Ciao compagni canini..... Let me tell you a story.. Just before Christmas my humans took me on a little car journey; well I say little but really it was quite a long way!! We went to a place called Lincolnshire - I'd never heard of it before but they told me it would be nice. When we got there we met this really really nice lady called Jayne Williams.
 
Funny that; I've always said these humans aren't as smart as us canines - we go all that way to see someone called Williams when there's hundreds of them just round the corner from us.... 'cos we live in Wales you see!
When we were there I got to play for a few days with Moses. He's a 'REALLY COOL' [For 'really cool' please read 'sexy' wink wink!] Spinone boy who looks after Jayne and the other humans in her family.

I have to say he was really, really, really cool - if you know what I mean!! In fact he was really cool really often - sometimes more than once a day!! He was so cool that he was almost 'freezing'!!!!! :-)

When my humans came to fetch me I had to pretend to be pleased to see them and do all that jumping up and licking and slurping stuff that these humans like! Uuugchhh!! Don't these humans taste funny?? Must be what they eat eh??

I wouldn't have bothered 'cos I was REALLY enjoying myself but I didn't want my humans to know just how good a time I had had away from them - it might have upset them!! And anyway I knew it was only a few days till Christmas and I didn't want to miss out on my Roast Turkey dinner did I?

See what I mean about humans being a bit thick? That Christmas dinner they make so much fuss about... they only have it once a year and they're the ones who go and buy the food - If they were clever like us canines they could have it every single day of the year!!! That's 365 Christmas dinners - oh doggie heaven or what??? That'd be almost as cool as Moses!!! Oh yes... I was telling you about him wasn't I...

So, sadly, I had to say a tearful 'Arrivederci' to Moses but I hope I can get my humans to take me back to play with him again some time!! It'll be nice to see Jayne again too 'cos for a human she's really nice.

Anyway, now I'm back in Wales by the seaside - and I get to play with my 7 doggie pals at home and sometimes on the beach too! But only in the winter! Some strange thing my humans call "The B%&$&y Council" won't let us play on the beach in the summer when it's hot, but apparently they say that it's OK when the water and the weather is freezing cold - Ooops back to that thing about humans being stupid again!! Sorry I'll get off my dog-food-box now!

Also some strange things have started happening since I got back. Now us girls like to watch our weight but I just seem to be getting bigger and bigger! And my humans don't seem to mind 'cos they've started giving me all extra food and stuff and keep going on about extra vitamins and minerals and "...eating for 8 or 9 or 10..." and now they're going all soppy and gooey and cuddly and talk about me "...having teaspoons...".

Then things got even stranger. Daddy went off for the day in that 'car' thing and came back with a huge great big box that they've put in the bedroom next to where Mummy sleeps at night. They keep saying that it's for "...Spoon and her 'teaspoons' when they arrive..." What's wrong with my big soft comfortable dog bed eh? And what the hell are these 'teaspoons' they keep going on about??

My weight just keeps going up and up and I'm sure that something moved INSIDE my tummy the other day! It was a very funny feeling, but it was very nice in a sort of way too! Since that happened my humans keep sticking a thing they call a 'stethoscope' on my tummy when I'm lying down and then they all go "Aaaagggghh" Humans? Guess I'll never understand them!!!

So these 'teaspoons' the humans seem so interested in right - well apparently they're not teaspoons at all. I couldn't see it myself... all this excitement about a small metal object used to stir hot drinks - mad if you ask me!! But they are ONLY humans!

Apparently these silly humans have been referring to 'teaspoons' when what they actually mean to say is 'puppies', MY PUPPIES in fact !!! They're due to arrive about the 20th of February so I guess I'll have to wait till all this fuss is out of the way to get my figure back.

And ALL this fuss about.... some teaspoons.. Oooops PUPPIES - Ye gads these humans have even got me at it now!!!

Anyway the humans reckon that some people might want to know a bit more information about Italian Spinone's like me and my puppies... so... I've had a search about on the web - I'm doing all this at night of course when the humans weren't about - aren't those mouse things difficult to control with paws??? And I found these sites...

Kennel Club - Spinone Page

Wikipedia Spinone Page

Italian Spinone Club of Great Britain

The Southern Italian Spinone Society

Ooops watch out - the humans are up and about again....I'd better get off Daddy's laptop before he sees me....

Seems they're talking about doing a web page themselves all about my puppies!! That'll make for interesting reading!!

One day humans might almost get to be as sensible as dogs!!! What do you think I've been doing all night here on your laptop Daddy??????  Woof Woof
