Good day pack,

It's been along time since I strolled along the Mediterranean with my staff, but now I am told it will be possible. I'm sure the Ducks and Moor hens really miss me. I’m so pleased it will soon be time to top up my tan!

The mask wearing and local restrictions by the 2 paws are working. But as my other doggie friends have agreed, it has been a nightmare trying to amuse the staff and keeping control of them as well as the drinks cabinet.

On the upside I get to take them out for several short walks and in the course of this meet up with my doggie neighbours. We swop lockdown tails (note joke). On one of these trips, I invariably speak to my friend Buddy, a similar rare breed to myself. We exchange pleasantries and little doggie boasts as one does. I said to Buddy “For supper, I am served chopped up egg from the speckled hen (as Male staff describes it) with biscuits”, as I recline on my cream leather sofa. “Oh and he feeds me by hand until I get to the yolk”. Buddy responded with, “I get fed by hand for my supper too and I have a fried egg for breakfast which is cooked in butter!” Now although I am not usually competitive a fried egg cooked in butter? Yum, I wonder if Male staff knows how to cook eggs Benedict? That will get me noticed by my friends.
