My name is Romany and I was born on 8th April 2005. I am a snoodle dog, which means I am black with curly hair, bushy eyebrows and a long beard that gets in my food. I am a cross between a poodle and a schnauzer, so my hair doesn’t fall out like some other [...]

Black Dog Tails
The Beginning
I was born three years ago so I am three. In doggy years though this means I am 15 in your age cycle. I have now moved from a puppy dog to a teenager. This doesn’t mean I have become more serious, I still like lots of fun, I am however a more responsible dog. [...]
The Accident
One day I was out for a walk with Richard. We were in the countryside and I was having fun running about in the long grass and sniffing all the lovely smells. I was a very bouncy dog when I was little. I can still, even though I am bigger now, jump high to get [...]
The New House
We moved into a cottage house at the top of a very steep hill. This house had no other houses near it and all you could see were trees, hills, grass, heather and sheep. It was great. There was a big forest to the back of the house and also a big field at the [...]
Meeting Alphedia
When I turned one, I met Alphedia. She is now my owner too along with Richard. I am with her now always. Alphedia is good fun to play with but she can’t walk far so I still go with Richard on my long walks. I am glad Alphedia came because she can hear my thoughts [...]
Travels To Ireland
When I was a bit older, but not yet one, I started to travel with Richard for his work. We would often go to a place called Ireland. This meant we had to travel on top of the sea in a big, huge boat called a ferry. I loved being on the ferry. I could [...]
My New Bed
The second time I really knew Alphedia I could hear me was when I asked her if I could have a new bed. A proper dog bed not just a cushion. The next day Alphedia and Richard went and bought me my lovely, soft red and white checked bed. It was so comfy for me [...]
Chasing Gnomes and Birds
In the forest near where we lived, I could see lots of gnomes when I went on my walks. These gnomes seemed to be invisible to human eyes but I could see them darting about in the undergrowth. Gnomes look like little people but they have pointy hats and short, dumpy legs. They often have [...]
Running Away From Home
Another time I was bad, but had lots of fun, was one summer night on my walk. It was very light although it was late. I decided to disappear into the woods. I could hear Auraengus calling on me but chose to ignore it. I wanted to play and I intended to return home before [...]
Moving House Again
About two years after I had first moved to Scotland, we moved house again. This time in heavy snow and it was really cold. The new house was bigger and had a big garden. I now share the house with six fish which don’t do much except swim. They won’t play ball with me or [...]
