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 raining now. If it keeps on raining Mummy won't take me for a walk tomorrow. I bet she won't take me. But she did get up to feed me this morning. Usually she just stays upstairs and Auntie Ysabel gives me and Sweepie our food. My mother is so lazy.

I bet she's not going to take me for a walk tomorrow...

Another dog chased me today!

He was so bouncy! I had to run away! And Auntie Ysabel and Mummy laughed at me - they laughed at me. I couldn't believe it. I told them they were both really nasty. They said I shouldn't have been hiding behind a bush because the dog was only young and he only wanted to play. Yeah, right. He wanted to eat me!

And yesterday Mummy dropped my lead! She said it fell out of her pocket and I told her she'd better not have lost it because it's my favourite. It matches my collar so it looks really cool. Lucky for her she found it again on the way home on the path. I told her not to do anything so stupid again. She listened to me.

I wasn't able to write sooner because my Auntie Ysabel was ill. She told me to stop bothering her until she was feeling better. Grumpy cow.

I met a knew man today. He lives down the road and stopped to talk to us when we were on our way back from the walk. He kept asking about Sweepie so I gave his wife a slap with my foot and that soon got their attention back on me. Fancy being more impressed by a Pug! Pugs can't do anything clever like I can. I have to tell Sweepie what to do otherwise she doesn't know how to act. Stupid people just don't understand how it works.

I'm so stressed out today. It's been a really stressful day.

First, I went for a walk and two dog chased me! One chased me while I was going to the toilet! I had to stop what I was doing and run as fast as I could. That's when the second dog came after me from the other direction. I ran around the corner and left Sweepie to deal with it.

Because of that I'm feeling a bit frightened so every time I hear a bump outside I get scared that someone's coming to door so I bark and bark to warn Mummy that someone's coming. But she just keeps telling me off! She says I'm being silly but I can't help being nervous, can I?
