Hi Boots
Thought I'd catch up with you, since there's not a lot going on for my Granny and Grandpa to blog about.
Mummy has found a really good set of fields for me to charge about in, with interesting bits of woodland in between them. This means I am getting a LOT more exercise, which is good, since I was beginning to worry that I was getting a touch tubby.
Also, there are lots of bunnies about in the woods, and the other day this led to a bit of what Mummy calls an imp ass or something. It's an odd thing to say, 'cos I didn't see any imps about, only bunnies. Anyway, what happened was that I very, very, very nearly caught a bunny, in fact I got some of its fur in my mouth, but it was deep in a thick hedge.
So naturally, I stayed in there to see if I could get hold of it properly. Mummy kept calling to see if I was all right, and every time she did, I popped my head out of the hedge to reassure her, then went back in again, because of course, nothing is more important than catching a bunny.
Eventually, Mummy walked off, so I just stayed where I was, since she'd presumably found something else to do whilst I tried to catch the bunny. When she came back to the edge of the hedge, I popped out to say hi and she put my lead back on, the spoilsport. Also, I'd lost the bandanna I was wearing, a particularly fetching red one, which had got stuck on some brambles deep inside the hedge.
The other downside is, maybe because I lost the bandanna, Mummy now walks me past there on the lead every time.
Today, we've come over to see Granny and Grandpa on their boat, and we had a fantastic walk through the local country estate, which is called Shugbunny or something. There was a really big field near the river where I could charge about chasing seagulls until I was really tired and was quite glad to be put on the lead again.
Tomorrow, we're going back to my house, via the main running about place; Grandpa says he'll bring his long grabby thing with him, and we'll see if we can get my bandanna back. Maybe if we do, I'll be allowed to chase the bunnies there again.
Lots of licks
Your friend Sally.

Dear Sally
Hope you don't mind us gatecrashing your thing with Boots. Chasing bunnies is the best thing! But we're not allowed to charge around at the moment - mummy Sue says we're all "walking wounded" (because of chasing squirrels in the garden). We're charging about anyway - it's got to be done, after all, we're greyhounds!
Love and licks

Hello Sally
I hope you don't mind me writing to you - my mummy doesn't even own a narrowboat, but she does hire them and me and my companion Helga love it. She even hired one last Christmas, but we didn't go anywhere on it cause we were frozen in.
I am a tiny little rescue dog and the same colour as you. I nearly caught a bunny too - big as me, it was - while we were cutting through a football pitch so mummy could walk along the canal to Osterley Lock. Mummy had to pick the fur out of my teeth and was looking for blood - she didn't want the bunny to be hurt - bunnies are for chasing and catching and eating - I think I have Jack Russell in me blood. Oh and I nearly caught a squirrel too, if only I could have got further up the tree quicker. You are lucky to have a granny and grandad that have a narrowboat.
Licks and stuff,
Linda
(I was called that before I was rescued and mummy says it's bad luck to change a name, just like a boat)
Hi guys
Good to hear from you all, and to hear about your chances of bunny chasing.
I managed to do a bit more today, out walking and running with Mummy and Grandpa at the main running place. Grandpa rescued my bandanna with his long reach thing, and I found what looked like the body of the bun I nearly caught the other day, but mummy wouldn't let me munch it up :(
I tried some charging about after fresh ones, with both Grandpa and Mummy shouting at me. I think it was encouragement, but I wasn't really listening. In the end, Mummy tried to stop me with her leg as I charged past, and then fell over, so I went back to see if she was all right, and she put the lead on me!
I just don't understand humans sometimes – I mean don't they realise what would happen if we didn't keep the bunnies down? We'd be over our heads in them in no time at all.
Anyway, keep on woofing
Loads of licks
Sally
