Autumn

We have heard that we are now into 'Autumn' whatever that means. All I know is that it is now colder each evening so we snuggle up to our owner and lay next to her on the bed so that we can keep warm.

Out in the garden it gets breezy on some days and leaves keep falling off the trees and chasing across the lawn. Max and I are kept busy running after them and jumping on them but there are really too many for us to cope with - however it is great fun and they crackle when we catch them.

As we are both good at climbing through the bushes and trees they are being pruned back so that they aren't too high. We can still enjoy clambering through the branches but we can't get too high and fall off (at least I hope not!)

We are both getting quite big now and we can't both fit on our owners knees at the same time so we try to take it in turns if we can. That doesn't always work but I tend to be quicker than Max so he often has to settle for sleeping on the back of the chair with one paw on our owner's shoulder.

We have now got a new carpet in the hall and on the stairs and Max took on the role of apprentice carpet fitter just to make sure the job was done right!
