Thank you woogwas for your blog, you are a very clever dog and I am sure your mummy will be very proud of you. It sounds as if she has had a horrible time and I really hope that things get better soon so that she can put some more of her lovely painted pictures on her blog. Byeee

Awww such a cutie - you make sure you give mummy extra snuggles since she has been through such a tough time. I hope some of her precious things were salvageable?

Posted by: Lucille | January 18, 2010 at 09:56 AM
Awww poor Douglas, & poor mummy too! Not a nice thing to happen, I really hope that you don't get any more flooding and that the books are replaceable ones. Hope wednesday comes quickly for you douglas xxxxx
Posted by: Natalie | January 18, 2010 at 10:18 AM

Posted by: deborah | January 18, 2010 at 12:59 PM

Dreadful news about the studio. Have a good time in London. Is Hugo going or will he be wielding the mop and bucket while you're away?
Posted by: Rattling On | January 18, 2010 at 06:54 PM
Douglas has done a stirling job holding the fort for you Vanessa; an exceptionally clever dog and a remarkable way with words he has. Truly impressed I am. What a shame about your old studio, really really horrible for poor you. I hope the books are not irreplaceable and don't have too much sentimental value. I really love my books so I really do empathise. I hope nothing involving your art work got damaged. A horrible shock and hard work clearing it all up too. Douglas is going to miss you while you are away and so will we, but I hope you have some lovely family time to make up for your hideous time last week and that your meeting with your publisher goes well. Hope your niece loved the dress you crocheted for her a while ago. Am cheered up by Douglas's post as he made me laugh! See you soon.
xx

Poor Vanessa - there's nothing worse than water.
I hope there wasn't too much damage and it can be repaired without too much disruption!
I must admit I cannot stop laughing at this (extremely clever) post - Douglas must be an extremely intelligent dog - I have read it about six times now and it gets better every time!!
Posted by: jane smallcombe | January 18, 2010 at 07:21 PM
What an unbelieveable sight, your studio flooded. Good thing Douglas could gather his wits and speak out for you as you and Hugo had to be dashing about the cleanup. Hope it is dry and cozy again....was the culprit snow melt? following the great British blanket of white?
Posted by: Margot of VA | January 18, 2010 at 07:23 PM
dear douglas, firstly may I commend you on your blogging, not easy with paws instead of fingers indeed. well done. secondly please cuddle your mum for me, the studio derbarcle (sp!) must have been horrible :-( do that thing you dogs do when you put head on knee and look up at owner all soulful :-)
Posted by: sarah raad | January 18, 2010 at 08:03 PM
sorry about the flood - hope there is not too much damage - I'm sure Douglas' fur was a really good mop!!!
Posted by: Janice Perkin | January 18, 2010 at 08:18 PM
Oh, what a lovely post you wrote for your mummy. Do tell your mummy you can stand in post for her any time -- it is quite enjoyable. If I was near by I'd send over a bone -- it was such a lovely post. So sorry about the studio -- that does sound rather bad.
Posted by: Christina | January 18, 2010 at 08:39 PM
Douglas, you are very beautiful and by the look of it, a super intelligent dog. Your mummy is very lucky to have such a kind and thoughtful doggie as you. Tell her I hope she is feeling a little better now. It won't be long until Wednesday, just about 20 more dog-sleeps. Ros
Posted by: SNOOPYDOG | January 18, 2010 at 08:40 PM
Oh that was good fun! Well done Douglas. Your Mummy will be home very soon so don't worry.
Sorry to hear of the flood, hope all is well now and no permanent damage.
Posted by: Carol | January 18, 2010 at 08:55 PM
ThankYou dear Douglas for letting us know this news, You are a Good dog - a Marvelous! But poor mummy! How sad about the flood and the books :o( I am sorry that You are missing Your Mummy sweetie, but Wednesday will come around in no time and I am sure she will bring You a very special treat - and won't she be Surprised and Proud that you have written such a charming blog post! Perhaps she might let You write others occasionaly. That would be nice wouldn't it? Now here's a big kiss MWAH! Take care Darling xx Give Mummy my Love xx
Posted by: sumea | January 18, 2010 at 11:21 PM
Aaaaw Vanessa, I can't imagine anything worse. Sounds like a VERY large G&T is in order :( Travel safely.
Posted by: Stephie @ narrativeself | January 19, 2010 at 01:02 AM
Cute, cute post.Well done Douglas for typing so well with those furry paws.Being such a wellmannered dog, I'm sure you cleaned all the dog hair and dribble off the keyboard after as well.
Posted by: maryanne | January 19, 2010 at 04:42 AM
A flood? How horrible for you...I can sympathise having had a fire a couple of years ago, you keep remembering the things you haven't got any longer. I hope the trip cheers you up, it sounds exciting. Douglas manages very well with his little paws, but it will be nice to have you back1
love Penny x

Awwww paw Woogwas and poor mummy. She's really lucky to have you though. What a terrible thing to happen. I hope everything gets sorted out as good as new, with new books too. And you get to give her a big lik soon.
Posted by: Lynne | January 19, 2010 at 10:55 PM

only just catching up with reading my favourite blogs. So sorry to hear about your flood, how awful, hope that there wasn't too much damage and hope that the little trip away to the Big Smoke served to give you a well deserved break and a pick me up after such a horrible event.
Posted by: Julie | January 22, 2010 at 08:19 PM
Oh Vanessa what a time you've had. So sorry to hear about the flood. Douglas types very well indeed. What a clever lad x
