Wednesday 17th September 2014 – My new harness

Well, my Mistress eventually tried my new harness on me yesterday and I must say it looks very smart. It’s a shame I’m not going to the Fun Day on Saturday to show it off. I don’t mind quite so much that I’m not going as I couldn’t play with my girlfriend anyway as her season has started. Without her there I wouldn’t feel so brave around the other dogs. I’m looking forward to a weekend with my grandparents. I’ll miss my Mistress, but it will be nice and relaxing. I just have to remember that I am not there as a guard dog and if my human aunt calls round late at night it is not ok to pin her in the corner of the porch and not let her in. It would have been fine if I had been expecting her, but it was late and I didn’t think anyone was going to be calling. I was only doing my job.

Even though my Mistress’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago she still hasn’t had her main present from my Master. It wasn’t because he didn’t try, it was because she said she’d rather wait until there was something she really wanted. While we were in Switzerland she decided what that something was. I told you a while ago she’d had a necklace made with mine and Aristotle’ paw prints on it, so that we could always be with her. Well, now she’s adding Megan and Shadow’s too it as well. She thought it would be a lovely way to keep Megan close in her thoughts even when she has gone off to her new home. She is waiting for the special kit to arrive to send to Megan to do her paw print before she heads off to her new home.
