Weeks 15-16:

Sorry folks for the delay but we all been very busy celebrating Julie's win at the National Care Awards.  Please do remember I taught her all she knows!

• Well the ASBO hasn't been lifted in actual fact Julie has got a personal trainer for me!  I think it is Julie and Ed who need the training not me!  Julie just can't cope with me stealing a drink out of her mug.  Now  who said I should drink out of a bowl and not a mug??  Exactly no one

             "It says refill when empty so what is the problem?"            "So what is wrong with tipping the coffee over Karen's review?"

• Apparently when I go out for a walk I should not come back smelling like a sewer!  I was only having fun along the railway line and fell into a bog so why the bath treatment as soon as I get back to work?

         "So what does it matter how dirty the water is?"                                "Just let me get out this water smells"

• Believe it or not but I am now legal.  In the Isle of Man dogs still need a dog license and in return for Julie handing over more money I get my own personalised numbered disc to wear on my collar.  They asked Julie if I had been neutered because if I had been it would have been cheaper.  Don't know what neutered means but Ed tells me to keep well clear of it!

"Just check out the disc"

• You've guessed yes I do get told off for sitting on the office chairs but do look how handsome I am
• I have been trying to help the residents and staff with the afternoon activities and I want to know what the problem is if I do steal the dice or chew the domino or run off with the ball?  Doesn't this all lead to more fun?

"Well the colours looked so good and I felt sure I could catch a snake or two"

"No you can't have the ball back"

• My favorite pastime is still going to the beach and chasing the seagulls and I have now started chasing the waves, but have you any idea how cold the Irish Sea is?  Talking of the Irish Sea the weather has been so bad and the boats not sailing that they are having difficulty getting food supplies in.  The worse thing is when they are saying that puppy food is not a priority!  It might not be for them but is certainly is for a five month old puppy I can assure you

        "Please note the ball I have just retrieved"                       "See I can sit still whatever Julie says"

• I leave you this week with a very interesting question- Why do baubles, tinsel and fairies have to stay on the Christmas Tree when they look so much better chewed and in my basket?  Maybe we will go into that next week.  We do have the most amazing decorations here.

"How many shopping days left until Christmas?  Now that thought does deserve an ASBO"
