Hey, my darlings :-)
At long last, proper internet. We are in a travelling campsite on our way to Alicante - it is ok, but dogs have to be on leads - we HATE leads - we believe they take away our freedom of expression!
The boss of this campsite doesn't speak a single word of English so we got to practice all our Spanish on him - to be honest though, right now, we aren't sure if we are booked in here for one night or one month lol ..........
Mind you, earlier today Lucy could have done with a lead - she jumped out of the HoW before she was allowed to!!! The main rule we have on this holiday is that no dog is allowed to jump out of the HoW until mum or dad have checked it is safe. Mum opened the door to have a look and Lucy jumped straight out past her!
Mum was furious and smacked her on the bum ..... Lucy nearly shat self - she NEVER gets a smack .... she immediately got back in but went in a huff with mum. She said she wasn't ever going to speak to mum again until she apologised but mum said a smack on the bum is way better than a dead dog! After a wee while Lucy had to agree with her and they made friends - since then though she has had to be called out the door :-)
Alfie is also being a bit difficult - he has decided he is allergic to Spanish dog food and therefore must be fed human bean food. Dad explained that the food he is getting isn't Spanish as it was brought from Asda at home! Alfie said it doesn't taste the same in Spain and if he is not allowed human bean food he will starve himself to dead ..... so far, they have been giving in to him so the rest of us are going to try the same thing tomorrow :-)
We really are having a lovely time - me and Layla have had no issues whatsoever and we are loving it. Layla is collecting stones nearly everytime we stop - she now has 5 of them ...... Dad said this will have to stop as we will soon be overweight if she keeps going. She has agreed not to collect anymore as long as she is allowed to keep the ones she has got as she has become very attached to them - she is a weird dog sometimes - she has them all lying on her bed and then she lies on top of them - I can think of nothing worse than lying on a pile of stones - ah well, each to their own.
The sleeping arrangements have been excellent - not so great for mum and dad as they are still complaining of being coldy at night because 'the bloody pugs' (that might be us) are bringing all the duvet into the middle - we have told them not to worry about it as they will get used to it :-)
The weather has been really lovely - nice and warm during the day but very cold at night - but that's ok because it is really cosy inside our HoW.
Tomorrow we are driving to just North of Alicante where we are going to book into a campsite up to Christmas - Dad said he is looking forward to getting stopped as he is tired driving. Mum offered to take over but he said he will never be THAT tired driving - she pretended to be cross but she was secretly relieved - she told me she would have peed her pants if he had said yes!
Anyway, I have to go now as Dad needs on the computer - that is the only bad thing so far about being on holiday - we can't all be on the computer at once. Mum said she and I will go through all my messages etc on Wednesday as tomorrow we will be travelling again all day - thank you all for your patience during this travelling period - please don't anyone think we are ignoring messages - it's just been really hard to get internet for long enough to go through them all.
Big massive huge pug hugs to you all
Buenas noches mis amigos
