Hi all Neo here :) What a lovely time I am having!!! Life is fun fun fun! Where to start? I am now the biggest dog in the houehold (hahaha!) and according to mum still the biggest........ baby! My favourite hobby at home is collecting things off shelves , then I take them in to the kitchen to see what mum thinks ....... she doesnt have to say a thing she just has this look and I drop whatever it is (and potter off to find something else!) Sometimes I bring in things that belong to me and when mum looks, and I drop' she laughs and says 'It's ok Neo that's yours' and I pick it up and trot off with it which is one reason mum says I can understand english :) Of course if I am really pleased with my find and it doesn't belong to me I bypass checking with mum and chew it into little shreddies in private ;) There is not a door in the house I cannot open now so I can let myself into the girls rooms and surprise them whenever I like ;) and I have watched mum and worked out how to turn the gas on on the cooker so now she has to watch me .....very closely! I have learned loads of tricks which always impresses visitors and keeps the family thinking I am amazing. I can do paw , touch , high five , bow , crawl , spin and various heel work to music moves ...I just love love love to learn things and mum has bought a new book of tricks to teach me as she had run out of ideas! Outside home I love to romp over the Downs and I also do obedience training where I have graduated to the big boys class! I have also started gundog training which is great as it involves lots of mud and fetching things. It also involves sitting still and staying while other doggies fetch things and mum says I am really really good at this .....even when someone else took my dummy instead of their own (!!!!!!!!) and when there are sheep (!) in the field. Every half hour we get to run around and play and as the new boy I get rolled over and over in the mud ...... mum says she should have named me after a rugby player! what I don't like is the bath when we get home :( but don't worry I put up a really good fight to avoid landing in the water! Well thats what I've been up to how are you guys doing? Got any tips for getting into mischief? And do you guys like to slurp all the water out of your bowls and leave a lake on the floor everytime you have a drink? I love a good slurp!

Neo :)
