Have a look at this Fab dancing golden retriever at a dog show. I hope he won first prize! It is a a long dance and the final moves are superb, so stay with it. I dance with my Mum occasionally but my dancing ability is nothing compared to this.

My friend Blondie just sent me this top video clip of talking dogs! I am sometimes a little vocal, especially when we are going out for a walk or if I am being taken for a night at my favourite pub. But I cannot compete with these dogs. The Dalamatian says ‘hello’ and the West Highland Terrier says loving things to his Mum. Have a listen and you will be amazed: I am off to practice my act.

If you have a funny, inspiring or heartwarming real-life story about your dog or a dog you would call “friend”, I have some friends who will pay you for it. This is what they are offering to any dog whose story is accepted

• US$100 “permission fee” upon publication.
• Your byline with the story
• A free copy of the dog story book when it is published

The Happy Guy Marketing is collecting stories on behalf of Snapshots of Heaven, publishers of the successful Snapshots of Heaven series, as seen on the Home Shopping Network, in over 100 TV, radio and print interviews, and on sale in major bookstores across North America. The dog volume will be the second in the series.

I am meeting loads of clever bloggers as I make myself known on the blogosphere. I have a profile at mybloglog, you can see my widget on the left hand side - I called it ‘recent woofs’. I enjoy seeing who has visited and checking out their blogs too. When I log in I get all sorts of information about my visitors and where they have come from. People say there are some famous bloggers at mybloglog: well, I’m there, anyway.

Another fun afternoon in Hampstead, where we can all visit or favourite places and none of us has to wait outside. First I went to the dog friendly Catto Gallery, while Mum and Dad looked at their favourite art I warmed myself by the fire, then outside I had my photo taken with Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt!
Down into the village Mum likes to go to Zana boutique in Flask Walk, where Zana herself made me very welcome: she is a real animal lover. Finally round to the cafe in the Hampstead Indoor Community Market for some cake, along with a pet rabbit who was visiting on the way from the vet’s surgery. The cafe owner (who makes great cakes) says I am his favourite dog client - and he is my favourite cake maker!!

Finally Mum and Dad took me to the pub last night, after my traumatic day. They were in such a rush after they both dragged themselves away from the laptops that they forgot to feed me first. When we arrived, they got me some crisp (chips) and a nice bowl of ice cubes. The little Jack Russell was there as well, and everyone was watching a football match on the TV. There were a lot of goals and every time the crowd roared, the Jack Russell barked loudly along with them. He was also dancing on two legs to beg for treats - that is a step too far. Then a new friend came in - Sammy, a handsome Samoyed, with his Dad, George. He is a large a white dog with a long and thick double coat, friendly and gentle. Mum and Dad made a huge fuss of him, cooing and saying how beautiful he was. I was quite jealous and I started barking to remind them I still needed my dinner.
