Wuoaaaa, wuoaaa…that is what the TARDIS Time Machine says, no? Pues, let us go all the way back in time to MONDAY, when we had a visit with Auntie Kate and my chicken. Because sabes que, you know what? Reuben was not there! How strange! I looked and looked and while he did show up at the end of the day, it was mainly a visit with my chicken. Auntie Kate gave me Reuben’s salmon though, so I did not mind oh so much.

I captured the sofa, but then Nelly came up too.

I tried to think brave thoughts and hoped she would not hurt me, but she is La Reina, The Queen, and the truth is she scares me a leeeetle, so I just had to look away and make no sudden moves.

Then I gave up and took chicken outside and guess what! Auntie Kate’s grandson played and played with me and chicken. I love him now! He should give ML lessons in proper ways to entertain me, de verdad.

After a ver nice day with everyone at Aintie Kate’s house, it was dinner time. But did we go home to eat, as simple logic would dictate? Noooooooo!

Because ML is on her “We must say goodbye to all our favorite places” obsession, she took poor leeeeetle starving me to Looe. I was very brave and posed very well, despite being clearly half dead from hunger. I am a professional and deliver super guapa estrella no matter how my tummy is rumbling.

Hola amigos! Yesterday we were invited by my new amigo Bruno and his human to watch the sunset on the longest day of the year. ML were muy cansado, very tired, as we had already been to Newquay to pick up her laptop and to Bedruthan for a long walk to eat bunny poo. Pues, I did not really feel like going out past my bedtime, but I am brave, so off we went.

Bruno is a muy guapo fellow from Portugal, a special flock guardian breed a lot like my dear fellow Spaniards, the noble Spanish mastiffs. Bruno is teeeeny tiny compared to a mastiff, but he acted the same way, with the same swagger.

We got to the beach at 9pm, which, de verdad, is my bedtime. I was ok for a bit, but then I dug myself a bed in the sand, curled up, and tried to sleep. I was not happy, because my days of sleeping outside are OVER, ojalá, and I vastly prefer a bed, pillow, and duvet! I kept sighing loudly and giving ML unhappy looks, but that only made her laugh. Pfft!

Thank goodness, Bruno’s Mama Lady was the reasonable sort and eventually we headed for home, where I instantly demanded to have my normal duvet turn down service. Ahhhhh, that is better!

I already have so many good ones. ❤ As Carbón has mentioned 😉, I just got my laptop back after a major update and can now access my pre-2019 photos for the first time in five years. I'm packing my little heart out at the moment, but couldn't resist having a peak at a few of my albums, both of 'baby' Carbón and Brogan, and they brought back such memories...and a few tears. One of my projects for this summer will be to wade through as many as I can (I have over digital 60,000 photos from over 20 years) and polish up my favourites to enjoy.

In that spirit - the ML and Carbón Time Machine! - here's one of my favourites of me and Brogan in Spain. It was just a few months after I finished chemo, ergo the 'stylish' short do! 😁

ML and I were a bit sad, so I told her to put on her water sandals and take me to the beach again where I could keep her mind off goodbyes by running from person to person to mug them for treats, stealing other dogs’ balls, and eating deeelicious things like jellyfish.

Pues, I did not ACTUALLY tell her that, but that is what I did, and it did make her less sad. More MAD, but DEFINITELY also less sad. Whatever works, de verdad?

ML took this photo of a jellyfish in case she needs to show it to the vet when I need my stomach pumped. Her words, not mine. I only ate a few. A few DOZEN. Deeeeeelicios, que rico!
