Dey say dat toime floies when your havin' fun; Oi guess dat it must be true as today is two years since Oi came to stay with Kai and Monty. OK, so Oi turned up as a foster, but Oi had other plans as soon as I saw what it was loike. Don't be gettin' me wrong now; Oi was well looked after at de Whoite Lodge, but if we're puttin' it in human terms, it's a bit loike moving from de hostel to de Ritz if you know what Oi mean, and where would you rather stay?

So here Oi am, a permant fixture. Had me check up with de lovely Sarah last week , an she says Oi'm as fit as a fiddle; and Sam was dere at de reception - she's one of me number one fans, tinks Oi'm georgeous, so she got a kiss.

And what a day; my 2nd homecomin' day, de March Whoite Lodge Walk, and de final of de Crufts. Now tell me, who'd want to be poncin' about a ring with someone touchin' your privates, when you can out whit yer mates on a Whoite Lodge Walk? You can guess where we went.

The day started whit dad makin' de liver cake. It's one of our favourites so it is, an' we always hang around to lick de bowl and get de scraps. Today he made loads, and put extra noice tings in it - smelt and tasted grand - as I tink everyone on de walk will agree. You can find out how to make it for your hounds by clicking here; Oi'll tell you, dey'll love forever if you make dem some.

Den it was into de BeastBus to go an' meet our mates for a walk. Now here's were it nearly all went wrong; to get out of Northampton took us ages as some people had decided dey'd drive their car into de soide of another car, and den just up de road dere was another person done de same ting. So dat made us late to start with. Den on de way de road was closed so we had to go moiles and moiles, so we was really late by de time we got dere, so late in fact dat we met everyone comin' back. Still, we did meet everyone, and stopped for a chat with dem all.

Buddy's one of our best mates, and his dad often has noice tings; today was no exception, and here's Kai doin' his "Feed Me" look, whoile Buddy does a pose.

Now, in all de excoitment Oi've clean forgotten dis ladies name - if your readin' dis my dear, drop us a line an' we'll make de changes. She was one of de smallest hounds out on de walk, but she is one fiesty lass. An' will you be lookin' at dose ears? Dey're huge - loike Maples!


One Feisty Lady

So as Oi was sayin', today is me two years as Beastly Beast, and Oi've enjoyed pretty much every moment of it. De house is noice an' warm, we get de good food, and we've got each other. But Oi've lived in kennels and done my toime on de track, an' Oi know dere's still loads aren't as lucky as Oi am. And even if de kennels is noice, it's still not de same as havin' your own home. And here's a lad dat's still lookin' for his own home. Dis is Dino.


Dino

Dino's been in de kennels now for 9 months. He goes and lives with people at de weekends sometoimes, but never to stay, and Oi tink dat's really sad. And Dino's a great lad; gets a bit gobby sometoimes, but so did Oi when I taught Oi had something to prove, so Oi'm sure he'll get over dat once he has a place of his own. He loikes to walk with de humans, loikes dere little ones, and is generally an OK kind o' guy. His only fault, if you can be callin' it dat, is he's not a fan of de felines - neither are any of us to tell de truth. Anyways, if you tink dat Dino moight be de lad for you drop me a loine at our contacts page.

One of de places dat Dino goes to stay is with Sol and his mum Alsion. Sol and Kai are good mates - dey reckon it's to do wit sometink called de Ginga Power. Roight lads; not sure what was in your liver cake, but Oi tink Oi'll be givin' it a miss. Anyways, dis is Sol.

Loike Oi said earlier, Buddy's one of our best mates, and after havin' a chat with everyone, loads of sausages, pork scratchin's and liver cake Oi needed a place to rest me head, and Buddy is just de roight height.


Me and Buddy

Den it was toime for everyone to home, but we hadn't had a walk yet, so off we set. And boy was it windy at de to of Burrough Hill; blew de cobwebs roight away. Still, some people made de most of it. Some guys were havin' some great fun in dere carts on kites. Oi wonder if dey'ed let a hound have a go?

Here's us at the topscope.

So even though de journey dere made us late gettin' dere, and after de walk we were late back, Oi had a really great 2nd Homecomin' Day. 'Course, Oi hope dere's loads more to come, for me and de loikes of Dino an' de others still lookin' for dere homes.

Love and licks,
Jack
