Glamping with Nibbles

Glamping

You know one of the worst things that a dog has to watch?

It’s when their human packs their bag. It’s rubbish. Especially because us pups know that when that happens, they’ll definitely be away for more than one day. This happened to me on Saturday morning. My human was rushing around and I didn’t like it at all. I used my puppy dog eyes and sat in the doorway looking sad, trying to let her know that I wanted to come too.

Please take me

I think it worked! (Puppy dog eyes usually work!) As soon as she had finished packing her bag, she started on my stuff. I helped by bringing all my toys one by one. *Wag wag wag*

Let’s Go!

We jumped in the car, picked up some friends and set off on our adventure. It was called Glamping. When we got there, I was SO happy. It was PAWSOME. It was a field and a tent and a shed made of sticks, with chickens and goats and ducks.

Come closer *wag wag wag*

There were hares and rabbits and foxes, deer and pheasants and grouse too! My nose was on overdrive all weekend! Norfolk smells SO good! My human was happy too. I think she likes the fields as much as I do!

Our Tent

Most of the time I was allowed off my lead and my human said I was ‘’real good Bella’’. When I was tied up I didn’t bark too much and when I wasn’t, I didn’t run off to the animals. But it was because I had a few jobs to do. I had to constantly clear the area of rabbits and hares, and I had to fetch sticks for the fire.

Sticks for the fire

To be honest, I was easily occupied.

On watch

It was the best weekend ever. After a day of playing in the field we went home and cooked dinner on a wood burning stove that was in our tent and my human had a candle lit dinner.

Dinner Time

After that, we all went outside and watched the sunset together by the fire.

Sunset

Everyone went to bed then, except me and my human. We sat outside with only the stars and moon for company. It was pawsome. I wish we could live like this all the time.

The Mischief
Nibbles is a little toy rabbit that belongs to a class of 7 year olds and he gets to take it in turns to go home with each child. They help him write his diary with photos of what he’s been doing when he stayed with them. This weekend, one of our friend’s mancub got picked to look after Nibbles.

My human helped take lots of pictures of the mancub and Nibbles. We got our breakfast from the hens. We were allowed to go to the chickens and see if they had laid any eggs and if they had, the humans gobbled them up.
I really wanted to check out the chicken shed but oh no, Nibbles went. I had to think this through. Why was the rabbit getting all the fun?

While I was thinking about what to do, my human took another picture of Nibbles.
It looked like this.

She decided it wasn’t good enough and went to take a close up. I saw my moment. I went into stalking mode and her next picture looked like this …

My turn for fun *wag wag shakey shakey*

OOPS. *wag wag wag*

New Rules …

It’s been a good few months of cold and snow.

I LOVE cold and snow, every Mountain Dog does.

My human, on the other paw, had decided she’d had enough of the snow and the cold. So she changed her clock so that it read ‘summer time’ and it made the sun come out! I don’t know why she didn’t do it sooner – she’s been complaining for a month!

It’s not a long post today … I’ve got some new summer rules to remember.

 

The window is not a door.

It’s better outside *wag wag wag*

My 1st Birthday

Bella – 1 year old

It was my 1st Birthday on Saturday and my human arranged a pawty for me.

She baked a doggy cake the night before, with lamb and cottage cheese, parsley and more cheese, it smelt pawsome and I had to keep checking on it all night. I knew it was for me, I could just tell.

In the morning, we jumped in the car and went and got my big brother Alfie and headed to the park. When I got there, I couldn’t believe my ears. I could hear some Entlebucher roo’s and there are NEVER Entlebucher roo’s in my park, unless it’s me roo’ing.

And then I sniffed the air and knew who it was. My Brother and Sister, Eiger & Bonnie and my lil cous, Basil. He’s still a little pup and very cute It was pawsome to see them. I said a big Happy Birthday to my brother and sister. We’d all sniffed this park before except Basil, so the older one’s headed off to show Basil all the fun and talk about our humans.

First thing’s first was a bit of mischief.

Eiger and I decided to start ’round 5′ of our wrestling game, covering ourselves in mud and slobber and bashing into a few of the humans at full speed.

Eiger & Bella

Of course, I had to steal Eiger’s favourite toy.

Bella toy stealer # 1

 

You’re not a toy stealer unless you actually steal a toy at EVERY given opportunity.  It was a pawsome ball on a string. I was SUPER fast, grabbed the ball and waved it around, bashing it against me. Alfie saw EXACTLY what I’d done and I saw him coming to Eiger’s rescue, with ”that” look on his face.

Uh oh … Alfie’s going to get the ball back

 

Basil found a PAWSOME stick, he was running around like a little puppy and REALLY wanted someone to chase him.

Basil’s pawsome stick

I was going to steal that too, but Bonnie started the chase. Bonnie’s really fast and I was impressed that Basil had some Entlebucher moves already. I really wanted to gang up with Bonnie and take that stick but Bonnie reminded me that he’s only a little puppy and I should mind my manners.

Basil & Bonnie have a longest tongue competition.

 

 

The Birthday Pups … Bonnie, Me & Eiger.

 

Birthday Girl Bonnie

 

I didn’t mind too much because I’d smelt the cake and KNEW it was going to be pawsome, so I’d do a few silly things first.

Birthday Girl Bella with the cake

The cake smelt SO pawsome and everyone couldnt wait to have some, some of us were even drooling.

Bella, Alfie, Eiger, Bonnie & Basil

It was SO good. ALL of us doggies wanted more. My human was not paying attention to the cake. While we were eating, I saw Bonnie whispering to Eiger to go and see if he could get it. Eiger was running around and around, pretending to herd all the humans but I know he was after the cake really.

Bonnie whispering to Eiger to get some more birthday cake.

Now I’ve had a birthday pawty, I can honestly say they’re the BEST EVER. I can’t wait to have another one!

 

Happy Birthday To Us. (Eiger, Bonnie & Bella)
