Message Well what is going on! It has actually been warm for some of the weekend and not unbearable for the rest! So Saturday my Mam takes me to a new place for me but apparently one of her fave destinations, Robin Hoods Bay. If I´m good in the long run we will camp here! It is so beautiful here and my favourite thing is chasing seaguls and not realising that I have ended up in the sea with a wave crashing over me! We went to this pub called the Dolphin which is the Mams fave and sat out with a scoundrel called Bert, he´s a terrier cross but quite tall like me. Then we went to Whitby, walked loads of steps to the abbey, got told off for being on a beach I wasn´t allowed on and had fish and chips at the Magpie Cafe, my Mam couldn´t eat all of hers so I got plenty, yum!

Today been to Lindley, Swinsty and Fewston reservoirs, boiling hot so glad of a swim. See my uploaded photos and vids to see how much fun I´ve been having of late!! Would recommend Swinsty to all of you for a good days walk, swim and picnic!

Well it's been ages again. Things have been as up and down as a terrier at a child gate! Had my problems, bit the human and some of her friends! She's been teaching me to ignore people and dogs by the means of my old weakness garlic sausage! I'll let the human tell you the ups and downs of all that though. I am here to tell you about what a brilliant day I have had today. I have a best friend called Hopey (quite a poigniant name as it happens for me!), he's a Manchester Terrier cross with all his bits intact but I like him a lot. So the humans drove us to Eccup reservoir and we all had a good old walk through the farmers fields and around the reservoir. Some times I was off the lead and me an Hopey just ran and sniffed pooh and stuff! Then we got to this bit where we could get into the water. At first Hopey's human threw in a big stick and he swam to it but I stopped before it got too deep, but when he got out I challenged him to the stick and won. Took it to my human who threw it back, I was deterermined this time but as it happens Hopey didn't fancy the cold of the water again so I swam out and got it. He tried to nick it off be but after a growl and a tug o war I won again and took it back to my human, who, by the way threw it straight back in the water! Tuh! So we ran on through the fields, at one point Hopey rolled in the muck track and became a rather nice stinky muck colour, I was a bit jealous! I think we are going rough camping on a beach soon so I'll let you know about our adventures, me and Hopey are going to be having lots of adventures I am sure. Watch this space for the camping journals! I'm tired out, I will get a photo of me and Hopey for my next blog. Happy and tired. Fred x

I've asked my Mum about meeting up and she's up for it but said it will have to be in a few weeks because we are very busy the next few weeks. It's bank holiday this weekend and Mum said we are going seeing Jess at the caravan and she may have to go to Cornwall for something to do with work, the next two weekend. She isn't very happy about that either!!

Mums also talking about getting a tent so we can go away at weekends so if your out camping with your Mum maybe we can all camp together.

Mum just has to find a tent big enough coz she says she isn't squashing into a little thing and it has to be on a camp site so she can plug in the telly and her hair dryer. (not sure she's cut out for this camping lark). I have to start being a bit nicer to other dogs though if we go on a camp site as she tells me lots of people camp with their dogs.

In 4 weeks I go on my hols to the cottage Mum has rented in Wales!!

I can't wait as now I have mastered recall Mum said I can run on the beach off my lead.

Hope to meet you dog to dog soon, all my woofs and licks Clioxx

Hi Fred, thanks for being my friend here on P.S. We all have great fun, and the humans do too! Ha Ha! It's a good job Mum taught me how to type! You have found a great home now, do you like dancing? When Mum plays Pink Floyd, "Crazy Diamond" sets me off dancing, so this is my nickname! Love Billy (Crazy Diamond) xx

Hi Fred, a big welcome to PetStreet! Love Billy xx

We have had some success today.

1) I wasn't sick in the car
2) I didn't try to rip the heads off other dogs,

One was off a lead and wouldn't stop sniffing my bum but instead of growling, snarling and foaming at the mouth I gave one small growl and walked off. There were others I completely ignored.

Mum put me on something called a harness today and that worked when I tried to pull towards other dogs as I couldn't bloody pull as hard without my front legs lifting off the floor. My eyes weren't as blood shot either after the butt sniffing dog had been dragged off me by his owner!!!!

I have always been Ok with my Mum and have never been afraid of her but I still bark at my grandad when he comes to visit. I'm fine with all other humans who I meet on the street as long as they don't make sudden movements. I cower behind Mum as I think they are going to hit me.

I know Mum gets upset when other peope think I am viscious when they see me bark at others dogs. If they saw me in the house lay on Mum like a baby while she tickles my belly they would change their mind.

Keep up the good work with your Mum. I'm sure she loves you a lot.

Doggy Beer is a hounds paradise! Pets at home mate £1 odd I think, it's good for the coat I bloomin well love it!

Hi Fred, I have just come back from my walk,we will soon be able to go down on the beach in the evening, I love running around on the sand.Do you get on the beach ?

Hiya Fred,

I know what you mean about other dogs. Im OK with people but other dogs just scare me to death. I react by pulling towards them and growling at them. I let some get close to me and sniff me for a few seconds but if they hang about too long I will bark at them.

Luckily my owner has me on a lead and can pull me away. She thinks I may bite but I am just showing them who is boss.

My owner has noticed that I can ignore other dogs if I am in a starnge place with more exciting things to look and sniff at and she is trying to help me overcome my fear of dogs.

Read my blog on my page for more about me but I would like to be your friend and our owners may be able to swap tips on how to help us be more brave.

Hi Fred! You sound a lot like me on the energy front! You look like you have a great life you should drop over to Brecon sometime if you like mountains, I love it up there! Thanks for adding me as a friend!
