Hello, Milly here!
I've nearly been living with Sarah and Nicky for a whole year! I keep reminding them of this because it makes them say things like "we couldn't remember life without you!" and then they cuddle me and give me yummy treats. It's tough being this adorable...
Loads has happened since my last update:
My mums are now married! (I don't really know what that means, except that lots of fancy photos have appeared on the walls with Nicky in a white dress, and people keep visiting us to look at them. I don't know why they're so excited, I'm not in any of the pictures.)
We went on our first family holiday, to the Isle of Wight. We had to travel on several trains, a boat and lots of buses to get to our holiday house and to get around the island. I was very good, and was a bus pro by the time we came home! I also got to go to the beach, and was welcomed into anywhere that Nicky and Sarah went to eat. That was amazing and exactly how life should be! I particularly liked the cream teas.
Christmas! I got my own stocking full of delicious treats and fun new toys, and all the family came to visit me, play with me and feed me things. I love Christmas! I'm going to ask Nicky and Sarah if we can have Christmas again next week.

My new life so far...
I've lived with Sarah and Nicky for 4.5 months already, and have kept them far too busy to write any blog posts! It's been very exciting for me too:
- I've fallen in the canal twice
- I've given Sarah and Nicky a huge scare when I ran out of the house and up the street in pursuit of a cat, and again when I followed a scent almost onto a main road (I'm not allowed off the lead very often now...)
- I've completely destroyed two of my beds (Sarah sewed new covers for them, and I'm biding my time working out how to get at that fluffy stuffing!)
- I got a new crate to keep me safe and contained (Sarah and Nicky found out that my old crate was two sizes too small!)
- I love my dog walker Jo, who takes me out at least once a week, and always has yummy treats. She also came to stay at our house and looked after me for 2.5 weeks when Sarah and Nicky went on holiday.
- I put on 8lb eating too many yummy treats - oops! One healthy diet later and I'm already back to my beautiful normal size.
- I've met lots of new people and dogs! Nicky and Sarah call it "socialising" and try to give me as many new experiences as possible, like going to the pub and going on a train. Everyone loves me wherever we go, I'm such a socialite! As long as there are biscuits involved, I'm happy to go anywhere.
- I got a tummy infection and needed two injections and a course of antibiotics which made me feel very sorry for myself and I needed lots of cuddles. I like the vet though and get very excited when we go there!
- I'm still learning to walk nicely on the lead, but since Sarah and Nicky have introduced the Halti, I've found it a lot easier to be good.
- Sarah and Nicky have bought me lots of new toys! My favourite at the moment is a green ball that treats sometimes come out of when I roll it around. I love playing with it even when it's empty though, and often cuddle up with it in my bed!
- I loved the snow but I'm not too keen on rain, especially when we go out for walks in it! I try to run under low trees to keep dry, forgetting that there's a big person on the other end of my lead... I also hate puddles and will dance around them to avoid getting my feet wet. Yucky!
- My favourite treats are fish jerky, cheese, melon skin and pig ears, but I'll eat most things except for raw parsnip which I hate!
Such a lot to pack in a short space of time for a dog just out of puppyhood! It's nearly my 2nd birthday (Sarah and Nicky have bought me a handsome new collar so I will look fabulous for the summer), I wonder what adventures I'll get up to this year!

New Year's Eve
I had a lovely early night last night as Nicky needed to get up for work today. I like Sarah and Nicky lots, so I thought I would do something lovely for them to say thank you for my comfy new bed... there were lots of strange noises coming from the sky, and all the neighbours seemed to be coming home very late, so I made sure I let Sarah and Nicky know every time one of their neighbours got home safely. I was only trying to be nice, so they didn't get cross with me, but Sarah did look funny jumping out of bed every twenty minutes with wild hair to let me know it was ok and I could go back to sleep! By about 4am everyone in the street was home, and I settled down. A job well done.
I'm quite tired today and keep yawning. I'm not sure why, maybe I need another early night.
