New mat...

A new mat was purchased for the back door and guess who claimed it as his... :o)

Birthday Boy...

Four years old today!

Ralphs Lane...

Yesterday, Ralph bestowed the grace of his presence upon those who revere him so greatly they have named their main highway in his honour. He does enjoy the adoration of his subjects...


...then he went home.

Cartoonified...

Ralph has been cartoonified


and there's that glance in my direction...

Ralph in love?

The Sunday Roast lady next door has a Westie called Liza...Ralph and Liza snuffle at each other through the fence. There is also a pretty, pretty kitten with whom Ralph is besotted...he sits beneath her kitchen window and waits for her to appear...he's developing an unsavoury stalkerish streak.


Here, he's just keeping an eye out in case she appears...

Pattern setting in...

Ralph seems to be settling in to a particular way of life. He sits, he watches...sometimes he casts a glance in my direction...


For a bit of variation he does it outside :o)

New skills...

Today, Ralph is having a go at multi-tasking...he is sitting AND watching

Sleeping it off...

On Sunday, our lovely neighbour, Janet, gave Ralph the bone from her Sunday roast...he loved it. Unfortunately, it had consequences on Monday...in spite of much effort, Ralph was unable to produce anything and was clearly very uncomfortable and became quite distressed! Today, all is well, he is much relieved and is now sleeping happily :o) I think we may have to implement a Bone Ban...

Yesterday, Ralph tried out his new route...he approved


...and this morning, he woke to this...



...that's his Dad's car covered in snoooooooooow!!

Ralph has been for a long walk this morning and has visited all the pet shops and the vet (but just to say "Hello")...he also very kindly left them all a bundle of his Mum's card, as seen above :o)

Watching...

Ralph likes his new home...he likes to sit in the window. Today, he's watching the snow, which has just begun to fall and is getting heavier as I type.

Tiredy boy...

All unpacked and totally zonked out....bless (still smelly though!)

Smelly boy...

Ralph has had a much needed shower and smells. He doesn't smell particularly lovely, he just smells. He had a "crazy" after the shower so it wasn't possible to get a picture of him looking like a soaked rat....but there's always the next time.

Busy boy...

Ralph's been busy wrapping, packing...


and supervising :o)


...and now he's sleeping

Oh dear, Mr Fawkes...

Ralph is the mostest scaredest dog ever tonight

Busy Sunday

Having a busy, busy day...
