Bad news.

Jasper had to go to the vet's today because he was very poorly. The vet said he had Canine Schizophrenia. Because of this he had to go to sleep.

The Mummy's are very upset.

They keep crying and cuddling me a lot.

I miss Jasper already, he is my best friend, and has always been with me since I came home to the Mummy's.

The Invasion is over!

It is over.

The people puppies have returned from where they came...

My balls are my own again!

Can you see how happy I am?

There are some good things I've discovered about people puppie's

1. They drop food all the time.
2. They leave chocolate smears on the windows for me to lick off.
3. They drop food all the time.
4. They spill sweet fizzy cola all over the place.
5. Did I mention that they drop food all the time.

Bad things about people puppie's

1. They steal my balls.
2. They eat my dog biscuit's... maybe that should be on the good list.
3. They are loud.
4. They are very loud.
5. I can fart and blame it on the people puppy with a padded bum.
6. They wake up very early.
7. They can't open doors when they wake up early so I can have a wee.
8. They monopolise the sofa and my cushion.
9. They steal all my balls.
10. This list is way longer than the other one.
11. Did I mention that they steal my balls.

My conclusion is this.

Me and people puppies are not a match made in heaven. Mummy said they are allowed to come back when Mummy 2 gets 'broodie'. Don't know what that means but I don't think it is good.

Visitor's!

I got home last night and I had been invaded!



The people puppies had arrived and were monopolising my balls!

Not impressed.

The girl people puppy tried to throw the ball for me. Not very well, but she tried. The boy people puppy is a thief. He stole my football and wouldn't give it back. When he dropped it latter I hid it under the Mummy's bed.

People puppies are pants with stairs so it's safe under there.

Mummy 2 say's I'm antisocial. I don't care. I don't like people puppie's.

Still have the lampshade on!

The Runt is now taking pity on me and trying to yank it off my head. I think this is worse than the mickey taking.

On a good note... the bandage is gone. Yay! Now I just have to wear one of mum's socks taped to my foot. Boo!

Ten more days of torture according to the Pet Doc. I used to think she was a nice lady when she gave the Runt injections and stuff... well not anymore!

Check up today.

I have to go to the pet doc's at Heacham at 11 o'clock. might get rid of the Plonker look. And Mummy might stop trying to hide tablets in my sausages then! ruins a good sausage otherwise.

The Runt is taking the Mickey. I'll have to show her who's the boss when this is off my head!

I Look Like a Plonker!

I've got a stupid red bandage on my paw. And I look like a plonker!

Sharp stones and running Jasper's are not a good mix.

Mummy's Poorly

I'm missing my Mum. She's gone to hospital to swallow a camera cos she's got a sore throat. I don't understand how swallowing a big old camera will help that but that is what Mummy 2 said when they left. Uncle Ian is going to look after us while they are waiting in a big room with uncomfy chairs and lots of strangers. Mummy says she hates being poked and prodded and Mummy 2 said that that's why it's gotten so bad.

I'm scared for my Mummy.

Will she throw balls for me tomorrow?

Earthday!

This is my second Earthday. Well officially its my sixth 'cos it started like 40 years ago - which is before both the Mummy's were born, never mind me and the runt! But this is the second one i've been to at Deepdale.

This one was cooler than the last one as i got to see way more people and i got to hang out with the cool artists in the courtyard doing Mummy's Scrap Heap Art Challenge. Mummy gave 'em some cr....rubbish from the farm and raided the bins on the campsite over Easter, then we went to the tip at Sheringham and got some more junk for 'em all to play with.

It was pretty funny watching these different people playing with rubbish and Mummy going 'oh it's wonderful', and 'I love the juxtaposition of the rusted steel in the futuristic robot shape giving us a real sense of pathos at the discarded nature of the world in which we live'. She could just as well have being going blah blah blah blah blah!

She took lots of pictures, but i haven't seen them yet. i'll let ya all have a look when i do.

Especially at the winning robot. It's called Colin the Contemplater and it sits in my courtyard and does nothing. Nothing i tell ya!

Over all though Mummy says it was a great success and she slept better that night 'cos her worrying was done.

Cromer Pier!

Mummy took us to Cromer Pier yesterday to meet with some people and look at the theatre. She said it was 'cos we are going to sell tickets for the theatre at Deepdale now. In the information centre. Just like we sell tickets to the Sealife Centre in Hunstanton.

Mummy said that one of the stars of the seaside special might even come to one of our BBQ's in the summer!

I wonder if they are doggie friendly and could sneak me in to a theatre... I could be a show dog! I'm pretty enough! Don't ya think?

I have a cousin!

Last night Mummy 2 was a bit excited and a bit 'motional. Aunty Lisa (that's Mummy 2's sister) had a rug rat called Jasmine.

She got a picture this morning and said it was baby jazz. It didn't look much like me when i was a baby.... not enough hair!



I don't see a family resemblence myself!!!

Eye eye!!!

The Runt has been to the dog doctor's, who said she's got conjunctivitis. My Mummy has to put drops in her eye every morning and every night, 'cos her own Mummy is squeamish and can't do it.

This means that the Runt is getting even more attention than normal off the humans.

I tried hurting myself for a bit of fuss and attention too. I jumped over the picket fence and got my back paw caught between the bits of wood. Did not like that I can tell you! Hanging off the gate with my Ass in the air. Not dignified. Once Mummy set me free I sat down and held up a paw for her to fuss over and tell me I would be okay... maybe even a treat. It didn't work.

I really should not have held up my front paw.

Happy New Year!

Apparently it happens only once a year.

I don't really like it very much.

Like at all!

It was the annual bath.



Does this face look happy to you?

The Arrival Of The Christmas Terrorist!

It arrived on the 29th.

It stayed for 2 whole days.

Jasper growled at it when it pinched crisps off the table.

I growled at it when it bullied me.

The people who arrived called it George.

I call it... The Christmas Terrorist.

It kept licking all inside my mouth. All the time. It licked my tounge. Ew. It licked my nose. Ew. It licked my teeth. Ew. it even licked my lips. Ew.


I growled.

It licked some more.

I showed it my teeth.

It licked some more.

I was ferocious.

It licked some more.

So I hid behind Mummy.

It tried some more!




Mummy says a puppy is for life not just for Christmas.

I hate Christmas.

The terrorist went on the Thursday and Aunty Sophie came to see us all.

She brought with her her Christmas present.

She calls it Dylan.

It has paws as big as Jaspers at that age(that's what Mummy 2 said anyway).

That means he's gonna be huge!

I hate scary Puppies!



Jasper says I'm a wuss.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I was born for! I feel it in my paws. Just a good temperature for running, and white as far as the eye can see. I love it!




The Runt.... not so much. Look at her! All this funny white stuff and she's sulking 'cos they won't chuck her stick. Boring!




Happy to report on my wandering today I discovered that the Tipi's and Yurt are all safe and survived the Blizzard (that's what Mummy called it 'cos she was bl***y cold last night) and are ready to roll.




Mummy wants Uncle Nic (he's the new cool dude at Deepdale) to build me a sledge so I can pull stuff with it. I think Mummy means pull her on it.

I'll get photo's if it happens.

Mummy's back!

The Mummy's have come home from somewhere called Maldives.

They look all brown and smell like fishes. Uncle Ian said they have been skiving and leaving him to do all the hard work.

He has sat in the courtyard for many hours smoking. It is very hard for him. He also had to take Jasper on walks and he pulled Uncle Ian up lots of hills, even though we don't really have hill's in Norfolk. He worked very hard at hiding my balls too. Bad Uncle Ian. I only dropped one on his head at 3 o'clock in the morning to play ball with me.

I don't like it when the Mummy's go away... but they usually find someone really soft to look after us. I slept in bed with Uncle Ian. He acts all tough but he's a big softie really.

The return of Uncle Ian!!

Yes he's back. (Can you see him?)

The lovable Uncle Ian, who throws sticks for me all day long.

Sticks.

And sticks.

And sticks!!

He's going to look after me and Jasper while he's painting the loo block, and he thinks Christmas is bloomin' stupid! Mummy 2 asked if he'd wear the Father CHristmas suit for the market tomorrow. He said lots of words after that that I can't spell. I think one was 'funk' and he said something about making him look like a kind of bird. Jasper chases those blue tits around the garden at home. I don't know what this has to so with Uncle Ian in a Santa suit 'cos that's red, not blue!

I'm Depressed!

Mummy told me this morning that this time next week I was going to be going to the Christmas Market at the Campsite and Hostel.

I got excited.

Markets equals food, people and lots and lots of attention for Jasper's!

A very good day indeed!

Then she went and spoilt it.... She told me I have to wear the stupid reindeer antlers on my head that she got for some stupid shop in Kings Lynn. Who designed these stupid things? Who? Idiot!

The runt is excited about it.

Muppet.

The Adventures of Jasper and Jazz: Mummy won a prize!

The Adventures of Jasper and Jazz: Mummy won a prize!

Mummy won a prize!

Mummy 2 was awarded the 2009 East of Engerland Sustainable Tourism Award.

Not got a clue what that is but Mummy 2 was talking to a man from the Tellybox and she said "Sustainable tourism is an industry committed to making a low impact on the environment and local culture, while helping to generate income and employment for local people. The aim of sustainable tourism is to ensure that development is a positive experience for local people; tourism companies; and tourists themselves.
Deepdale Backpackers and Camping has strived to fully encapsulate this ethos into its development from the very beginning. Starting as a single camping paddock back in 1979 used only through July and August, a summer project has grown into a worthy representative of sustainable tourism."

I think she's talking about all the litter picking I do and the bins I watch the people in blue jumpers empty all the time. But don't quote me on that!

It also means that now she has won the East of Engerland trophy, she goes into the competition for the whole of Engerland.

Mummy 2 also said "We don't inherit the World; we borrow it from our children…At Deepdale we intend to look after it until we return it."

Mummy 2 talks rubbish sometimes!
