My name is Martha. I am a nine-year-old Old English Sheepdog who lives in South Wales. This year I moved house for the first time; I no longer live my grandparents and I miss them quite a lot. I have a heart murmur and a crumbling spine so I have to take lots of tablets, which make me feel young again.

I have a Mummy who is a bit silly, an Auntie Ysabel who helps me make this site, a Cousin Sweepie who's a Pug, and, an Uncle Ray who I hope to marry one day.

I spend my days looking out of the front window watching people walk by, playing with plastic bottles, and teaching Sweepie about life. I love going down the beach and long walks when the weather's cool enough. I hate being brushed and I think I have my own unique style.

I started this blog in December 2004 but had a break from it at the end of 2006. This was because my life had changed a lot after Madge, my Pug cousin, had babies and I helped her to raise them. I didn't think I'd want to blog again but now I want to share my new grown-up life, in my new home.

Thanks to my Auntie Ysabel who made me this website and who helps me to write in it. Blogger that helps manage the site. Photobucket that hosts any additional photos posted.

It's been so warm this last week that Mummy and Auntie Ysabel have taken me for a walk every evening. And they're really long walks, too, which are my favourite kind.

On Thursday I met some cows. I tried to tell Mummy and Auntie Ysabel that there was something in the hedge with the cows but they didn't believe me. They were too busy talking. Then I met a tractor that nearly ran me over! Then I met another dog also going for a walk. She was nice but I was a bit frightened and tried to dance into the main road, knocking Auntie Ysabel into the road in the process, so Mummy had to tell me to behave. I thought it was funny.

I didn't go for a long walk last night, though, cos they all had a BBQ instead and sat outside all night. I want to go for a long walk today but it's a Saturday and Mummy and Auntie Ysabel never take me for a long walk on a Saturday. But they haven't gone to the rugby today so I'm hoping I might get one later. If not, Auntie Ysabel promised me a really long walk on Sunday to make up for it.

But Auntie Ysabel has her loud music on today and I don't like it. Areau and Madge went out with Grandma and Granddad but I'm stuck at home. So I'm pouting.
