Yet another birthday celebration!

27th March 2010

Here's me at Craigs' 40th Birthday meal.

23rd March 2010

This is me on the way to the theatre to see 'Les Miserables'.

i found a new friend

I was helped up looking at the views, but i found a new friend to travel with, she did not say much, all i know she came from Tweedsplace and she travels with her new family, the views amazing, i hope i can come back next year,

look at the views

I had a fab time looking at the views in Mid Wales at Hafod estate on one of many walks we did, the weather was excellent for March, i was lucky, i got carried around, Alfie and Bonnie was playing, Lucy and Pip just chilled out in the sun,

I have been a good bear and went to church on Sunday to prey that all gaps homeless hounds find their forever homes and the pooly hounds get better, love Scarlett.

Scarlett becomes a midwife & Valentines Day

Hello fellow Gappers,

just thought i'd update you all on what i've been up to for the last couple of weeks and phew what a couple of weeks its been!! I went to stay with George and her OH Subbo and looks like i got there in the nick of time! It seems that they had a little baby on the way and needless to say i was glad to offer my services. Here are a few piccies of the happy event, once i'd finished with the towels and boiling water.

Here I am showing George how to get on all fours bear-style on a bean bag



Blimey, this gas and air are a bit of alright!! Apparantly George wanted them back though



Ha ha, and there she is looking very attractive - note the epidural (although she reckons that didnt help too much) wonder what shes listening to on her i-pod? dont think she'll thank me for this photo actually!



Time for a quick family shot between contractions



Hurray!! After lots of screaming and words i cant repeat on here little baby Tom is born. Here he is, not even 10 minutes old




Ooh what a lucky bear i am - Valentines Day arrived. Looks like i have a secret admirer.



Finally it was time for me to leave. Goodbye to my new friend little Tom. I am very sad to leave but looking forward to my next adventure......

Hello all Gappers! HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well, I landed in Bristol on Wednesday and was introduced to the Chappell pack.

At the moment I have just woken up from a New Year's Party held in my honour..... I will post pics and diary later today....suffice to say I had a very good time!

see you later for a full and frank blog.

Love Scarlett - Bristol Bear

Keeping the Nation Safe!

Hello there

For the first half of December I went to stay with Kay and Tony and their dogs, Cleo, Flint and Ali.

Tony and Kay didn't have spare holiday to take for me, so I joined in their daily life. Here I am helping Kay deal with her emails at work:



And here I am at dog club, teaching Oscar the Sit Stay:



Then I went to help Tony at work - here I go:



Here I am manning (teddying) the comms post as Guard Commander so Tony could relax:



Setting up the day's passwords:



And finally, taking charge of the Armoured Personnel Carrier (that's tank to all you civvies!



All in all a very busy week! Kay said she slept much better knowing that I was guarding the nation that night. I was pleased to help, but very glad to be moving on to my next family for a lovely Christmas break!

Scarletts capers in Cornwall !

I have been having a wonderful time on holiday at The Lizard in Cornwall, with my new host family - Mark, Louise and Jessica. Josh, their greyhound stayed at home, but I did get to say hi before we set off. I didn't see any lizards but I did see an awful lot of fog, and a lot of sea !! Here I am enjoying the fire, and the halloween pumpkin that Jess and I carved (well I watched !)- I was very toasty by the fire, but had to move after a while as I didn't want to singe my fur!



Jessica took me to see some seals at the Gweek Seal Sanctuary - they are very good at swimming underwater, and I think this one took a particular fancy to me !!





One of the days we walked ( I rode in the rucksack !) down to Kennack Sands, and met these shetland ponies - the sign said they were wild, but they seemed very eager to say hello and to eat Louise's coat !! I kept well out of the way, and then posed for my photo from a distance !!




Doesn't this man look funny!! He was in the Falmouth Marine Museum and looked like he needed a cuddle from a teddy like me !!




Louise is going to put me back in my box now, as I'm off on my travels again and don't want to be caught up in any postal strikes !! x x x
