Last Sunday our humans cycled 17 miles and came home with sore bottoms and never wanting to see a bicycle again. Now, in that situation what would you do this Sunday? I would learn from the experience and spend this Sunday quietly at home with their beloved dogs, but no. Instead they have chosen to go \u2026 on another 17 mile cycle ride going in the other direction than they went last Sunday. Now call me stupid, but why would you do that? Ok, so my mum is a little hormonal and is driving us all bonkers, but cycling 17 miles to get away from her is a little extreme. Alfie just goes to the other end of the house and cowers. I\u2019m sure the humans could take the same approach if they really want to. I think our Mistress did use some negotiation skills in the process though. She insisted that this week they would stop on route for a cream tea and I think that bit if nothing else may be sensible.<\/p>\n
You\u2019d be proud of me. I found the instinct to cover my Mum\u2019s scent yesterday. It\u2019s not just because I\u2019ve been watching Alfie do that. It suddenly came over me that was what I needed to do. Of course I had to queue up behind Alfie to take my turn and it is making peeing in the garden take an awful lot longer than we pee simultaneously. However at last I\u2019m found some of my primeval instincts. Our Mistress says she hopes I don\u2019t find too many more, but realistically I don\u2019t think that\u2019s likely. I\u2019m too soft to be open to too much of the call of the wild! I\u2019m more the \u2018call of the sofa\u2019 type of dog than a howling at the moon sort of boy. I know which side my bread\u2019s buttered and to be fair in the wild I don\u2019t suppose I\u2019d even get any butter with my bread.<\/p>\n
