A'venturising with Mummy and the 'Uman

People's I've been on 'oliday. I tooks Mummy and the 'Uman to a place called York Shire Dales. It's pritty--like me--and got lumpy bits--like Jazz. It fits us.

We stayed in the collapsible house again that Mummy calls a tent, but it was a bigger one this time, and Mummy 'sembled it straight from the car. She didn't have to lug it up a blumin mountain again and let the 'Uman get frost bites--not like last time.

The house lived right next to a river, which was really, really cool, peoples. It meant that I could go and cool off from the hotness whenever I felt like it. Just climbed down the bank and went for a swim, or a paddle if I only wanted to cool off my tootsies. Mummy even dividesed a fridge in the river...sort of. She put the 'Uman's beers, some other drinks, butter and stuff in her dry bag and sealeded it up. The she tied a rope around it, tied it to a tree and dangled the bag in the river, where the water was chilly. The 'Uman called her Bear Gryhls then...I don't understand, but I wasn't going to tell the 'Uman that! 'Specially when it turned out that the 'Uman hadn't packed the right gas for the new campy cooker she had brought. Mummy had to cook right over the fire instead. Sometimes, peoples, I has to shake my head at the 'Uman.

We did a new a'venture fing this time called Gorge Walking. Now, I don't know exactly it's called this but I fink it's  because all Mummy and the 'Uman kept saying while they was walking and swimming down the river was 'Oh it's gorgeous'. So maybe it's short for Gorgeous Walking...don't know.

So the Gorgeous Walking meant we could go climbing up and down the rocks with the water falling off them.


See? Gorgeous.

On the first day, Mummy and the 'Uman came in the water in swimming cozzies. The 'Uman said that she was getting frost bites again on different places to last time and the next day they wored wetsuits for the Gorgeous Walking. Wusses. I just went in in my fur.


Mummy tooked lots--and I do mean lots--of pictures with her camera. Some are really nice, and then she took some that aren't...erm...quite so nice.

 
This is the 'Uman from underwater. Mummy was being...erm...creative.
 
So back to me. I proved my swimming championshipness by racing the 'Uman for the stick in the water. I even gaved her a head start as I am 'ceptional. I call this video 'Uman versus Merlin de First, Queen of all her lands and must be obeyed. But I gives you all permission to watch it.
 
 
I think, peoples, I have found my Olympic sport.
 
There are more photopictures of my a'venturing on my facebook page. Mummy posted them before I could get to the laptop.
 
Bye for now, peoples, more to follow. Thank you please. Merlin de First, over and out.

Peoples, I am depressed

Today peoples was my agility demo'stration and fun dog show. I had 'visioned going home wiv lots of blue rosie's on pins for being the most prittiest, wonderfullest pooch in the hole world.

It dids not go to plan, peoples.

The 'Uman judges were not 'spectful of my wonderfullness and prittiness...and they gave my blue rosie's on pins to other dogs! They have me one, single, little silly yellow rosie on a pin. I got beated for the blue rosie for prittiest eyes by not one but too puppies! It is not 'ceptable peoples! Puppies should have there own rosies to fight over--not be stealin mine!

And I was the prittiest....see picture evidence below.

Merlin de First...cheated.

Munchousen by Dogsie....part too

It was disturbing, Peoples. Very disturbing. The vet lady shook her head at the 'Uman and then 'zamined my head. She 'clared no lime's disease. No danger of head fallin off. She also 'clared 'Uman hads to buy tic-remover-fingy for future uses.

She then shook head again at the 'Uman and said no she would not pick off my scabby head 'cos it might be yucky underneath. She gave 'Uman some cream for Mummy to apply...not 'Uman's...and said it should be fine. If not she's caused me to have a lump in the top of my head for the rest of my life, Peoples.

She has ruineded my modelling career. My pritty looks is goned.

'Tis over for me.

Must look for yet another career.

I'm thinking about character acting now I is not pritty.

Yet more 'munition for me to get revenge on the 'Uman.

I have been to the Torture chamber...

Peoples I don't care how sad the 'Uman is. Her behaviour today has been unacceptable.

Unacceptable!

She took me...Merlin Bramhall (I'm dropping the Smith part from now on) de First and Jazzy Bramhall-Smith (she's got to keep it...cos I said so) to the Torture chamber.

Dese fings were the instrumnents of my abuse, Peoples!


I went in there a fine figure of a Collie. And now I look like this....



I have been scalped...pruned...de-furred!
I is practically nekid, Peoples!
It is an outrage!
I will have my revenge, Peoples.

Oh yes. *rubbing my little paws together...

Oh yes, I will have my revenge.
 
I wonder how hard it would really be to get those pictures of the 'Uman wiv pigtails afterall...
