Eight things about me?

Ernest has tagged me!

I am not sure that I can count up to eight before I fall asleep! (it is all those sheep and my inner sheep dog you know)

1. I was born a Basset but was reared as a Lurcher. Confusing? You should see it from where I am! I am sometimes a Basset and sometimes a Lurcher and now I think I might be a sheep dog!

2. I was signed on as Ships Watchdog on a voyage from England to the Falkland Islands. I met King Neptune. He reprimanded me for sleeping on watch, eating the Christmas decorations off the Christmas tree, stealing and chewing the crew's footwear and using the Officers Saloon for a toilet! (for a full description of this memorable meeting see 'I am all at sea part 3' in January)

3. My favorite things are sleeping, walks, food, my Dad, walks, foster Mum and Dad, sleeping, Luca, sleeping, Jazz, anybody who takes me for a walk, Joan and Marmite sandwiches, sleeping, SUMD's, food, sleeping, food, sleeeeeeee...............zzzzzzzzzzz

4. I am a tourist attraction in the Falklands: The tour guides point me out on bus tours. My dad thought that the tourists were looking at him but I put him straight about that.

5. I have been in trouble for chewing things: Remote controls, magazines, cushions, shoes, socks, in fact anything that takes my fancy! I was in real trouble for leaving my Dad's IPAC outside in the rain! (That is the Basset way!)

6. I am fixated on food. I have yet to find food that I dislike but I am working on it. (That is also the Basset way!)

7. I like going to the VETs! Every other dog tells me that this is wrong, but I love Jo and Sarah and will walk through fire to see them.

8. I think I should be Governor of the Falkland Islands and I do not have a tattoo.


I think I will go and have a lie-down............
