Yep. Mum brought home a new dog. His name is Kipper, he's a border collie, and he's 15 years old. I mean, come on Mum, if you're going to get another dog, does it have to be another old dog who doesn't want to play any decent games with me?
I don't like Kipper very much... he snaps and growls at me and his manners are TERRIBLE. But Mum says I have to be patient with him, because he's blind and his old family didn't want him anymore, so he got left at the pound. Which isn't a very nice thing to do. He used to have a best friend with his old family too, so Mum says it's hard for him to get used to me and Zeke at his age. So, I'm being patient. He's okay really I suppose. He and Zeke get along okay, but they would. They're both old and boring!
Anyway, Summer is really hitting in full force here, and it is HOT. Mum and I still have adventures, but they're a lot slower. Plus, Mum brings me along a spray bottle to cool me down, which is actually pretty fun!
Riverway is a nice place to be in Summer... I think it would be more fun if Mum let me swim in the river though!
We also went to the Strand on Christmas Eve, which was fun, except...

| "Ah, Mum? You do realize we're in public, right?" |
 |
| "You realize people can SEE ME, right?" |
But I suppose it was all fair... because Mum wore a Christmas hat too. The next day I got a Christmas present, which was my very own Darth Vader toy to destroy! I hope everyone got presents that excellent.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, where most humans are very silly and drink lots and make lots of noises. Mum and Dad stayed home though and cooked this really delicious pork roast. I got scraps, which seems like a pretty great way to begin a new year to me!
