Today our American cousins celebrate Thanksgiving, now I’m not the smartest kid on the block but I’m pretty sure Thanksgiving has got something to do with a bunch of Brits who sailed the seven seas & found safe haven in America not like our mom who thinks it’s because the Americans built Walmart for which she is very thankful………

Anyway in honour of  the holiday mom & dad let us play with the Thanksgiving turkey & yes you guessed it, she bought it in Walmart ~ here’s us giving it a good feathering !

This is my sis known as Ed’s girl, she is  today’s pin up as she’s going off to live in Minnesota in  the US

Hi everyone this is  Elle here,  it’s my solo  piccy as I’m the one that’s staying  & I’ve been unanimously  nominated to be the narrator for this motley crew !

Today mom & dad went toy shopping & I’m not sure who’s crackpot idea it was ( mom says it was dad as he’s bonkers  ! ) but they bought this weird green caterpillar thing that plays forty different tunes if you press the buttons, well Spot ( Duh ! named cuz he’s got a spot on his head ) reckons he’s a bit of a Rick Wakeman on the old keyboard & has mastered the art of playing the b*****y thing when the rest of us are trying to get a bit of shut-eye………..the pic is a few of us playing ” Name that tune ” !

ps. Sardines leave a lingering odour !

Just in case anybody missed us we have been off air for a few days as some kind soul sent Mom a nasty virus which almost wrecked her ‘puter, she was last heard muttering something about chopping off someones fingers & other assorted bits of their anatomy  !!!

As you can see we’ve grown quite a bit & are eating everything in sight, we hear words like piranhas  & gannets mentioned as the food bowls are whipped away before we eat them too & yes we are becoming a little more vocal, one of the boys is really good at yodelling, Mom has threatened to send him to the Swiss Alps to practise !

Now that you can see us again we will be posing for a lot more photos as  some of us are just big fat showoffs

What a way to spend a Birthday ~  sitting in a sauna surrounded by the family…………

Mom brought me in a special Birthday tea with a jumbone stuck in the middle just like a big brown candle, Dad said looked like  ” a big brown ……….. ”   OK let’s not go there !

I had a really horrible moment when I thought she was going to sing Happy Birthday to me….last years rendition was so moving it brought  a tear to the eye & earache for a whole week !!

Rocco came to visit ~ I suppose it came as a bit of a shock discovering your the father of nine…..Still he did manage to hang around long enough for a family portrait to bad  I was to busy demolishing the Birthday candle to join in !

Hi there this is me the one with the big mouth ! I’m 15 days old & now the fun is beginning, I can see quite well  & I can hear,  just watch me do the marathon round this box  ~  If only I could find the way outta here I’d be off exploring but I’m not quite big enough  so instead I can’t resist waking up the rest of the lazy bunch, there they all are  spark out reading the inside of their eyelids & snoring like little pigs till I decide I’ll  trample all over them to get them to shut up ~  worked like a charm & they didn’t have clue it was me !!!!!

Twelve days old & the gang are all starting to open their beady little eyes & are staggering round the whelping box like a bunch of bandy legged cowboys minus their horses,  Diva is doing a brilliant job as a first time mom keeping them all clean & tidy even though she’s fighting a losing battle, no sooner has she sorted out number nine than number one pops up for another good scrub !

You know that feeling when you are sure somebody is watching you ? well I had that feeling while I was sitting with the pups on Friday……….I looked & looked & I just knew that there was something odd going on  in the whelping box when eventually it dawned on me,  one of the gremlins was looking back at me ~ Crikey what a sight for the poor little mite to see  !
