Waiting for the Turkey

I am glad we don't have Turkey every day, it takes an awful long time to cook. I have been waiting for hours with my antlers on. I don't understand why the cats do not have to wear hats too.

Santa's Little Helper

Apparently if I didn't wear this " pixie " hat Santa Paws wouldn't bring me any bones or toys for Christmas. I did my best not to eat the mince pie we left out for him but I did sneak a bit of carrot. I didn't think the Reindeer would mind. I am sure they get more than enough anyway.

The Biggest Bone Ever

I think this is definitely going to be the " best day ever" you should see how the big the bone is that the nice man from Fetch has just bought me, it must be from an elephant it is sooooo big.

A time for reflection.

Me and Dad earlier in the year on Coniston, well technically not on it but next to it. A sad week for my dad this week so a time for reflection and thinking, gosh I am growing up.

This is my best toy ever ...........

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone, apparently the cats have something special in mind for me tonight. Not sure if this is a good thing.

Mud Glorious Mud

I just spent a week with my Aunty Sarah, I like her lots because she lets me play in the mud.

Birthday Boy

Yes, yesterday was definitely the " Best Day Ever ! " it was my 1st Birthday. I got a cake and got to play out with all of my friends at the 4 "0" Clock Club.

Bailey's Nitie Nite

Yes, it is true they really do make these Barking Heads Bailey Bites - Nitie Nite Dog Treats. He gets one every night when he goes to bed.

Posing in the Lake District

This week saw the first day of Autumn apparently, so I got taken to the Lake District. Here I am posing on a rock on Coniston for some reason or another, I wasn't really bothered why as long as I got a biscuit afterwards.

My Best Friend

I thought this week you could have a change from a picture of me, instead this is my best mate Casper. He is nineteen in human years which is apparently really really old in cat years. He keeps me company at night and I enjoy eating his left overs.

11 Eleven Months Old

There is nothing quite like a good stick.

There is nothing quite like a good stick, and this one is the best one ever.

Bailey and the Singing Ringing Tree

We are going our best to educate Bailey. This weeks school trip was to visit one of the four Panopticons in Burnley. The Singing Ringing Tree is a wind powered sound sculpture resembling a tree set in the landscape of the Pennines.

Meet my friend Ted.

10 Months Old Today

10 months old today and growing up fast.

No dogs allowed

Poor Bailey he certainly didn't have the best day ever. We took him to Southport for a run on the beach only to find dogs are no longer allowed on the beach between May and September

Ee, by gum

I went to Yorkshire for the first time where they talk really funny and to somewhere called the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Dad tried to give me a lesson in modern art but I found the sheep poo more interesting. I then got another lesson on how bad it was to eat sheep poo.

Posing for the camera.

Nine Months Old

Nine months old this week, Bailey in full flow on the front path.

Check out the ears !

One man, a stick and his dog on the shores of Coniston, nine months old and the ears are still going strong.

Mud Glorious Mud

A week at aunty Sarah's house of fun meant this was the best week ever. Maddie, Dolly and lots of mud !

Best in Show

I won my first ever " Best in Show" in a competition in America. It was of course my virtual self as I never actually left home. I wonder if I will get a rosette or even better a sausage.

Bird Food

Apparently jumping up to get the bread off the bird feeder is another thing I shouldn't do either along with eating any seed off the bird table.

No Ball Games

This is my dad trying to explain to me the sign " No Ball Games"  at seven moths old you would think he would know that I can actually read a sign with rather large letters.

Afternoon Tea

I had my first ever afternoon tea at Green's in Grasmere, which turned out to be a sausage. Perhaps that is what they call a sausage in Cumbria.

The sun is shinning.

The sun is shinning and it is going to be the best day ever !

Eight Months Old

I am eight months old, so my dad took lots of pictures of me after I has another bath, can't remember what I rolled in this time but it smelt great to me.

Hissing Sid

The cat called Willow seems to hate me the most, she gets very jealous if my new mum strokes me and starts the hissing Sid routine again.

The Wall

I learned to jump the wall in our garden, apparently it's another thing I shouldn't do along with eating the bird food on the table on the other side of the wall.

Not the best day ever......

Today wasn't really the best ever. I went to the vets,the people there all seemed very friendly and I was ever so well behaved I didn't understand why all the other animals didn't want to be their. Then I fell asleep and woke up with a silly pink hat on !

Max and Lola

My friend Max came to play,

we where having a splendid time on the field. everything was going well

until I got distracted when Lola the Cocapoo and her amazing Frizbee arrived. No wonder I liked her it turns out we both have the same dad Trevor the poodle. It is a small world and it looks like Trevor is a bit of a lad and gets around a quite a bit.

Casper

T
he male of the cats animals has stopped hissing at me and seems OK. He is called Casper which I think is quite a cool name. Although he doesn't think we should be seen kissing opening in public and trying to wash him is strictly a no no !

Mud Glorious Mud

 I went of to stay at Aunty Sarah's house of fun for a day whilst mum and dad went for some respite care. She lets me play in mud and everything it's simply been the best day ever !

Fox Poo

I learned that it is very bad to eat cat poo from the cat litter tray and later in the day apparently it is even worse to roll in fox poo. I thought I was clever since I remembered not to eat it and my mates at the four o clock club thought I smelled great. My dad wasn't too pleased and I had to stand in the bath for a long time but on the bright side drying myself on a towel is really fun.

Late

My dad was late for the four o clock club so I found some fox poo to eat, it made me rather sick all that night but I was back to normal the day after.

The four "O" Clock Club

 I met the four o'clock club and made lots more new friends. They have a great big field, lots of toys and you can run for miles and miles and miles, then I eventually hear my dad call and I have to go back home to the "hissing sids".

At the Beach

My first day out and my mum and dad took me to the beach. I had never seen sand and seawater before, simply heaven. I ran for miles and miles and made my first new friend, Archie the Shih Tzu.

Bailey the Dog - Today I had the best day ever……

    Hello, my name is Bailey and as you can see I am a dog. But not just any dog I am a Labradoodle my dad was a Poodle called Trevor and my mum was a Golden Labrador. I was apparently too much to cope with my first owners so I went to live in the country with a new mum and dad and three animals called " Cats " who don't like me staring at them and seem to talk in hisses.
