Today Shadow and I are having some mother \u2013 son time. Of course, I\u2019m happier about that than she is, but I know deep down she loves me really, she\u2019s just not a demonstrative sort of mother. Our Mistress has taken Alfie and Wilma to Granny and Grandpa\u2019s for the day and left us to look after my Master. At least I think she said it was that way round. She certainly told us where she had left everything before she went so we\u2019d know the answers when he asked. To be fair, part of the reason was that he wasn\u2019t exactly up when she went out but then she is prone to getting up a little on the early side \u2013 not always of her own choosing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alfie and Wilma will be having a quiet day trying to help our Mistress fix our grandparents\u2019 computer. I\u2019m guessing they will get some time to play in the back garden too, but I suspect Alfie will be happy just to let Granny scratch him behind the ears for a few hours. I was wondering if I could get Shadow to scratch me in all my favourite spots, but she\u2019s already gone through the \u2018I expect you to keep quiet and leave me to enjoy my chew in patch of sunshine\u2019 conversation so I think I know my place. I\u2019ve been wondering whether there\u2019s some mischief I could get up to instead and am just waiting for the humans to leave one of the dog gates open so I can nip upstairs and see what I\u2019m missing out on. I know it\u2019s only a matter of time before one or other of them does that, so as long as I stay quiet and let them forget I\u2019m here there should be some fun to be had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
