Part way through the day yesterday my Mistress looked at herself in the mirror. It’s something she tries to avoid doing more than is absolutely necessary and on this occasion I wish she hadn’t. ‘Alfie,’ she said ‘do you think you did this when you head butted me on Wednesday.’ I was torn between saying ‘oops’ and immediately denying any responsibility for the black eye she was sporting. She says it’s the first time in her life that she’s managed to get a black eye and I have to say that it is not a look that suits her, so I hope it will be the last. Anyway, in the absence of evidence to the contrary I seem to be getting the blame. Whatever happened to ‘innocent until proven guilty’? Doesn’t it apply to dogs? Next time I’m going to ask to have my lawyer present before I say anything. It’s probably safer that way. They could be asking for evidence, other than the black eye, to be brought out before I am so outrageously accused. To be fair I did headbutt her pretty hard, but it was an accident. Thankfully I remembered to check where she was before getting into bed yesterday morning so I didn’t aggravate the situation.
My Master is busy being the villain again for the next few days. He’s going to miss it when the performances are over. My Mistress is going to see him again tomorrow night and has promised to try to take some better photos. She says she is bringing her camera home before they go to do karaoke and is hoping that no one else takes any pictures either! At least it means their practice sessions should come to an end. You just don’t know what it’s like having to live with them. Times like this it is torture!
