Inside Rain

Dear Mugsy

Hope you had a great weekend  - i did

Saturday i discovered rain from the ceiling - in my case - it was not from a real ceiling - my two legs called it a shower - not as much fun as you described - but not as bad as a bath - although same result - i ended up clean and smelling of flowers (mummy and granny says lovely - i says yuk!!!!!)

Sunday Granny and Grandpaw picked me and mummy up and i behaved badly i whinged and whinged and everyone (3 two legs) got really angry - i was in trouble!!!! and then i met Delilah and we went to a fashion show at Ralph Lauren - not sure what a fashion show is really -this was a fancy shop that loves dogs - we had a ball - we were the only dogs (there were about 30 ) who were off lead - but all were running round playing - and trying on some great clothes - i got a great cashmere jumper - it is super warm (and soft) and two t-shirts to sleep in i look so cool - they are just like grandpaws polo shirts!!!!!!

the two legs had fancy snacks and we had doggy snacks - unlimited and photo taken - in doggy poses on beds and soft rugs and blankets, sofas - all the places i am not normally allowed !!! and we were encouraged to jump up!!!!! - and out pictures might be in the brochures and society magazines!!!!  - and it was all in aid of a charity just for dogs - battersea dogs home - so i didn't even complain about being brushed - boy was it tiring - i was so tired i slept the rest of the day.

what did you get up to -

lots of love and licks

Poppy

ps it is very cold today - so i have not taken my new jumper off all day - i look so smart!!!!!

Dear Mugsy

You sound like you were in serious naughty or Lucy mode yesterday- and boy are you brave - i could never get in all of that naughtyness in one day

never seen rain inside before - it sounds so exciting - i think i live in hope.  Mummy says its a disaster!!!! and she hopes your Mummy and Pawpa have been able to sort it out ok and the damage is not too bad - she sends them her love - and says you have to behave better - I'm on your side, it sounds such fun!!!!!!

This morning the snow was back - it had snowed all night - and it came right up to my tummy without me have to crouch - i was made to wear two coats so i looked like a michelin dog - but i was warm (until i got really wet) and i had great fun getting to work - Minty and Danny were both at the park and we had a good play then great cuddles with Mummy in a towel to warm me up at work before another play in more snow at lunch - it is now melting and is at a horrible sort of wet stage now - it just cold and miserable - i am lying in my bed sulking.

I have never tried chewing towels - always thought they were for being wrapped up in a cuddled - shredded a few with my claws - that is a very bad thing - i get into very big trouble - and actually the cuddles are great - recommend quiet time wrapped up in a big towell on a lap all cozy and snuggly - squeaky toys and balls are for chewing not towels - unless they're paper towels/ tissues in which case i am not sure about chewing more shredding - that really is fun - and if its outside mummy doesn't complain too much.

I told mummy about you chewing your yellow coat - i have a pink rain coat i don't like it has a hood on it and it gets in my eyes and my legs go on strike - and then i get in trouble - chewing coats is bad - its not worth it - being called lucy is not so bad - i had a little strike (when i refuse walk) earlier today and she took off my lead and threatened to leave me - i couldn't risk it and before i knew it i had done exactly what she wanted and walked back to the office, by her ankle to heel exactly as she said!!!!! - You are going to have to be careful - keep chewing coats and they will paint mustard on it - then when you chew it you get an awful taste it lasts for ages nothing gets rid of it - it stops all fun for hours - and they think its funny - stick to the balls - i think my two legs might be bringing you one - theres a big one in the flat - and i can't get my mouth round it - but i have lain on it so you can smell me.  I suggested she brought some gravy but she didn't think your Mummy would approve or the customs people - i don't know who they are but they sounded scary.

Hope you are being Mugsy and not Lucy today -
lots of licks

Inside Rain

Dear Poppy,
So much information to process! I will have to re-read this message several times to be able to process all of these unfamiliar things. Your country sure is different than mine! I am still reeling from my experience this morning. Does it rain inside in London, too? When I woke up this morning water was streaming in all down the wall and onto the floor. It was great fun. I tried to catch it in my mouth, but again, the two legs gave me more commands. Go upstairs, Mugsy, Get out of the way, Mugsy. Why would they tell me to go away when they created such a fun game for me to play? So, so odd! The female two legs told me to forget about the bisto gravey granuals. She says they don't make them in this country and I need to toughen up because I am a big dog, not a delicate toy dog like you. I don't think that's fair. Do you? I thought it was a bit nasty so on our way home from our walk this morning I bit my yellow raincoat and wouldn't go inside. The female two legs told the male two legs to go get his dog. That's what she says when I'm having fun.
Your mum's BIRTHDAY!! That sounds like fun. Give her an extra lick or two from me and from both the two legs. I know they would want your mom to have a super, great day today. I signed a card last week for your mum. I hope she got it.
Just one more thing, I thought towels were for biting. I'm sure they would be yummier warm. I can't wait for that!
Licks to all of you,
Mugsy (A.K.A. Lucy today)
