It's my birthday. Yay!

It's my birthday and I'm 6 years old today. Can you believe that? Just where has the time gone? Last year I had a party. This year Ann said everyone was too busy to celebrate my birthday we'd spend all day together and go for a big long walk.

Our friend, Iain, is looking after an old little Scottie dog called Dougal. He can't walk and he's also got cancer, but Ann said he'd probably enjoy going to the beach for a bit of a sit on the sand, so we arranged to meet him down on Porty Beach.

We walked the long route to Porty because Ann wanted to make sure that I had the bestest walk ever for my birthday, with lots of off lead run about time. We went through the Hermitage, Inch Park, Craigmillar Castle Park, Little France Park, along the Old Innocent Railway and then down to the beach.

Obviously I went a bit crazy when I spotted Iain because he is one of my favourite people. I was leaping around and jumping all over him. Poor little Dougal was just sitting on the beach watching me. He's a lovely little Scottie but unfortunately he's the victim of 'puppy farming' so he's had problems with his back legs all of his life. He can't walk, so Iain had to carry him from the car and put him on the beach. He seemed to like sitting on the sand and watching the world go by.

Obviously he wasn't able to play with me so do you know what I did?.................... I dug a big hole and then I sat in it. Ann & Iain were sitting on the wall having a chat, so I thought it would be nice for Dougal to have a pal that sat with him to watch the world go by. So that is what we did for half an hour or so.
….............And then Iain popped him back in the car and we (ie Ann & I) walked to the end of the beach and then got a bus home. We've walked 9 miles today, so when we got home we both had to have a snooze for an hour or so. In fact, I'm still snoozing. I got out of bed to have my dinner about half an hour ago, because walking 9 miles is hungry work. I also got a carrot as a starter, but I'm back in bed now. Ann's just about to cook her dinner and guess what?..................... Because it's my birthday I'm going to get a little treat of human food when it's cooked. Yum, yum, yum!!

Even though I've not had a party; I've had a lovely birthday.  Happy 6th Birthday to me.
