It’s been such a long time since ‘she’ has given me Basil’s Blog airtime, so while she's been gallivanting at one of her bestie’s weddings, I’ve been kicking back at chez Grandparents’, crafting a whistle-stop tour post of my action-packed life of late. Here’s an insight into my life as a not-so-average Boston Terrier …
Our chief reviewer and roving re-pawter Basil Barkarama celebrates his first birthday today so things are pretty exciting at Barkarama HQ today. For us, it seems like only yesterday since we brought him home, pup-in-arms and we can’t imagine life without his lively, little fun self.
At the beginning of 2013 we set out details of Basil Barkarama’s Doggy Bucket List – a 50-strong list of things he should do in his lifetime. Our efforts have been fairly relaxed to date – he’s only managed one so far (cheer up your owner when they are down) but we are pleased to report that he has ticked off a further three so only 46 more to go.
Young pup Basil is forever by my side but with an important funeral to attend, and without a dog-sitter to call on, what to do? Thankfully my parents came good with a suggestion – their local doggy daycare centre a.k.a. crèche for canines. However, I wasn’t going to let Basil go to any old place; my parents were sent to vet the place. Thankfully, they reported back that Trendy Pooches Doggy Daycare in the Wirral was a suitable play-date location for their beloved grand-pup.
Firstly let us wish you a Happy New Year. We hope you had as great a break as we did with our pup Basil, who’s pictured above posing with our joint Christmas haul - bit a of a doggy theme this year as you can see. We’ve only had him for five weeks but it’s hard to imagine life without our little ‘American Gent’. Anyway that's enough gushing for one post, there's a shiny, New Year to address.
