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 today so no walk. Why my mother insists on making it rain I'll never know. Stupid Mummy.

Last night I did something naughty... I sucked Uncle Ray's toe! He told me off but I thought it was very funny. I love my Uncle Ray...

Today it's raining, which means I won't go for a walk. I could blame Mummy but that wouldn't be true - it's me who doesn't like walking in the rain. But I did go out in the garden this morning to help Mummy get Chicken out of her coop, and then, when we came back inside the house - this is so funny - I shook all the rain off me and it went all over Mummy and Auntie Ysabel and they screamed. Oh it was funny. I did make myself laugh.

I'm very annoyed at the moment. Everyone's getting on my nerves.

It's raining all the time, which means I can't go for a walk; Mummy is always on the computer; Uncle Ray doesn't play games with me anymore; and Auntie Ysabel is always out. Now Madge has come into season, as well, which always confuses me because everything feels different and I don't really understand why. So I've been arguing with all the dogs and then having a row off Mummy or Grandma for being so grumpy and naughty.

I don't like this week at all.
