Well, after my adventure last Saturday I have had a quieter week. Sunday didn't do much, just rooted round my favourite haunts; the shore, the quarry, the village.

On Monday I am ashamed to say I was a very baa-d boy. Yes, folks, they got the better of my - I ran after the sheep. Now you all think it is because that's what dogs do, but I understand what they are saying - and I wasn't taking cheek like that off a load of balls of wool with legs. However, I got a severe row from my Mum and now I am being kept on the lead when any of them are about - which only makes them laugh at me all the more. I really don't know what got into me - it was like a white mist descending on me and before I knew it I was running. Am now going to adopt the 'I can't see you' attitude whenever they are around.

Tuesday I was walked to and from the shop on the lead which I really minded because I like to explore as I go along the island. She doesn't understand that a dog has needs as well. I suppose it was because of the incident yesterday. I don't know how she is going to trust me again - I will just have to prove what a good boy I can be.

Wednesday was great - I got to go with Dad to work because she was in Oban for the day. It was great, I got to stay in the workshop with him and watch what he was doing. In fact I think I could probably repair decks on boats by myself now but he doesn't seem to want to trust me with the drill. Doesn't he know that I am nearly 21 when converting from dog to human years. I should be nearly out of my apprenticeship by now. Anyway, we had a grand time me and Dad without any silly females to upset the balance. When we got back home we went out for a walk and I took my frisbee with me. Now I have to tell you I am rather good on the old frisbee - I put my front paws into it and scoot along the ground. I managed to go from the old ruin behind our house right along to where the land starts going uphill. I even aquaplaned through a variety of puddles. The poor humans really do seem to think it is amusing to watch. I then took the frisbee down to the sea to slide into the water. Then the unspeakable happened, a blooming big wave came and took it out to sea. I tried to swim out and get it but then an even bigger wave rolled me over and I had to run back to the shore. I was really sorry to see my favourite yellow frisbee disappear. Don't know what I am going to play with now...

Thursday, Dad didn't go over to Balvicar today so I was able to supervise goings on in his shed. It is great when he is here because I get loads more walks. However, I did get a great present from my Mum. When we went to the shop she bought me a new frisbee - to replace my loss of yesterday. This one is green and already has plenty of teeth marks in it. Tested it for scoot-ability and it works like a dream. Will try not to lose it in the sea this time!

Friday and Saturday have been wet days which really depress me. The humans just don't seem to want to go out an play as much. Saturday morning I thought it would be good to have a game of hide and seek with Dad. He took me out just after 7:00 in the morning as usual and when we were nearly back home I decided to hide. He spent a bit of time looking for me and the next thing I know he is driving his car through the village. Told me later he had been as far as the shop and back. I was just hiding nearby and leapt out when he got home. Wanted to carry on playing but he made me go back into the house - spoilsport.

Will hopefully have a bit more to tell you all next week as I am going to be at work with Dad all week. Mum is going away again. I have to travel down to Glasgow with them in the car tomorrow as Uncle Brian is also away - what is it with these people? Don't they know how great it is to live here. Can't understand the need to keep going away. Anyway, I will try to be a good boy this week and find some entertaining adventures.
