Hello again! I had a busy weekend. You know the puppies I went to see the other week? Well if you don't then you can see my post for that visit underneath this one. I went to see them again! They were a bit bigger now but hadn't got the hang of running around!! Their eyes were open and they were walking, wobbling, walking and then falling over! There was a bowl of mushed up Weetabix and milk. By the time we left they were all covered in milk! Some of them got in the bowl and others wiped their milky mouths on eachother's backs! My step mum took a photo of me holding the puppy I liked most. (The puppy had a little white foot)!

That was on Saturday, on Sunday my dad and step mum took me to Crufts. As I live in North Devon it was a long journey all the way up to Birmingham. We had to take the dogs to a dog-sitter and we left there at 9am. It was a long journey but I played on my NintendoDS and was meant to listen to my MP3 but that decided it wan't going to work! We got there at 11.45am. It was really good! There was a place called Discover Dogs where I think every type of dog was. If you can't remember my dogs, Jasper and Rolo there are a few photos of them on this blog. Rolo is a Field Spaniel so we found the Field Spaniel stand and I got a badge from it. I the agility in the main arena. The arena was MASSIVE! The dogs were really good at the jumps and going through the tunnels. Next we had some lunch, I had a really nice chicken sandwhich. (I had some Pick'n' Mix too)! After that I saw the Obedience in another ring. Then it was Gundog time. (Both Rolo and Jasper are gundogs). There were lots of Golden Retrievers and 2 Black Labradors. They were really good! The photo on the right is of the Gundogs. I only got to bed at 10.45 and I had school the next morning. (You wouldn't have liked me)!

Bye for now!

I'm back at school (last week was half term). School is going ok though it's hard to get used to the old routine! On Thursday of half term my step mum took me to Exeter to see Holiday On Ice Fantasy. We drove to Westpoint. I was really excited because I knew it would be brilliant from going last year. We took some sweets as the stalls weren't that good. We bought a sausage roll (for me) and a pasty (for my step mum). We found block C and sat in our places. The show was BRILLIANT!! If I were you go next year (or nag your mum to take you next year)! On Saturday we decided that it was a Daddy and Me day. We thought long and hard about where we would go together and decided on swimming. We went to a different pool than we usually go to. I had been to that pool a few times and my dad had never been before. On the way we nipped into Currys and my dad bought me a NintendoDSLITE. But I did pay for a bit of it. The best thing is that it is pink and I got Sims 2 Pets the game to play. With a few directions from me we got to the pool. I had to change in the lady's changing room and my dad changed in the men's. I got in the pool and did a bit of warm up swimming while my dad swam up and down the pool. My target was to swim a length without a float right into the deep end. I very nearly did but my body wasn't used to swimming that far and got really tired so I had to grab a rope and get my breath back. I was proud of myself even though I didn't quite reach my target. Next time I go swimming I hope to swim a length.
Bye for now!

Hello! Today my step mum, dad and I went to one of our family friends house. We went to see their dog; Winnie and her new born puppies. My step mum told me that they are only a week old. Our friends live on a big farm, my brother used to work there with the chickens they have. They have four children and one is my brother's very good friend, another my sister's very good friend and another built my dad's garage! They greeted us and I went in first. I saw the puppies! Aww! They were so sweet. There were nine of them. The mummy and daddy are Working Springer Spaniels; they look like my dog Rolo but are a little different. I got to hold one. It started wriggling so I put it back with Winnie. I had some orange juice and the oldest son said I could feed the puppies with a little milk bottle. I held the puppies while the oldest son fed them. We took a few photos and then it was time to go but we had our dogs in the boot of our car and asked if we could take them on a walk around the farm. We took them on a walk and then came home to write this!
Bye for now!

Yesterday my dad and step mum took me to Exmoor Pony Centre. First we got lost. Great start! When we finally found the centre after winding roads with my dad's driving (bad) a lady greeted us and showed us a form we had to fill in before we could ride the ponies. Next she showed us which ponies we would be riding. Mine was called Kate, my dad's was called Rufus and my step mum's was called Ramar. We got to brush and saddle them. I was first on. Up I went, Kate was about the same size as Conan (my favourite pony at the stables I go to). I walked around the inside school while my dad and step mum were getting on their ponies. My dad looked a bit strange on a pony as I was used to him being on massive horses! Then we set off, Kate didn't want to go out of the school but after a while she walked on down the lane. Of course Ramar had to stop as well! When finally the ponies were moving Ramar decided to walk into the bush. After a bit of squeesing and kicking Charlotte and Ramar were out of the bush. Then Rufus decided to keep stopping and not moving for at least a minute after. Obviously Kate started stopping too! Finally we got to the moor. Kate was a bit annoying as whenever there was a dip she stopped in front of it, walked very slowly into it and then raced up the other side. One time she did it when I was looking behind me and talking to Charlotte. She did it so suddenly I nearly fell off! Soon we decided it was time for a trot (a bad idea)! We started trotting and Kate suddenly cantered off! I'm fine with cantering but it was so sudden and we were out on the open moor I got a very big shock! After finding my way back to the group the lady asked if I wanted to trot again. I said yes willingly but that was another bad idea! She cantered straightaway again. This was just annoying so I started being tougher with her but that just made her put her head down. I was very annoyed with her now. Guess what it began to rain! Finally we got back to the lane and I had a really nice talk with the lady. When we got back and jumped off I couldn't feel my feet, toes and fingers. It hurt when I walked which wasn't too nice! The lady let us warm up in her office where a warm inviting heater was. At last we were off! My dad and step mum decided to pop into the London Inn in Molland for lunch. We ordered (I ordered Welsh Rare-Bit otherwise known as cheese on toast with bacon)! My step mum and I warmed ourselves by a lovely log fire! At last our food came. I didn't have much to eat because the people put English Mustard on the cheese on toast and I hated it! In the end I ate my bacon and salad and a bit of my step mum's jacket potato. We drove back home and changed our clothes and warmed up. The rest of the day was spent slobbing around and watching TV.
Bye for now!

Hi! Today I'm going to my friend Emily's house for a sleepover with my other really good friend Charley (she is a girl)! I'm really excited! We all like singing so we are going to go on this SingStar thing, like a karaoke but shows you the film of the pop star singing it. Tomorrow at Eastacombe (my Dad's home) we are going to hold a big party. I don't really know why! I've just been helping my Dad cut up the fudge and arrange it. The party starts at noon and we're having nice nibbles and homemade canopes. (I couldn't put the french thingy)! Well I'm going to look at the world wide web and then get ready for the sleepover! Bye Bye!

Hi! Sorry I haven't blogged for a long time. It feels like I have been really busy but when I think about it I haven't! On Friday my brother came back from Nottingham University for Christmas. He is doing Medical Studies. My brother and I are in a Christmas Walkabout. It is in our church. What happens is; the general public come in and there are little place slots for each part of the nativity. The public walk around and the nativity comes to life because they talk to you. More than one group of the public can go around at the same time, sometimes when we did our little bit for one group a next group would come straight after them. I am a dancing shepherd and my brother is one of the three wise men. I have done it once yesterday (Saturday) and am going to do it again today. I have to do it lots of times because people can come in between 4pm and 6pm. Well bye for now!

Hi! At the weekend we had some people over for the roast and to go on a dog walk. There names were Steve, Jude and Holly their daughter who is aged 6. We had a lovely roast and after that I played on the trampoline with Holly. Next I took Holly to my room and we played on the Nintendo. Later we went on a dog walk with my two lovely dogs Rolo and Jasper. I wore my new wellies that are bright pink with sparkly bits on them. We went to Northam Burrows (the place in the first picture on this blog). It was really good fun. We ran up and down the sand dunes. Later on we walked along the beach and Holly and I got bored so we climbed on the rocks. A boy found some amethyst and we took Jude down to look at it. After that we jumped on the mudflats. They are big patches of mud with grass on top that have big gaps between them. We took lots of photos so I picked the best ones for you! In one of the photos I'm on the left, Jude is in the middle and Holly is on the right. Bye for now!
