New Year's Resolutions at It's a Ruff Life

Unlike Bella, from it's a ruff life, I'm not one for making many New Year's resolutions.  I certainly don't go for the ones everyone seems to set regarding weight and clothes size.  I have set one resolution though to double up on the number of sky dives I do this year from 13 to 26 - that should be awesome fun.

My resolution is way better than Max's.  I'm going to double up on my number of spa visits and dance classes at Canine Calm; I've heard there's a new dance craze based on 'Dance with 1000 stars', bellatastic or what?

New Year at It's A Ruff Life

I hope everyone is looking forward to a terrific new year.  We are at It's A Ruff Life.  We have some great things planned including the launch of our new website and at least another 3 explosive, funny novels for you to enjoy.

Bella's been looking at some new free games for this blog for you to play.  Shame about the snow line game it seems to stop working at the fourth level.  The other games have been great fun.  I've beaten Bella at all of them.

Enjoy your New Year celebrations.

We are having a party at Beckingham Grange.  I'll have great fun annoying Bella and her friends.  Max

What gifts did you get for Christmas?

I hope you all had a nice Christmas.  We did at it's a ruff life; I bought Max a big bag of fizzy popping candy.  It was so funny he kept foaming at the mouth and drooling over everywhere; at one time Lord A banned him from the room because he was messing everything up.  I just laughed.

Max bought me some house slipper socks, they are a gaudy green colour.  I won't wear them; they are not at all stylish and they are not at all glittery. I'll give them to the animal shelter.

Maria bought me a fab new hat.  Ursula bought me a pair on sparkly pink paw bracelets.  I'm already wearing them, they are so 'bellarish'.

Lord A bought me a funky new musical bed; I can set it to play any music I like; it's 'bellatastic'

                 Happy Christmas

from

Bella and Max

We hope you all have a lovely time.  We are going to tuck into our turkey lunch prepared by Seamus, sing lots of songs and play lots of games.

Have a Fun Christmas Eve Play some Fun Free Kids Games

Merry Christmas

Hi everyone well we don't have to wait any longer for Santa to arrive.  I'm so excited, I'll find it so hard to sleep tonight.  I can't wait for Santa's sleigh to land on the roof of Beckingham Grange, at it's a ruff life.  Santa will need an extra sack for all the presents I wanted on my Christmas list. 

Max is excited too, which surprised me especially as he's only asked for a couple of presents.  This just goes to show. as I already new that a female doglet's needs are way more important than a common dog's needs.

I'm going to play my games now, the one on this blog.  Why don't you join me.  Click each page link above to take you to each amazingly fun game. 

Max has just asked me to wish you all a very happy Christmas.  

What's your Favourite Christmas Song?

To make sure that everthing's fair at Beckingham Grange in it's a ruff life I've decided that we should make a Christmas list of all our favourite Christmas songs.  There's no way that I'd want to listen to the type of music Max likes all the time.

Lord A said that he wanted everyone to be involved including Maria our house keeper, Seamus our chef and Mr Parchment our butler.

I've made sure that my three favourite songs are at the top of the list, so that they will get played the most.  I've chosen I wish it could be Christmas everyday, jingle bell rock and rockin around the Christmas tree.

Max will probably pick something silly like when Santa got stuck up the chimney or a I want a hippopotamus for Christmas or the restroom door said gentlemen.

Let us know what is your favourite Christmas song.

Play Christmas Holiday Games at It's a Ruff Life

Bella and I are so in the holiday mood at It's a Ruff Life.  Beckingham Grange looks wicked decked out in decorations and lots of twinkly lights.  I even have to admit that the Christmas tree in the main hall looks tons better since Bella changed my design; it's a good thing I don't get touchy about such things.

Bella has been an annoying nuisance so I challenged her to a computer game competition to shut her up.  Bella can't stand being last at anything and she is so competitive that she will never turn down a challenge when it comes from me.

We spent an afternoon playing the Christmas games on this site - they are really fun.  At first Bella was loosing in all the games but by the end of the competition Bella won the Christmas Meyhem game, that game reminds me a bit of what Bella's like in real life - CRAZY!  I won all the rest, so you can safely say that I was the overall winner.

To make the competition more fun Bella agreed to the proviso of whoever won waited on the other sibling for the whole of Christmas Day and Boxing Day.  Bella was so annoyed - I can't wait till Christmas Day!

Don't forget to play the free games we played. Click on each page above to access them.  You'll have great fun.

What is your favourite Christmas Game?

At Beckingham Grange over at It's a Ruff life things are getting really exciting as we get ready for Christmas.  The tree is now nicely decorated, thanks to ME, I'm Bella by the way.  Seasmus has been baking trays of hot mince pies for us to take out on our annual Christmas carol singing to the local elderly community projects tonight.  It's something that Lord Alfred does every year.  It's always a fun time as I get lots of attention.

I've just remembered I need to decide what games we are going to play over Christmas.  My fav game is Challenj - it is the funniest game ever.  I'm going to get Max to play so that he can make a fool of himself when he can't do the challenges. Yey Christmas I love it!

What Christmas games do you like to play? Let us know, they might be games we've never heard of.

While you're waiting for Christmas click on our Free Christmas games to play.  I love playing 'Deep Freeze' it's great fun freezing the baddies.  I wish it was Max I was freezing!

The Christmas Tree

Who at Beckingham Grange in It's a Ruff Life got it into their minds that letting Max help decorate the Christmas tree was a good idea?  Don't they realise that Max has an awful sense of style when it comes to fashion and elegance and, let's face it, the Beckingham Grange Christmas tree is a really big, important statement that says a lot about the people who own it, ME!

You should have seen the state it was in after he'd had his paws on it.  It was shambolic.  There was no star or angel on the top and who's ever heard of a Christmas tree without a star at the top - not many people, that's for sure!

The baubles were a miss mash of clashing colours and sizes thrown together on the branches without any thought whatsoever.  He even forgot to place our Santa and sleigh model on cotton wool under the tree.  It all looked wrong.

"It's a shambles," I said when he asked me what I thought, "You've ruined Christmas!"
"Don't be so melodramatic."
I felt like hitting him but turned away instead and went to my room to form a plan of how I would save Christmas.

That night, when everyone was asleep, I crept downstairs and rearranged every decoration on the tree.  I also added a beautiful lighted star and garlands of small golden baubles around it.  It looked 'bellatastic' like everything I do; after all it had to look perfect and only I do that.

Secret Santa at It's a Ruff Life

 

Over at It's a Ruff Life things are getting really exciting.  Today we had secret Santa at the Doglet Academy.  I bought a gift for Louise and wrapped it in the most amazing paper ever; it was a picture of the most expensive perfume you can buy - a touch of class or what!

We all had to gather in the hall at lunchtime and they even had Santa come to deliver not just the secret Santa gifts, but also proper Santa gifts that he brought for each one of us.  It was very 'bellasome!'.

I was so excited when Santa called out my name.  I danced up to the stage and jumped about a bit while I waited for my presents to be given to me.  I bet I'll be disappointed, I thought.  I'll have to practice my, this is the most wonderful thing I've ever received face.

Santa passed me a gift that was wrapped in newspaper that only had the sports coverage on the front; who in their right mind would wrap My gift in grotty newspaper?  My enthusiasm dropped to the minus scale. 

Precariously I opened my gift but it was fabulous a paw pad card for buying my fav music.  Santa's gift was way more ordinary - It was a standard fur brush set. I can put that in a charity collection after Christmas, I thought as I carried my gifts back to my place.

We finished the afternoon off with a disco and party.

My own Language

At it's a ruff life, in the popularity stakes I am way above Max.  I out shine him at everything - intelligence, looks, breeding, fashion sense, friends etc - the list is endless.  I mean I even have my own vocabulary - take a look

bellarish - it's wonderful, like me
bellatastic - same as above
bellalicious - the best tasting thing ever

How many other canine's can say they have their own awesome set of words named after them?  You and I know the answer to that question and it certainly isn't Max!

What's on Your Christmas List?

There was only one topic of conversation at the Doglet Academy today from It's a Ruff Life- What's on your Christmas wish list?


Mine's awesome, as you'd expect, and of course it includes a year's membership and the most wonderful place on earth - Canine Calm the top canine spa and fitness centre, plus the usual stuff, clothes, shoes, music, did I mention accessories?

Some dogs only wanted collars, bowls, leads - how boring! 

So I thought I'd ask you:

How amazing is your Christmas Wish List? Let me know what you asked Santa for.

Bella

Bella & Max - It's a Ruff Life

Bella's Being Kind!

Because it's so close to Christmas don't forget that if you are still looking for a great Christmas present It's A Ruff Life is an awesomely funny book to read.











I thought it was too good to last.  Bella started being kind to me, I don't mean actually acknowledging the fact that I live in the same house as her, but actually taking time to talk to me.  Wonders will never cease!

She asked me if I'd try out some food she'd made, you firstly had to pick me up off the floor at the thought of Bella actually doing something other than fur, nails, fashion and dancing, of course I said yes, what dog would turn it's nose up at free food?  Oh I forgot, Bella who is always watching her weight, only food at meal times for her.

She gave me a bowl of fresh salmon mousse - it was okay but nothing amazing; I don't know why she gets so excited over salmon mousse,  I expect because Seamus makes it better than she does.

Anyway to cut a long story short this kindness lasted two weeks and for the whole of the two weeks, at some point in the day, a bowl of salmon mousse was placed under my nose.  By the end of the two weeks I was glad if I never saw another salmon again.

It was only when Bella got back from the academy that I realized why she had been so nice to me.  She had challenged Lemondrop to a salmon mousse bake off and I had been the official, this is not perfected yet, taster.

I said that I was glad that she had won, if only to stop eating bland tasting salmon mousse, I didn't tell her that part.  It didn't matter though the thoughtfulness I'd now come use to finished as abruptly as it had started.  I am now only her adopted brother to be tolerated, it feels so good to have things back to normal.

Salmon Mousse

I don't know if you know but one of my favourite foods is the fresh salmon mousse that Seamus, the chef from Beckingham Grange in it's a ruff life, makes for me.  It's 'delish'.  Well I got into an argument with Lemondrop at The Doglet Academy about who makes the best salmon mousse in the world.  I said to my, temporarily not now VBF, you wouldn't know the world's best salmon mousse if you sat in it. Any way to cut a long story short I somehow challenged her to a salmon mousse contest.  I told her that not only am I a salmon mousse tasting expert, I am also the world's top canine salmon mousse chef.  I didn't think she'd take me seriously.

I've been practicing everyday how to make salmon mousse and now I'm fed up of it and it's still another week to go before we have our big competition.

Seamus has said that he'll be on on the judging panel but so is Lemondrop's chef, so I've got to find some way of winning the competition.  I can't let Lemondrop win - I'll be the laughing stock of the school and there's no way I'm going to let that happen.

I've just had a brilliant idea - I'll slip some anchovy sauce in her mixture while she's not looking, it will make it taste really salty.
                                                       
                                                              *   *   *   *   *   *

Guess what?  My stupendous plan worked - I won the competition, I am now the official world's best salmon mousse chef, and I didn't even have the time to doctor Lemondrop's mixture - It turns out that Lemondrop forgot to bring the fresh lemon juice and apparently that made all the difference - Yey ME! Totally BELLARISH or what!

Don't forget to check out It's a Ruff Life for some of my most amazing adventures.  The book will make a great Christmas gift!

The Makeover!

I'm so excited!  What do you think to the new page makeover at It's a Ruff Life?  I think it's terrific!  I've also had a makeover on my It's a Ruff Life Facebook page.  Check out the

new LIKE button on the left hand side of this page.  I love to be praised, adored and noticed - well what vogue doglet wouldn't?   I also like to be seen without Max, so here's a cute picture of me. Bella

Land Yacht Racing - Wicked

Met up with a group of friends yesterday in it's a ruff life and we went land yacht racing.  It was WICKED.  We raced across the field blown by high winds and massive sails.  It was awesome.

Those things are really difficult to steer at top speed and a couple of times a few of us overturned the carts.  We weren't really hurt; just a few bruises but it was well worth it.

I think I might take land yacht racing up as a new hobby.  It's great for developing coordination and lightening fast reflexes, which are essential for capturing the world's most dangerous criminals.

Check out my really neat adventure now; you'll love all the action. 

A Breath of Fresh Air

In it's a ruff life I went for a long cross country run this morning.  It was great to get fresh air through my nostrils instead of the awful sickly, sweet, smelling perfume that Bella wears.  There are enough flowers around Beckingham Grange without Bella smelling like one as well.

While I was out I found an abandoned case; I sniffed it and could tell that the case was booby trapped.  It smelt of the powder paint that is used to protect money in transit.

I pressed my paw cuff, took out some plastic finger print capturing discs and placed them on the case. I used the scanning device on my cuff to capture the images and upload them on to the M16 database, but nothing useful came back.

I had to cut short my run to take the case back home so that C could pick it up and take it back to MI6 for their forensic's team to work on.

It looks like I'll have another case to work on at the same time I'm keeping Lord Alfred under close surveillance.  I can't wait to get started.

The Doglet Academy

Yeah!  Lord A from It's a Ruff Life, has finally got the point that I want to go to 'The Doglet Academy.  So he should after all the ads and leaflets I've sent him by email.  I start next week and so does my VBF Lemondrop.  I can hardly wait.  It should be great FUN.

Lord A thinks that it's just a free style dancing dog training school, but it's way more than that.  It has an awesome fashion course - is that for me or what?  It has a dog obedience class - boring!  I'll be sure to miss out on that one; it'll be a totes complete waste of my time.

                                             * * * * *

Ursula, my paid guardian and human friend, has just brought me back from my first day at 'The Academy'.  I've already made 5 new friends, I'm so popular.  I've decided to set up a select group called 'The Bella Belles'.  One of my new friends is called Cassie, she's not very fashionable YET, but we can work on that, said to me,  "Bella you wear such awesome clothes and you're very pretty."
"I know," I said.  I just had to agree with her; it is the truth after all.  The Bella Belles will soon be the most popular group in 'The Academy'.

I'm planning a sleepover for 8 of my friends; we'll have a party, music, watch human girlie movies and paint each others' paw nails - it will be such good, noisy fun.  It will drive Max nuts!

Are you ready for the most exciting, funny book EVER!  Go and checkout my first full length amazing story,  You'll think I'm awesome like those nice people on Amazon have said. 

YIPEE!

People LOVE ME!!  I knew they would. Who can help it?  After all I am the most popular character from it's a ruff life.

The Doglet Party of The Year

Well Beckingham Grange from It's a Ruff Life has never had so much activity going on.  I'd never seen anything like it.  I'm sure as much thought and care went into creating the 'doglet party of the year' as went into a well planned heist.  The amount of food, balloons, banners, lights and other decorations that came were enough to decorate a shopping mall at Christmas, let alone a ballroom and sun terrace of a private home.

To say it was a pink affair; was, to state the obvious, an understatement of the century.  I didn't know that there were so many different shades of pink in existence.

I stayed well out of the way in my room.  To be honest I wasn't invited.  But to be absolutely honest with you I was glad.  What real dog in it's right mind would want to be in a room full of screaming female doglets?

The band sounded good and Seamus snook a plate of food and birthday cake in to my room for me.  I had much more fun playing digital screen games.

I don't think Bella was too impressed with the gift I gave her.  But what gift do you get an over demanding, got everything doglet - a sparkly toothbrush, right?  She thanked me but then made the comment about at least it was sparkly even though it was the wrong color, wrapped in the wrong colored paper.

Some canines seem impossible to please and it's just my luck that I now live in the same house with the world's number 1 butt ache. Still I'm glad she had a good party as it kept her off my tail for a bit.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST DOGLET PARTY

This week has been the most awesome week!  at it's a ruff life.  It's been my party week and I have been celebrating every day.  

You do realize that I am now a DOGLET! How 'bellasome' is that?

The amazing party that I had and planned was so awesome; it was the most sparkly, themed doglet party EVER!  Every important canine was there including my VBF Lemondrop, Chuckles, Louise and a  host of my Zumba class friends.  Everyone wore pink- my fave color and Seamus made the biggest Bday cake.  It had my picture decorated on the front of it.  Mingle Mogels, a hot new group sang live outside on the swimming pool terrace and we danced for hours and hours.  It was such FUN!

I got to open a gazillion gifts.  My absolute fave was Lord A's gift; guess what he gave me?  An open line of credit for a chic new canine boutique, Vogdo that had just opened in London; is that heavenly or what?  I can't wait to start the magic word 'shopping'.

Max even gave me a present.  I thanked him, it was my birthday after all.  He's clueless when it comes to buying gifts; all he bought me was a sparkly toothbrush! What dog in it's right mind would buy a canine doglet, on her most important birthday, a toothbrush?  At least it was sparkly, even though it was the wrong color.

Very Important Information that I just had to Tell You

What do you think to the poster I made of my totes amazing book cover, It's a Ruff Life? The word 'Awesome' springs to mind.

That's me, the one with the pink highlights.  Well the GREAT news is that you can buy this 'bellarish' book now at all the Amazon sites  or Smashwords.  Bellarish by the way means the most awesome, thing ever!

I've just been told to tell you that our (my) website - rufflifeonline.com will becoming next year.  It's going to have some great games to play and also lots of other awesome stuff.  So don't be disappointed if you can't access it at the moment.  It will be well worth the wait.

Bella Rionetta Thermapolina, canine heir from It's a Ruff Life is intent in getting rid of me.  Being an ex-military trained dog eating my food outside is no real hardship.  I must say though that she is one overly spoiled dog.
What I wouldn't give to shower her in wet mud - it would be hilarious, but I don't have the time or, I suspect, the opportunity. Bella doesn't go anywhere near soil.  The only 'outdoor' she knows is on the sun terrace by the swimming pool.

It's a good job I managed to get all the cameras and bugging devices placed as I've just had word that I'm going on a fighter pilot retraining course for the next few days.  MI6 are using the excuse that I need a vet stay for a few days for a routine checkup, so as not to arouse suspicion why I had to leave.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Bella realises that I've left.  She'll think that she's got rid of me.
I must admit that perfume stunt she played was horrible; I had to wear my specially adapted face mask that C made for me for a couple of hours until the smell evaporated.

I dread to think what she'll try when she see's me back at the house again.  Oh, well I suppose every mission must have it's challenges and she's one big butt pain.  Still I'm sure my charm will eventually win her over.

My name's just been called and I'm really looking forward to the training.  It will be awesome doing aerobatic flying again.

Over at it's a ruff life my plan worked, yippee!  The stray's left and it only took a week. I saw the stray leave with the same man he came with. Am I good or what!  

Now to throw out all his things; I don't trust anyone doing that properly other than me.  I'll go downstairs and find a trash bag.  I want to make sure that all traces of the stray are gone then I'll go and celebrate by getting Lemondrop to come shopping with me.

I think I've earned a nice massage at Canine Calm after all the stress 'the stray' caused me this past week.

I still can't believe Seamus moved his bowl back into the kitchen after I'd taken it outside.  Didn't he realise that there was only room for 1 dog in this house and that dog was ME!

I'm so glad that life is back to normal.

Beckingham Grange from it's a ruff life is a massive house.  I've looked in most of the rooms on the ground floor but I couldn't get into Lord A's study; not without hawk eyes Bella watching my every move.  I also couldn't find the security control room.  I can tell from what I've already seen by the number of cameras and sensors about the place that this house has much more security than what is classed as general household security for a house this size.

I've just found yet another door.  This one seems to be locked but that's not a problem with the lock pick C made for me.

Good there's no one around, so here goes.  There's lots of food stored down here and  it looks like there are about 4 or 5 separate rooms running off a stone floor corridor.  I can here someone coming so I'll hide in the first room I come to.

Phew! that was close.  I've found the security room though.  It seems that everything is linked to a computer server.  Now to check whose been meeting with Lord A over the last 6 months.  I'll just download a copy of all the CCTV feed and take it back to my room to run it through my computer.

Maria's doing the  laundry in my room so I'll have to do it later.  I'll go and search out Seamus instead and see if he has some nice juicy lamb instead.  That's a shame he's not there.  Well I might as well go for a run.

Bella, the spoiled house dog has left me a letter.  It smells awful, way too strong for a normal dog's nose.  I'd better read what she wants.

'You'll find your food where it should be - outside at the bottom of the garden by the tool sheds.
signed Bella Rionetta Thermapolina.

He's Clearly a Street Dog!

It's a ruff life, I decided to let the 'stray' meet me after having had a fun stop over at my VBF Lemondrop's house.  We had a girlie night painting our paw nails and dancing to the latest Zee's dance release download.

It's a shame I had to come back but I can't let the 'stray' get too comfortable here.  I'm not letting it take MY place, that's for sure, NO WAY!

The 'stray' has a name it's Max; I think 'stray' suits him better.  Besides what kind  of name is that for a dog - it's way too short, lacks class and good breeding.  I suppose in that case you could say it suits him.

My name is amazing; it's Bella, Rionetta, Thermapolina, Beckingham.  I have an enormous pedigree of the world's most famous dogs.  That's why I'm so awesome.  Clearly I was born awesome.

I could accept a male pedigree dog that had fallen on hard times but this stray is scruffy and has a scar across his right eye - clearly a fighting dog.  Well I'm going to find a way of getting rid of him.  I'll give him such a hard time that he'll just leave.

I forgot to mention that he also smells of unwashed dog and he has the most horrible nasty habit - he wipes his mouth along the wall after he's eaten his food - YUCK and double YUCK.  I'm going to make sure that Maria, our housekeeper knows about this; she'll go mental and complain to Lord Alfred about him.  He'll soon be gone, YEAH!

I'm just off to see what other things I can do to make his life totally miserable why he's here.  I'll let you know how I get on.  I'll even start a calender and cross off the number of days it takes me to get rid of him.  I bet I do it in under 7 days.

Nice Human

It's a ruff life has just got interesting.

This is nice.  I didn't realise Lord Alfred actually lived in a really big house.

Wow! I've I have my own fields, a set of stables and miles of gardens to run around.  I should be able to keep really fit while I'm here.

I wonder who will meet me.  Sean's nearly at the door, that's massive too.  Oh, we've just drove past it.  I guess it's the servants entrance for me.  So I can take it that I won't be meeting Lord Alfred, at least not yet.

I'll take the opportunity to sus out his security system and all the staff before I meet the man himself.  I can then work out if any of the staff might be involved in some of the criminal activities Lord A is supposed to be involved with.

Here's someone to meet me.  This guy is really nice.  His name's Seamus and guess what he loves dogs, even better - he's the chef.  I've scored on two points already.  Is my luck in or what?  And I'm not even inside the door yet.

Seamus just mentioned the magic word 'bones'.  I'm thinking that maybe a little longer than 6 months will be alright with me for this mission after all! 

Bella's Welcome!

Hi

 

I'm Bella and I'm the only really important one around here at It's a Ruff Life!

I've just seen the dog van pull up outside.  The stray must be here.  Well I'm not going to meet it.

They finally got the point downstairs, after I kept moving the stray's bowl to the utility room that, that is the only place where it's going to eat and sleep, if it absolutely has to sleep inside the house.  I don't know if that's even far enough away from me.  At least I won't be able to see any of its bad habits or smell it.

I've been really kind in the circumstances - I've given it my old blue dog chew toy from when I was a puppy; I never did like that thing - totally the wrong colour.

It's even worse than I thought.  I've just found out that it's a male dog.  What was Lord Alfred thinking about.  At least if he'd chosen a female canine we could have had fun talking clothes, makeup, dancing and other fun stuff.  On the other hand  a male dog will be easy, peasy to wrap around my back paw.  I can make him my personal servant.  He'll want to please me so that I'll allow him to stay here. 
I'm going upstairs to my room to work out a list of chores I need doing.

New Undercover Mission

Hi, I'm a major character from it's a ruff life and

I'm a little apprehensive about this mission, I don't know why. It's just a funny feeling I have.  My name is Agent Max and I'm being driven to the dog rescue home. From there the owner is taking me to a place called Beckingham Grange. I'm going in undercover, spying on Lord Alfred's activities. MI6 believe that he's up to no good. Well I'll soon find out. I've no idea what to expect, so I've come prepared with all manner of gadgets that C has made for me.

C's just pulled up outside the gates.  I'm going to be introduced to Sean Rainsworth, apparently he's the owner of the dog rescue home.  According to Mrs Miller he knows that I'm the dog especially picked out for Lord Alfred.  Sean's also agreed to deliver me to Beckingham Grange tomorrow.  I think I can safely say that today's the first day of my new undercover mission.

I wonder how long I'll have to stay at Beckingham Grange?  Six months was mentioned but I hope I can get enough evidence before that.  I don't like being in one place for too long, and for some unknown reason I have a strange feeling about this new assignment.
