More paws for thought

Well I finally managed to get on the puter thing. I just don't get a look in with my Mum.
Something is definitely up. Usually most days are pretty predictable, I wake up, wake Mum up, nag her to let me out in the garden and give me my breakfast. She then gets dressed while I'm scoffing. After she's had her breakfast and coffee she usually gets on the puter then disappears out, leaving me the choice of sleeping on my bed downstairs, or heading up to stretch out on her bed until I hear the car come back.

She got so cross the other day - I made myself comfy on her bed by scraping up all the bedding into a heap in the middle, including the bottom sheet and mattress cover. It all made such a cosy nest for me to curl up on. When she came to bed that night she said a few loud words  and spent a long time fitting the sheets back on before I could lie down on her bed. What a fuss! It's so much better all scrunched in a heap!

Anyway she's been coming and going at odd times, and that noisy sucky machine has been used all over the place, more often than usual. The Jenny has been a bit bothered too lately. I recognise the tone of voice from Mum that the Jenny has not been doing the right thing at home. Her small box has been making lots of noises lately and she sits for ages with it stuck to her head while she talks to herself. She does give me brilliant bum rubs though, once I can get her attention.

Polly

Mum took me to visit my mate Polly the other day. I hadn't seen her since she came to stay with us ages ago. She was pleased to see me but I was more interested in checking out her home. She has these black creatures living there who sat in the chairs and watched me with big green eyes. Polly and I had an explore of the garden together and I left my scent marker right in the middle of the lawn.

Do you know they did not have a bed for me anywhere?? Polly went on what was obviously her bed but I had to lie down on the carpet! Can you believe that? Visiting royalty and nowhere to relax!

Mum has stripped my bed covers and been washing them. I get them just nicely smelling of me and she goes and makes them smell all flowery - that lavender stuff doesn't half stink!
Oh did I tell you about getting my nails done? My claws were getting a bit long so Mum took me to the beauty parlour and a very nice lady trimmed them for me. I was scared - not of having my claws done but because of the noise! It sounded like some poor dog was being tortured next door! Really scary noises! Mum just laughed! The lady said something about a dog having a bath. I hope Mum doesn't make me go through that there!
We went past the desk at the vet but my favourite lady was not there. She always gives me a big cuddle. We did wander round the store a bit on the way out and Mum bought some packs of something and mentioned birds. I think that's the small things that fly in and out of our garden a lot. They all fly away when I go out :(
I'd better go and get my head down for another nap. It's tiring being a dog you know!
