Well May is here and Mum is busier than ever! Seems spring cleaning can also mean getting rid of your old boxer! Mum says she is busier than ever, but then she is always saying that! Mind you, she has been running around with the phone a lot these days, so I guess I had better believe her!
I did manage to make her take me out for a day earlier this month and we headed off to the Forres Theme Day. Mum took “Brian” her new S-Cargo van and she got a lot of attention! I stayed around the snail for a little while, but to be honest, it was cramping my style, so I went back and sat with George in the shade. Mum kept Trevor with her and he got lots of attention too! Lots of people wanted to come and see him because he was white, don’t know why though, he is hardly special! In fact, he is never really white at home because he gets in to too much trouble! He is normally black from oil or red from strawberries! Honestly, you would never get me behaving in such a way! Anyway, lots of people were asking lots of questions and Auntie Karen came along with Sasha and Tizzy too, so all three of them were showing off how wonderful boxers are, while I looked after Dad.
Mum brought lots of people over to see me with Dad and someone from the show even came to take our photograph. I think they should have waited until I was facing the camera though, they didnt get my best side! Everyone was really pleased to meet me (not Trevor!) and Mum said that we raised £140 on the day, just by me being gorgeous!
It’s a good job that we raised those extra few pounds as Mum was telling me about poor Marley who has to have his leg amputated. Mum said that he fractured is femathing when he was little and now has to have it taken off, because he is in pain and can’t use it. I hope his operation is ok. Mum said that his story is on the website and that he will have a blog too, to talk about his surgery. I don’t know if I want another boxer having a blog on MY website, but seeing as Marley is going through so much, I suppose I can let him.
Mum said that she is hoping lots of people will help and give more money for Marley’s operation because we don’t have a lot spare. I wish I could help get some of these other poor boxers a home, because then we wouldn’t have to worry about all those expensive kennelling bills, but Mum says no-one wants the older boxers. I think that’s silly! Auntie Karen says her Sasha is a big energetic lump and she is 6 1/2. I agree with her, Sasha has outrun me chasing for sticks ( but that’s because I wasn’t trying very hard and wanted to let her win-shhhh).
Right, I have just seen Trevor sneak on to the worktop and grab the strawberries, so I am off for a snack! Save some for me Trevor!!!
