Unlike the other puppy students I have been to the Capital so I am feeling quite worldly. In London I have a large area in the kitchen and just outside there is a garden where all sorts of weird things are going on. One of my favourite things is the snails I chase them and catch them and then disguise the fact that there is one in my mouth.

In the morning My Dad usually gets up first and comes to rescue me from my little cage and night area. I am a true eel having saved up all that energy. He likes to carry me up to the bedroom where my Mum is just waking up and put me on the bed. Within moments I am on her face, licking her ears and not meaning to nip but she is so warm that I forget. Then I go for her hair and wiggle about so she can't catch me.

After breakfast (still not getting toast which I love) and a wild and rampant play, we go to Bishops Park along the river Thames in Fulham. It is absolutely fantastic there are so many dogs and smells and joggers and at the moment all the leaves. I am the same colour as the leaves. There is Digger who is not that interested in me except for seeing how many times he can get me to roll over on the ground. But today I met a lovely young lady just a bit older than me and even more eel like. She is a cocker spaniel and boy can she move. I must say she had the upper hand and was knocking me over and rolling me about like a bowling ball, all I could see was mud, sky, mud, sky, mud, sky and I was getting quite dizzy. Just when I stood up, whoosh she bowled me over again.

Then we met Harry Potter's Mum's dogs they are two Borders but I was still recovering from having spent so much time on the ground.

Yesterday it was sooo windy and rainy that I go put in my dad's jacket so I was the only one that didn't get wet.

They are keen on their socialisation list. In London we can tick things off at great speed, bicycles, scooters, child on scooter, prams, double prams, man with zimmer frame, black man with Walkman, Muslims on bench, recycling lorries, school children, joggers, people playing tennis. I am more keen on my own socialisation list and it's not going as well as I would like: carrots, apples, chicken, yogurt, frankfurters, sausages, cheese. I think they could spend more time expanding my repertoire of food, especially as I am thinking of being a chef when I grow up.
