A Gate Into A Secret Garden

I was just having a little chat with the cats in the tree when Puppynap said come on River we're going to go and get Daddy.

I wondered where he was as he went out today but he didn't go where he usually does. I think he must have been out with some friends or something and now it was time for me to go and get him in from his playtime.

We went in the car for a little bit and then Puppynap said we're here and we went through a gate into a secret garden.

Wow this is a magical land and Daddy is waiting for me down the steps...

...but first of all I'm going to have a bit of an explore around.

And then I heard some noise coming from behind a bush and went to explore and there was some sheep who wanted me to go and play with them but Puppynap said I must leave them alone and they were playing with their children.

Well in that case I'm going to have a look over here.

Wow it's very pretty and some little boys came and said hello and gave me a stroke and said I looked comfy.

I was!

Puppynap and Daddy said that near here was where Daddy was going to live during the day and that we'd be coming here a lot. There's daisies here so yes I approve!

Party Hat Time

Daddy just woke me up and said come on River it's time to put your party hat on and say Happy Birthday to The Elf.

Happy Birthday Elf, when I see you I will give you your birthday present. 

A great big kiss on your nose x

Let Me Tell You A Secret

Hooray Nadia finally came out from behind the fridge to play with me. She wanted to play with my teddy bear, she let me know by crawling all over it but Puppynap saw her and picked her up...

...and said it's time for Nadia's bath.

Oh! It's not fair we wanted to play together!

Hey Nadia, let me tell you a secret. 

If you move over there's room for me in there too!

Sleep Can Wait

I hardly even had my eyes open and Puppynap said come on River we're going out.

OK then but can I wake up first?

Then the boy and the girl came in their car and we all got in the back and snuggled up. I was still very tired and fell asleep.

But then I remembered I was in the car and when I'm in the car I can look out of the window as much as I want and I didn't want to miss a single thing. Sleep can wait!

Wow a great big tunnel. It's a lot bigger than the tunnel at the bottom of the road!

And when we all got out I remembered, I'd been here before. We were at the dog and ham market.

Come on I know the way!

What you waiting for everyone there's lot of things to see.

Look Daddy there's some people over there and they have some doggie clothes for sale, let's go and have a look!

And then Daddy took me to see some great big boxes that come from all over the world. Wow!

Daddy has said he's going to take me to lots of places in the world, I just need to get my passport first and then we're off!

Then we went to a place with lots of tables and chairs and people and I got lots of strokes.

Is it lunchtime yet?

Yes it was, I got bits of Daddy and Puppynaps special food. It was lovely

What's for after's then daddy?

The thing is after you have eaten all the food you get all tired and I just didn't think that I would be able to walk another step....

...so daddy picked me up and carried me the rest of the way. A lady behind said I was being very spoilt and laughed and Puppynap said yes River always will be spoilt.

I liked what he said.

And on the way home the best bit happened, we had the window open because it wasn't raining anymore and I was allowed to put my head out as much as I wanted. It was a brilliant day.

It Felt Like My Birthday

I was allowed to sleep on the bed with Daddy and Puppynap last night because it was a special time because when we woke up...

...it was my Daddies birthday. 

Happy Birthday Daddy x

Oh what presents have you got Daddy?

Let me take care of that paper for you!

That's BRILLIANT! What did I get you daddy?

And then I heard a car go beep beep. 

Ooh who's come to see me?

IZZY!

I wasn't expecting to see Izzy it was BRILLIANT.

We THEN said hello to each other.

IZZY! IZZY! What shall we play?

Vampire Doggies, OK then!

Ooh hello Elf, you doing Hi-Ya?

Phew that was tiring. Shall we have a little rest for a minute...

Before we go outside and play.

Come on follow me, I know a brilliant thing to do.

Look can you see Izzy, it's a brilliant thing.

No Izzy, it's the other way.

OK then let's play piggy back.

No I've an even better idea of what to play.

Everybody Conga!

*Giggles*

Yes this is so much fun.

Oh it's so lovely to see you Izzy!

Come on let's dance. 

And now let's play race!

I'm catching you up Izzy!

That was a brilliant day, it felt like my birthday!
