I would like to publicly thank Monty on behalf of all of us for using up some of Wilma\u2019s energy. I\u2019d especially like to say a personal thank you as I seem to be the one allocated the job of chief entertainer. Alfie gets away with it, claiming old age. Shadow gets away with it, claiming she\u2019d hurt her. Me, soft cuddly old me, I can\u2019t find an excuse. Consequently every day for some of the time our Mistress insists I come into the office to play with Wilma. She scares me. She\u2019s so\u2026 so\u2026 oh I don\u2019t know what the words are, but she\u2019s so happy! She loves playing and playing and playing. Oh I know a few months ago I might have thought that it was a good idea, but that was then and there wasn\u2019t an annoying puppy around\u2026 leaving me aside and I didn\u2019t think I was annoying then. So thanks Monty, you\u2019re a start and we really hope she hasn\u2019t put you off.<\/p>\n\n\n

We\u2019re having our first family Christmas weekend this weekend. It\u2019s great. Not only are our maternal human grandparents and aunt here, but there is loads of food and most of it is dog friendly. Our Mistress tries to think of us when she\u2019s planning the menus. Ok so we aren\u2019t allowed the blueberry and white chocolate muffins, but the scones don\u2019t have dried fruit in and we are all having some turkey later. Of course, we won\u2019t be having the turkey skin as that has too high a fat content and could give us pancreatitis, but we\u2019ll get some veg to go with our turkey; although in the interest of being able to live together there are no sprouts! That is unless you count the game of \u2018tiddly sprouts\u2019 that comes with the Christmas crackers. It\u2019s like tiddly winks but you have to imagine your counters are sprouts and you are shooting them onto a dinner plate. It\u2019s safe to say I will never fully understand humans!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
