I\u2019m innocent! I have been blamed for the muddy marks all over the duvet cover, but I claim it wasn\u2019t me. As I said to my mistress \u201cWhat is the pattern on your duvet cover?\u201d Of course she went for the wise crack and said \u201cWhat as well as the muddy paw prints?\u201d Ha ha. When she did give me a serious answer she said \u201cYou mean Snoopy.\u201d \u201cExactly\u201d I said \u201cand what makes you think that Snoopy isn\u2019t capable of leaving muddy paw prints over the bed. Why do you assume it was me?\u201d I got a lengthy explanation about Snoopy being an inanimate object, which I think he will have been most offended by. My argument fell down completely when my mistress said \u201cSo if Snoopy is real, you won\u2019t be needing another dog to play with then.\u201d I was torn then between playing along, or conceding defeat and admitting to the paw prints. Either way it now means she has closed the bedroom door to keep me out during the day.<\/p>\n
Well I am really looking forward to seeing the reader statistics for my diary this month. When I last looked, over 380 people had read the 22nd<\/sup> April last year, quite apart from all the other days. Maybe the trick for getting readers is to mention my toys more often. I suppose it is only worth mentioning those toys that people can get the wrong ideas about. I\u2019m not sure that they were the sort of readers I was after in the first place. The internet really is a very strange place, if you can call it a place. It\u2019s funny to think how much we all use it, when you think how little time it has been there. Children today take it for granted. They can\u2019t believe it wasn\u2019t even around when their parents were children.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
