Hi Mum,

Jill has been pretty busy these days so I have not been able to post any of my news here. BUT... it is so cold today Jill has put the heater on in the lounge, let me in for a sleep on the floor, oh on a cosy rug and I am justso spoilt.

So it is about a month and a half since I moved here, golly it seems so much longer than that. I have really settled in so well and do feel very comfortable in my new home.

What a great surprise to see you, just loved the gift of the lamb shank too. It was just so yummy, sorry I did not pay too much attention to you after getting the shank, but you understand how it is when food is around! And to see Taylor and ............. oops Jill is having one of them old timers moments. I do miss seeing you all, you must come and visit again soon. It was fun to see them playing and going through my doggy door. It is amazing how the little ones love doggy doors!

As you know I do love the water. Well Jill took me for a long walk to the hill recently and then on the other side of the hill I looked down and what did I see but wonderful, cold wet water!!! The canal opening to the lake was just so inviting, but first I acted as if I was not interested coz I did not know if I was allowed to jump in! So I casually walked down to the "little" beach area first, not much water there, but I got my feet wet. Then as we walked on further, I made my way to the edge of the canal and then before Jill could say anything I stepped into the water, the rocks are a bit hard to walk on, then I was in... It was a bit cold so I was only in the water for a couple of seconds. Jill did not say anything, so I went in again a bit further along. I did not want to be too enthusiastic, but when we turned around and headed for the mouth of the lake, I once again could not resist going into the water another couple of times! I came home very wet but enjoyable..

Here are some more pics of me for you to look at.
