Well I\u2019m driving to England again tomorrow. When I say I am driving, strictly speaking what I mean is I am falling asleep in the passenger seat and being driven. I realise there is a subtle difference but I will be dreaming that I am behind the wheel and actually driving. I see myself more as a rally driver than an ordinary motorway driver, I imagine I could do a very good hand brake turn. In fact I have been tempted to pull the handbrake on while my mistress is driving to see what happens. I can\u2019t do that when we are in my master\u2019s car as the \u2018handbrake\u2019 is actually pressed with a foot, so I can\u2019t reach. My mistress thinks I don\u2019t notice when she is in her own car and goes to do the wrong thing to either apply or remove the handbrake. Just because I\u2019m a dog she doesn\u2019t think I realise how stupid she is, but I\u2019m not fooled. My master had to take me to the vet for my check up last night, as my mistress wasn\u2019t around. It was so funny, he has never done it before and had to keep asking me which bits needed doing. Of course I am an old hand at it now and particularly after the time when we had to wait for a later crossing as my stamp wasn\u2019t timed right, I really didn\u2019t want him making any mistakes. I have to have a general health check which I won\u2019t let the locum vet anywhere near me to do, the ordinary vet is fine, I like him. Then I have to be wormed and have my tick treatment. How many dogs do you know that get wormed every month! It is a nightmare. I don\u2019t even get much chance to eat things I could get worms from!<\/p>\n
