Wow! What a time it's been! Mummy got a facebook account towards the end of last year, and has been spending a lot of time of it talking to other people (am I not enough company for her?), so it's been difficult to wrest the keyboard from her to write up my blog. But she's asleep on the sofa right now, so I'm grabbing my chance!

I've grown quite a bit since my last blog - I even discovered boys for 3 weeks last August! I kept Mummy up for at least 3 days straight because I felt very strange and didn't want to be left alone with all the mad hormones! I found a boyfriend who lived over the fence behind our house. Mummy says that she looked out the window while washing up and saw me coquettishly running around in circles kicking my heels up in the air every so often and giggling like a schoolgirl, but I think she's exaggerating. He promised me the moon... After that, I wasn't allowed anywhere outside the house without a chaperone - I felt quite medieval going everywhere with a duenna!

I spent my first christmas with my scary great-great-aunt and Grampa - we took 'Bella with us and she talked a lot during the journey, but only conversationally! In order to protect her from Great-great-aunt Dotti (who is quite the rat and cat catcher), 'Bella had to stay in Mummy & Daddy's room - no fair! I wasn't allowed to stay with them - I had to stay with GGA Dotti in the kitchen - Eeeeek! But I am a clever Tiggy and worked out how to open all the doors in Grampa's house - Haha! It may be noisy, but I get through in the end! I spent my first new year with the other grandparents, but because they don't have a dog, and their kitchen wasn't necessarily dog-friendly, I had to sleep in my crate and I didn't like that! Maybe it was because it was a strange place or maybe I remembered something from when I visited the day I left my siblings and started on my new life, but I wasn't going to be left alooooone! In the end Mummy & Daddy slept in the kitchen with me so that everyone else could get some sleep - I liked having them so close!

Since coming home, because I dribbled on the kitchen gate and broke through, there's nothing to stop me from sleeping in the bedroom with them - 'Bella wasn't happy at first and I didn't see why I couldn't sleep on the bed like 'Bella does, but I know my place now and am quite happy to settle down and let 'Bella cuddle up beside Mummy - as long as we're all together!
