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.

Today it snowed!

I woke up early and went for a walk down the road with Granddad. Then, after playing for ages in the garden with Grandma and Granddad, Mummy and Auntie Ysabel took me, Areau and Madge up the road. I had so much fun. I got snow boots, though, and so Mummy had to soak my feet in warm water.

After lunch Auntie Ysabel took us out again but she was playing in the garden and I didn't understand what she was doing. I played a bit with Cordi and then we went inside again.

Now I'm freezing but it was so much fun. I love it when it snows!

Here's a photo album that Mummy and Auntie Ysabel made of the day: VIEW PICTURES

Over the weekend I had to go to the kennels with Areau and Madge. I hated it there. I've only ever been once before. I don't ever want to go again. I told Mummy off when I got home again. And I ran up the drive to see Mr Guilford to tell him I was back.

I was very tired when I got home and slept for hours.

Today, Auntie Ysabel dropped a pot of honey and wiped some on my head and nose! I don't like honey at all so I was not happy. And Mummy isn't happy either because she says I smell funny now!

Mummy took my picture yesterday so here is my new hair cut:

I had my hair cut at the groomers on Saturday. I think I look very silly and Grandma keeps laughing at me.

I'll post pictures once Mummy can be bothered to take them!

Everyone came home again on Monday. Grandma, Granddad, Areau and Madge - I was so happy to see them all. Then I remembered that I get less attention when they're all here.

We've all been poorly since they got home. So last night Grandma injected us all with medicine. It hurt so much. I didn't like it at all. I tried to make her stop but Mummy held me in place. It really hurt. But we're all feeling much better again now.

It's been raining all week and I don't like the rain. When it rains I usually turn for home early when we go for the walk. I wish it would stop raining just when I go for the walk so that I can still splash in the puddles.
