Elemental Me!

Without further ado, allow me to hand over to my very first Guest Blogger...

Hi!  I'm Heathcliff...

Alpha Male, I am, but definitely not your regular kind of dog - I don't have "papers" but boy, do I make up for the lack in personality and verve!

Not to put too fine a point on it, I tick all the boxes when it comes to intelligence, astuteness, spunkiness, ease of transportation (believe me, this is an important attribute!) and, I hold the Platinum Award for Best Indoor/Outdoor Canine Companion...in fact, my merits outnumber any demerits 100 to 1.

The best way for you to get to know me is to read my blog!  Desiree has kindly agreed to let me try out hers, for size.  My goal though is to have a blog of my own.  It's important to always set yourself new goals - it's the mental form of early morning stretching.  And, oh, boy!  Do I enjoy a good...s t r e t c h

Don't forget to keep your back nice and straight.  This is one of my favourite yoga poses.

For now though, all you need to know is...there's very little I can't or won't do...and swimming is definitely not one of them!  It was an absolute scorcher here, today.  Here's my tip for keeping cool...

Don't think about it.  Just dive headlong into the nearest pool of water.  Here I am today, enjoying the pool at home.  I can swim for ages and love playing water polo with a ball.  It helps keep me trim.  Try it - gives you a good workout and, at the end of the day, with your belly full, you can snuggle into your bed and sleep the sleep of the innocent...Boy!  Do I have that one down pat!

Another good tip:  always keep a ball and rope handy in case someone wants a game (a dog can hope, can't he?)

I don't want to give away all my tips on how to have a good day in one go.
Just work with these for now...can't you see I'm snoozing?
