Hi Granny & Grandad DC, Mummy and Daddy

Firstly, Daddy, I hope you are well and recovering from your operation.

Secondly, I just wanted to share a bit of surprise news with you.  When the postman arrived today, he came with a big box addressed to my Daddy (the human one!).  None of us knew what it was, but then when we saw that it came from The Dog Portrait Company it dawned on us!  Mummy (again, the human one!) and I remembered that towards the end of September we had gone to Pets at Home and had my portrait done to go with the one they had done of Chelsey last year.  We didn't think any more about it, until today that is - as when you have your picture taken, you are automatically entered into a free competition - and believe it or not, the big box that arrived was a big portrait of me, coz I had won!!!  I couldn't believe it - the size of the print is almost the same size as I am!!  Lucky, it had been done when I'd had my haircut, coz if it had been done now - I probably wouldn't of won, coz I keep having really bad hair days at the moment and still have to wait another week for it all to be cut off!

Anyway, I have attached the link below to their website, so that you can have a look at my winning picture - not only do I get put on their website, but I also get my picture put up in the Chippenham store!!!  I'm hoping the puparazzi don't find out - I won't get any peace!!!

I've also attached a couple of photos of Chelsey and me enjoying the beach on our recent holiday - I loved it - particularly running in and out of the sea after those pesky seagulls!

I hope you are all well there, lots of love to you all, particularly all my new little half brothers and sisters - Auntie's Gracie and Maggie and Daddy have come up trumps again.

Look forward to seeing you at the next "Cockers" gathering.

Lots of love
