It\u2019s so hard for a poor boy to take. My girlfriend, Bella, has been at it again. She\u2019s gone off with another dog. Oh I know I want there to be more Entlebuchers in the country, but why can\u2019t it be another girl who has a litter rather than my girlfriend? She is away in Germany meeting her new bloke. It was no consolation to be told he looked like me when I was younger. Well I look like me now! I\u2019ve remained faithful to her all these years, but just because I can\u2019t give her puppies she thinks it\u2019s ok to toy with my emotions. I can only hope it\u2019s worth it and that when she\u2019s had her fun she\u2019ll come back to me knowing I\u2019ll always be here for her. I\u2019m that sort of a dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow tried to cheer me up by saying she\u2019d had a fling or two in her time and it doesn\u2019t always mean anything. I didn\u2019t take much comfort from that to be honest and just wondered how Shadow could be so fickle. Wilma was more comfort telling me she will always love me, but we have a very different relationship than I had with Bella. Wilma looks up to me like a father and she\u2019s the puppy I never had. Bella had always been the only girl that made me wish upon stars and hear music playing when I saw her. Humans don\u2019t always realise what they put us through. There are times that it really isn\u2019t easy being a dog. Aristotle said I should be more like him and love them all equally. He\u2019s an easy come easy go sort of boy, but when I fall in love I bestow my whole emotions on the girl, much as I have done with our Mistress too. I\u2019m just going to sit here and lick my wounds for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
