I had hoped by now that I would know exactly how many of you read my diary in October, but unfortunately my Mistress hasn’t had time to go through the numbers despite my doing my best begging routine. The reason I am so excited is I think it is the highest ever readership but I want to know by how much.
Is it just me or are any of you finding this extra hour in bed a major disappointment? I was rather hoping that I would get the extra hour every day, rather than just a one off. I know that now it is lighter mornings I am supposed to be more enthusiastic about getting up, but it isn’t as though it is properly light and you try having to go outside to the toilet when the temperature is barely above freezing.
Shadow and Megan have started using the settee in the office a little like a trampoline. To be fair it is only while they are playing tug, but the settee has been working its way across the floor in a quite alarming fashion in the process. Of course I am jealous and would like to join in the bouncing, but every time we have tried to have three of us on there at the same time one of us falls off and it always seems to be me that has the outside edge. I stand watching and bark encouragement to Megan every so often but then I get told off for making too much noise so, sadly, I am concluding that it is best to leave the two of them to it and find something less exciting to do, which of course brings me right back to the extra hour in bed!
What would I like for my birthday? I did think I’d like a new rubber chicken, but I had one of those a few weeks ago and the girls destroyed it within half an hour. It was then confiscated when they started eating it. I need something that will definitely be mine. I guess a new collar would be boring, but then I am getting older and maybe that’s the sort of thing you ask for when you’re older.
