End of Week 1 in the Wheatlands

Yes it's been fun I managed to annoy them a little by trying to bite chunks out of their flesh, I think they are planning some counter attack I saw my mum (well the human one) on the internet

I did remind Jon how quick I can be by a snappy but effective love bite!

I must say however Jon has been great he has an endless supply of bits of chocolate or small treats. If I do some very simple moves I hear a click plus a treat to eat. I can sit and give a high five in thanks, if he puts his hand down on the floor if I lie correctly I am well rewarded.

Mum & dad take me out for rides in the car, I am quite well behaved and love the attention I receive from a wide range of friends and strangers.

I was not impressed with the cold wet rain today

Life is fun & games

Hi all, I'm settling down okay even using the facilities proved occasionally, my den is great for a quiet lie down and the area outside is being used for the loo okay.

Some little people popped round yesterday, one of whom had some natty shorts that were ripe for attack.He was dancing around gleefully as he had scored the opening goal in his teams 5-0 win. Jordan had impressed at training ground so the manager put him up front.

I have tracked down a ball they tried to hide, I also have a rope toy which is good fun, but much more fun is chasing Jon round the house & trying to chew anything I can get hold of.

I slept better last night with radio 2 much better than the Classical music.

Yesterday it seems my medical welfare was being organised with Thameswood (no website perhaps my playmate Jon could get some business), I am really looking forward to the jabs, ID chipping etc and perhaps a much worse fate if I don't behave myself!

I went to bed early last night once I'd worked out which way up I should be, as I feared the master of the house may not be too happy after Saints 1-3 drubbing by Watford at St Mary's and I wasn't going to be at the foot of his anger If he does have a go I'll just chew his Homer slippers Doh!

Now for some fun (Day 2)

I had Classic radio on overnight, Derek had got up early to watch the cricket, and I saw to my job to ensure he missed the first session. The soothing music I been left with, at 5 am turned into a noisy bit of chat at this time waking me up. As I sensed Derek next door I thought it must be time to get up, dawn is breaking. I went straight outside for a quick piddle he thought naively I was understanding this process. I was rewarded with some breakie a Weetabix, I took some on board, then ran around trying to avoid being caught doing the business. After many trips outside where it was still a bit nippy I thought I'd finish off inside when he is not looking. Brill after several false alarms finally caught him out with a number 2 on the kitchen mat!!

He was none too pleased so outside we went thought if I made a bit of a noise it would wake the neighbours and we would be back indoors, it worked.

Now for a bit fun I do love this electronic age the cables are excellent to chew but that delight is being denied I can't understand why.

The first 24 hours (with my new family)

My name is Lennon, a name in keeping with my other four legged friends in my new home. Joining Ringo the Rabbit who lives down the road with Zoe, Jons girlfriend, George the guinea pig, I am dreading them acquiring a pet called Paul I can't imagine what that new playfriend may be, a pig, a porcupine, a pony or even a pygmy hippopotamus! I first met my new human guardians Linda, Derek, Jon & Paul on Saturday 18th March 2006 just a few weeks since I came into this world on 3 Feb 2006, I am a Lakeland Terrier puppy who was still with mum having seen my 5 brothers and sisters leave for new homes the previous weekend.

I was growing up and ready to face the world on my own with some loving new humans to be there for me, so a quick tearful goodbye to mum and off in a car!

A bit flipping freezing out there mid March "I can't believe it" anyway I was given plenty of affection during the two hour journey where I think I impressed them with my behaviour, I even pretended I was asleep for part of the trip. We even had two comfort breaks with a drink of water.

In my new home at last I was keen to explore and one or two new treats were provided but I was much more interested in making my mark about the place. This was great fun as I was picked up every time, then rather rudely rushed to the back garden still very cold dark and windy out there. I thought I'd then impress having got them trained to clear up a little liquid I'd get my own back for putting me outside with a dollop of the solid stuff, a bit sterner reaction so I though I'd better oblige by completing the business outside. Well rewarded I might try that again.

Time for bed a bit of light music in background, a new den with bed and blanket with mum's scent so I would be too homesick. I thought I 'd let them know I wasn't entirely happy by whimpering for a short while then after a very exhausting day I fell asleep. "This seems a good home to have a fun life in."
