Thank you so much! Mum is saving it and will give it pride of place when the new kitchen is complete.

Then yesterday.. another parcel for me!! It was my new collar and leash from DogWalkers.Net Am I gonna look cool strutting my stuff in this or what?

Photo's of me modelling it as soon as.. well as soon as I model it really!

Oh and I have a little secret.. but I promised not to tell!

I didn't promise not to give some clues though!

Mum has been arriving home with bags full of stuff that I am not allowed to touch, sniff, drool on and most definatley not cover with my beautiful black floof!

Why you ask?

hmmm can't say.. but watch this space!

On a more sombre note.. Mum and Dad had some very sad news on Monday

Heaven gained a new star on Sunday.

RIP Steve, no speed limits in Heaven mate.

You collar matches your colors perfectly! Maybe you're 1/2 rottie, 1/2 tiger? A rotiger, perhaps?

I am sorry to hear about your friend and my prayers go out to his family and to your family. My mum kissed Gizmo on the head for you, I think my mum is leaking enough for all of us. His heart is strong and his will, but his body is not.
I love your collar, it is rockin!
Packages are the greatest.

That is a very cool collar. Momma refuses to buy me fancy collars since no one can see them anyway because of my fluff.
