Call me Lady Scoobie

I think that I should change my name to Lady Scoobie as I have been mixing with the hoy poley this year. Firstly during the summer I was going on holiday to the UK and remember me telling you that I spent 3 glorious weeks in the Hotel Des Toutou in Calais because they would not let me in the UK, where I met some new pen friends (well kennel friends actually). Well last Wednesday I went for a walk with the Deemings again (yawn) and we started the walk at Hotel Barbadilla a five star hotel to walk to Villanueva de Tapia.. They decided to let me off the lead this week as I had been good for a couple of weeks (first mistake) as my new friend Ollie was there too and they thought that it would be OK as we would just play together during the walk (second mistake) as soon as I got out of the car I did a runner as I had picked up the scent of Rabbits. I ran around like a lunatic for about an hour then I heard them whistling me so I went to them hoping to get a bit of ham sandwich from one of the walkers. But after I had run like the wind to catch them I found that he only had dry bread this time. So I just let them stroke me for a bit and tell me what a good girl I was for coming back and then they let me go off again (third mistake) as this time I was in rabbit city. They carried on for a coffee in Tapia and I just carried on sniffing and running around. Eventually I got tired and thought that I had better try to find them again as it was getting late. So I went back to the Hotel to see if their car was still there. But I had blown it and they had gone home without me so I had to stay at the Hotel for the night, this may sound good but unfortunately it was closed for the winter so I spend the night in a five star car park, I was a bit cold and hungry. In the words of my auntie Nik I think I am getting too old for this lark maybe I wont do it again (watch this space). The next morning the Deemings came and rescued me as usual and took me home for a nice (well not really) hot bath and I spent the rest of the day recovering in bed resting and eating as much as I could to build me up for my next adventure. Speak soon Love (Lady) Scoobie xxx

Latest news

Hi everybody just thought I would let you know about some recent antics that I have been up to. Last Saturday night I went to my favourite place Villa Alta to a party and had a great time and would like to thank all the people who gave me lots of nice food and lots of attention all night.

Then on wednesday I went for a walk with the Deemings to my favourite rabbit chasing area from Villanueva de Tapia to Salinas ,but they kept me on the lead all the way so I could only chase them for about 5 meters before getting choked by the lead. On the way back we got caught in a heavy rainstorm and what was a few puddles on the track on the way was now a torrent and we all had to jump across a ditch, one of the walkers tried to pick me up to get me across but I won't let anyone do that so jumped and did not make it across to the other side and sank under the water. Good job that I was on the lead as they could pull me out and not get washed away. I did not like the muddy water and chocked a lot all the rest of the way back.

Merry Christmas everybody, im fedup and want to leave home, had Captain Beefheart tribute for the last week and now just had a bloody famous blue raincoat by leonard cohen....help

I have just been on holiday again. We have been to Cabo de Gata in Almeria. We had a great time and they let me off the lead for one of the walks and I really had a good time and would not go back to them when they got back to the campervan. Cyril eventually tried to catch me and walked after me until I finally got cornered at the harbor and I had to make the decision as to whether I should let him put the lead on me or jump into the water in the harbor. Well as I am allergic to water I just sat down and let him put the lead on me. The next day we walked to a beach and while they sunbathed I was left to walk about with my long lead on which stops me from running off as it’s like being a prisoner on a ball and chain. I had a great time digging holes all over the beach as there was nobody else on there all the time we were there. Went shopping today as it was raining and they bought my a nice neckerchief, think it looks a bit too posh for me what do you think?

First trip to France

Me and my best mate Tilley have just been on holiday to France, It is the first time for both of us. We were really excited. It all started with the usual chaos of loading up the campervan. This time we had extra passengers besides Chris & Cyril we had Pat & Edna (Tilley’s mum & nana). We took 2 days to get to France stopping overnight on the outskirts of Valencia. Pat & Edna slept in a posh hotel we stayed in the campervan with Chris & Cyril. The next day we arrived at Pat’s friends in France and this time we had the campervan to ourselves as all the people slept in the house. We had a great time but heavy rain kept us awake most of the night. The next day we left Pat & Edna with their friends in France and went off in the campervan with Chris & Cyril to do some walking. We went to Mont-Louis then drove about 10k up a narrow road to Lac des Bouillouses where it was very cold a raining, maybe it was because we were at a height of 2005 meters brrrr. We stayed there the night and were going for a walk in the morning but when we woke up it was snowing so we went foe a drive instead. We drove into and through Andorra. We had some trauma when we crossed the border from France into Andorra as Tilley realized that she had left her passport with Pat so as we approached the border we got Chris & Cyril to put us both in the shower and guess what they drove straight through without being stopped. Andorra was a bit dull with just ski resorts and shops and it was cloudy so we just stopped for a quick comfort break. Leaving Andorra back into Spain we also had a problem they put us in the shower again. Chris was driving and thought we should go in the lane for buses as there was a big queue of cars in the other lane, but a man came out and stopped us and had a look in the campervan but he didn’t look in the shower and we kept really quiet, phew that was lucky I didn’t fancy losing my mate Tilley in quarantine for six months. So in one day we went from France through Andorra and then into Spain.

The next day we went for a 10 mile walk which was 5 miles up hill, we had to pose for a photo shoot on the top. We were so tired when we got back to the van that we just ate some food then crashed out for the night. Happy days.

The next day we did another walk but a bit shorter this time through a big forest, we met a Dutch man who was collecting mushrooms and I barked at him but he didn’t look very scared when he saw me, good job I was on the lead or I would have had him. We then moved on to a place called Olot , there was not a lot to say about the place apart from Cyril driving the campervan through a barrier into an area that was only for buses and we could not get out until a bus came in. Olot was surrounded by volcanoes which we were walking round the next day, we didn’t like Olot a lot so we drove to Santa Pau where we found a car park for Autocars so we stayed the night there as we seem to be classed as a bus now. The next day we did a nice walk round the volcanoes along lovely forest paths but I was in for a shock as when we were walking passed a field I touched a fence and had an electric shock which was not nice at all, I wont be doing that again in a hurry.

The next day we drove on to a place called Besalu, we parked on the outskirts of the village and walked in the Deemings seem to like it , it was a very old village with a 13^th century bridge and old village walls. We walked over the bridge and two men were playing music so I didn’t bark at them. We then drove on the Figueres they were going on about visiting the Dali museum, dogs were not allowed in there so me and Tilley got left in the van which was OK because we had a good sleep. They came back and raved on about this crazy artist and how good the museum was yawn yawn. We drove on to Cadaques which is on the Costa Brava they didn’t take us to the beach but hopefully we will do that tomorrow because I love the sand! Tilley is excited because we are going back into France tomorrow to be back with her mum and nana she says she has missed them. The next day we went to Portlligat to see Salvidor Dali’s house we left Tilley in the campervan and I went with Chris and Cyril to the house via a little walk along the beach. I didn’t get to go in the house as dogs were not allowed in so they tied me up outside and I spent the time barking at people who kept saying that I had big ears!! After that we drove back into France, we had to hide in the shower again but we were not stopped this time. It was good to see Pat & Edna again and we slept in the campervan but this time Chris & Cyril joined us as there was no room in the house in France. The next two days we traveled back home without any problems. So now I have been to France and Andorra and had a really good holiday.

Well after 6 days in the olive groves without any food I decided to go back to the Deemings. After looking for me every day and me running away they had brought the campervan to the olive groves where I had been hiding. They found me again last night but I just walked away again. But at 5am this morningI decided that I could not go on any longer after 6 days without food so I went to the campervan and my best friend Tilley woke up the deemings and when they opened the door I just went into the campervan and they put the lead on me and I just lay down and had a kip. The Deemings went back to sleep also and when they woke up they gave me loads of food then took me for a walk. When they got me home they gave me a wash and I felt a lot better.
