Hiya all

I bet you had given up on me. Thought I wasn't going to put paw to keyboard again. Well, sorry about that. I have just had such a busy time. But now I am away on my holidays for a few days.

We left Cullipool last evening to anchor just up the coast a few miles. We had a nice peaceful night (thank goodness as I don't like the waves much). Then this morning we set off again and we are now anchored in Loch Aline, looking over towards Mull.

Dad took me ashore a bit earlier and then I swam back to the boat - it was great being in the water as I was getting very hot on land. Then I had a leisurely nap on board the boat before tea. Just a perfect day.

I will try and blog when I can and let you know what adventures I get up to. Have had a busy time on the island before we left for holidays. Mum was away quite a lot so Dad and I had a great time doing the things we like (and watching what we like on telly). I have been a good boy for Dad just to show him how much I love being with him.

So, it's off ashore again now for a bit of a run around and to get rid of some of the water I have been drinking all afternoon! Dad is just getting his warpaint on (he puts on some cream to stop the midgies biting - well at least that's what he says but I reckon he is trying to hold back his youthful good looks!) I am sure he loves the fact that he has to keep rowing me ashore. It keeps him fit!

Hopefully I will get a piggies ear when I get back if I am good on this walk. Just hope I don't see any wildlife like hares or rabbits - I just can't help but run along with them!

Will try and get some piccies done whilst I am away and show you some of the sights.

Hello again - still on my holidays. So far we have spent a couple of days in Loch Aline where the weather was just perfect. I had a great time running back and forward in the water. I have to admit I was doing races with a few cheeky birdies who kept flying by me, but they always win!

Yesterday we moved up to Loch Drumbuie which is further up the Sound of Mull. First though we made a quick stop in Tobermory for water (and the humans had some fish and chips). Mum said she went to the butcher to try and get a bone for me but they didnt' have any so we will have to try again.

When I went ashore yesterday with Dad I brought some friends back with me - ticks!!! They were everywhere. Dad had to thoroughly inspect me and remove the little blighters. I even have my special anti-tick stuff on and that didn't stop them. We went ashore again today and I brought another load back with me, so we are moving back down the Sound to Loch Aline again.

I am much calmer today on the waves even though the weather is bad and the boat is jumping up and down a bit. Mum and Dad asked the vet if there was anything that would make me feel a bit better on the boat and she gave me some pills. This is the first day I have tried them but, as you can see, I am able to write my blog and not quivering under the bunk. So thanks Mrs Vet (even though you put on my record that I am a complete nutter!).

So that's all for now folks. Hope to write again soon to tell you where we have got to. Can't put any photos on yet - daft old bat forgot to bring the lead to get the photos onto the laptop! Honestly Humans!!!
