Dear Friends

Do you remember that photo of me in the bicycle basket? Well just look at me now! I had to go to the Vet to have my kennel-cough vaccination and whilst there they weighed me. I am 33kg and growing. The vet said I will probably weigh 40kg by the time I am fully grown.

We have been doing a lot of fund-raising recently.  We had a stall at Cherry Hinton and then went to Marshall’s Centenary event. That was really good fun. You can see some photos of the other dogs and their helpers plus some pretty naff photos that Mummy tried to take of the Red Arrows.  I must be very important because I was introduced to the Mayor and Lady Mayoress and managed to leave lots of fur on their smart suits.

At Soham Pumpkin Fair I met “Mr. Pumpkin” and some firemen. I also met some people who sponsor me which was very exciting.

We went up North to help Uncle Martin celebrate his birthday.  As you can see we were having a lovely play in the garden late into the night. I won most of the time because he kept falling over!

Jess and Aimee came to play.  No it isn’t snowing;we just had great fun pulling the stuffing out of the Jumble Sale bunny slippers!

My training continues to go very well. (Oh, and I have been to the dentist and he said I have lovely teeth!)  We have been on lots of trips to town to practise stairs and doors.  I am also doing very well with Left and Right (rather better than my Mum who has to have visual aids to help her remember).

                     See you next month.         QUIN     (P.S. You can write to me via this Editor chap.)
