Sunvalley System Addict
‘Polly’ She visited friends down on the south coast a few years ago, and liked it so much, she decided to retire down there. The sea air obviously agrees with her! (See Polly's Diary below) |

We thought you'd like to see how well she has settled into her new home
and environment, so we asked her to keep a diary.
Polly's Diary
- Part One - Life's a Beach
Everyone wants to retire down by the seaside, and I am certainly no exception. Have found a real home-from-home with a lovely family, right by the beach! They have an ancient cat (she's 21, or probably 105 in cat years - which is pretty old!) They wondered at first whether the cat and I would get along, but they didn't have to worry! She's like having a hot-water bottle inside a furry cover, and she comes in really handy for wiping my chops on after I've eaten my dinner. Cool cat! This is a photo of the ancient cat, just in case you don't believe me. And I still don't understand why she's allowed on the table, and I have to sit on the floor! Hmmm ........ |
|
Every morning I have a
gallop along the beach, dodging the waves, which are sometimes really huge
- and trying to pick up pebbles before they disappear under the foam
again. I've made some new friends down on the beach: a couple
of Boxer girls, just like me, and a black Labrador. I do seem
to attract black Labradors, because I am currently having great fun with another
one called Jed; but my owner says that it can only end in tears, because it's
merely a summer romance: Jed's owners are only down here for a couple of
weeks on the caravan site. Jed is besotted with me, and will just
sit and stare at me adoringly - well, I can't help it, can I? PS: We've had harsh words today - he was trying to push the boundaries, and I'm not that kind of girl!! |
This is me bobbing for pebbles on one of my morning beach walks. One time, a huge wave got me before I could get out of the way, and I was soaked through. My Dad thought it was very funny, and laughed his head off! |
And sometimes we go for walks
around the Marina, |
|
A very special
friend of the family, a famous actress no less, has come all the way
from Germany just to meet me! She's very nice, and I think she likes
me, too! My Dad says
I'll be able to swap make-up tips with her - but I can't really imagine she
wears chalk and coat gloss, and has her whiskers trimmed, but I guess it takes all
sorts! This is me with the famous German actress - she gave me her autograph, and I gave her a big lick!! |
||
She also gave me some tips on
getting my beauty sleep, and here I am, getting more beautiful, in my
favourite Burberry designer bed. and do you know what? He's absolutely right!! |
||
The weather has been incredibly mild for this time of year, and we had our last barbecue out in the garden. I was told to sit and watch that the meat doesn't burn, and I did ......... But how come I'm always the last one to be served? Even the ancient cat gets hers before me. (OK - I know she's a lot older than me - and age goes before beauty - but nevertheless!! ) |
||
Polly's Adventures in Brighton We were all off to do some Christmas shopping in Brighton and my Dad had ordered a stretch limousine to collect us which was pretty cool ..... |
||
..... but I must admit to being a tad disappointed that it wasn't pink! But never mind, a girl can't have everything. As we swept away, my Dad slid open the window, so I could grace the neighbours with my best regal look! |
||
Princess Polly's off to Brighton to do some sightseeing - |
So this is Brighton ...... no wonder we live in
Eastbourne!! |
|
This apparently is the 'ROYAL' PAVILLION - now this sounds more the thing ..... but, can you believe it ..? NO DOGS ALLOWED! ... not even ME!! |
Never mind, I can live with that - at least they have a Pavilion Shop which looks very nice .. but hang on .... it's full of tacky 'human' Christmas stuff! Not a dog biscuit in sight!! |
|
Well, we've done a lot of
walking and sightseeing, and they promised me an
ice-cream cone ... but how on earth am I
supposed to carry this back to the limo? |
||
At last, it's time for some serious doggy Christmas shopping! Oh, NO! We're too late! The shop has closed for the Christmas holidays, and I did SO want that little red coat in the window! Never mind, perhaps Santa will bring me something special. I've been a VERY GOOD GIRL this year - just ask my Dad! |
