goes back to hunting for the day. He goes out every day and only comes back with food one in six. Not the best hunter in the world!

He has been lazing around for over 20 weeks now (3 weeks in human years). At least I got to take him out to see the guys and gals up the park a couple of times a day. Gosh, look at the time. Time for my night shift.

Bye for now

Love. Disney.

Alice and her mates from school

Al and Jazzy

Me after a hard days work - now sheared!

Sheared like a flaming sheep - humiliated!!

Hi all

It's me again. I've taken over the old boys blog to show you the continued deprivation inflicted upon me.

I can only assume that in revenge for me going public about the hurt and pain I suffered just for being me - see previous post in case you missed the horror. They put me in the car and took me for a ride. I thought, as would you all, that we were heading for the park. Oh no not this time, it was like the gangster movies "let me take you for a ride".

I was taken to this strange house type place. I got a bit concerned when I saw some really unhappy canines coming out - boy did they smell. None of your honest to goodness mess smells. This was awful. It was like the smell you get from those coloured things that grow in the garden. You know the ones that if you have a bit of fun with the humans start barking like there is a whole enemy pack heading in our direction. Weird species aren't they? Some times I just do not understand them - do the same thing and sometimes they bark like hell and other times they show their teeth and start gasping for breath, yep just weird.

Where was I? oh yep I remember the house place. Well I was dragged in, not allowed a good old sniff - not that I wanted too, did I mention the smell?

I got handed over to this human female dressed like a dog doctor. I thought oh hell not another prod and poke. They do like their poke don't they, can't they just sniff the bum like civilised animals? Sorry getting distracted again.

Anyway this woman. No doctor her. She tried to flaming drown me, covered me in white frothy stuff that frankly tasted awful. I fought back and managed to save myself. Then you will never guess what happened then. I got bloody well sheared!! Yeah I am not joking, sheared like a sheep. UNBELIEVABLE.

Pictures above to prove. Where are the RSPCA when you need them eh!!!

I have also put in some picture of the smaller members of the pack. One is around here nearly every day, I love her she is nice, they call her Alice. The others seem to belong to other packs and join up with us to create noise. It's fun, we all bark together. The old boy and old girl get a bit uptight sometimes - old fogies just don't know how to have fun.

Well must go before I get caught, I dread to think what will happen next, probably skinned alive or something!!

Look after yourselves.

Love

Disney XXXX
