Episode 16 – 👶 ‘Ere we go again!🍼

Me in My New Garden

I was having a great time with my brothers RJ and H. We played a lot in the garden and with my toys and I also go to go on loads of walks. One day I noticed that mum was putting on a little weight again, this was just after Christmas and so I thought it was just due to that. I know I managed to indulge in plenty of treats and snacks and so I don’t blame her. Wait a minute, I feel that I have noticed this before? What was the reason last time? I noticed mum putting on weight and then H came along a few months later……Oh No! I know what’s going on – Ahhhh! Not another brother or sister! Yes, that was right, Mum had not put on any extra weight due to Christmas, she was having another baby. I knew what to do and so became her close bodyguard and gave her company throughout.

We had a problem. Our house was not big enough for us all, especially when the new baby was to arrive. Mum and Dad searched all over, looking for a new home and then a couple of months before Mum was due to have her baby, they found their dream home not too far away from where we lived now. So that’s it, we are moving!

When all the paperwork was completed, Mum and Dad took me to see my new home….and I loved it! It had a great garden which was fenced in so that I could run around without anyone worrying about me getting out and getting lost. I ran into the garden and for the next ten minutes I ran and ran and ran around the garden at full speed! I think I am going to really like it here.

Then the day came in early September when Mum went to the hospital. I guessed what was happening as everyone was happy and not sad. Then, before you know it, everyone came home, and I had a new baby sister – Pips. We loved each other immediately. She was very small when she was born and so I had to be careful around her. I snuggled into her on the rug in the new living room. Pips had never lived in our old home as we had already moved into the new house before she was born – Just!

Me and Pips

We all settled into this house, and it became our family home. RJ, H and Pips all had their own rooms which was good, and I moved into the main bedroom with Mum and Dad (obviously) and I had my own bed next to Dad’s side of the room. However, being the best jumper in the world ever (according to me), I would jump onto the bed and sleep at the bottom of the main bed next to Dad when they weren’t looking. Mum used to complain that she couldn’t stretch out her legs if I lay at her side and so I made Dad’s side of the bed my own and made my spot on top of the duvet at the bottom of the bed. As time went by, Mum and Dad gave in trying to stop me and eventually put my own blanket in my spot.

I Claim This Spot in the Name of Mazie!

Anyway, time now to run around the garden at light speed and then take a nap on Dad’s bed!

TTFN,

Mazie

In the beginning

Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I am Mazie, I am a white and gold Shih Tzu dog, weigh 7kg and lived with my family for 16 years and 11 months (that's me in the picture). When I moved on to the other side of the rainbow bridge my dad wanted to tell my story but was too upset. So I decided to tell it for him. This is my story. I was born in the north of England in a small industrial town and had a number of brothers and sisters. When my new family first came to see me most of my brothers and sisters had already moved in with their new families. My brother, white and chocolate brown and sister, exactly the same colour as me, were the only pups left. I remember my new family coming to visit. My new mum took a like to my sister who immediately sat on her knee and gave her a huge cuddle. Me on the other hand thought that was boring and I wanted to play in the garden with my brother. I used to love winding him up, which sister doesn’t like winding their brother up! By sneaking up...

Episode 15 – 🥽Anyone for a swim!💦

Me chilling in the summer sun I love the summer: Long, hot days (not too hot as my fur coat keeps me rather warm) long plays in the garden, trips to the beach, rides in the car and generally having great fun with my family. During these summer days I would play in the garden with Dad, RJ and now H as he is a little older. My favourite games are playing with long dog although he does get covered in grass after playing outside, and small squidgy balls (just the right size to fit in my mouth). Dad did try me with a tennis ball as I saw a lot of other dogs playing with these on the beach. There was a device that this ball fixed into and then this was flicked in a fast semi-circular motion which launched the tennis ball for what seemed to be miles. The other larger dogs on the beach loved this. Unfortunately for my delicately small mouth, the tennis ball was far too big for me and so this toy was a non-starter. One of my best games was playing with small stones: they were just the right siz...

Episode 4 – Life’s a Beach

Mum and dad took me to the beach today. This was the first time I have seen the sea. The spot we went to was about 30 minutes’ drive from our house. Mum tells me that this was the favourite place for Millie and so I’m so excited to see this as if Millie likes this place, it must be good. We parked the car and walked along a sea front promenade for a while and then dad took me down a set on concrete stairs onto the beach. Wow I love it! The feeling of the sand in my paws was tickly but nice and the side of the beach nearest to the walkway was full of stones and pebbles – my favourite toys. Dad kept me on the extended lead for a while as there were other dogs the beach then we found a location where we had the beach to ourselves, and he let me off the lead. I ran and ran and ran….and ran some more. Dad chased me and I chased dad, he threw pebbles for me to fetch and it was the first of what became many special moments on that beach. After a while dad walked towards the sea and I followed...
