I\u2019ve learnt a bit lesson this weekend. Never get in the way of a man when he\u2019s arguing with a machine. It was Dad v the grass strimmer and from what Mum says it wasn\u2019t their first battle. It ran out of wire. The day was pretty much one hour of strimming and three hours of trying to replace the strimmer wire. He wasn\u2019t in the best of moods by the time he\u2019d finished and you wouldn\u2019t believe how many videos there are on Youtube on how to do it. There were even some which seem to have been recorded by children, which didn\u2019t make him feel any better. I was just glad that my paws were totally unsuited to the task. I just tried to offer him comfort and support where I could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Day on Saturday was fantastic. Mum said it was amazing just watching us all running together. We weren\u2019t all playing the same game when we had free time. I wanted to play chase and Shadow wanted to play ball. I tried to swing it my way by running off with the ball and trying to get everyone to follow me. It might have worked, although Shadow shouted at me for going off with the ball, but then Mum threw a second one so I didn\u2019t spoil their game. What about my game? At least when I run off with the ball I don\u2019t damage it. They broke several balls between them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was really happy that Ari finally met his brother Bernie. I\u2019m seeing Bernie again on Wednesday and it did make me feel a little bit bad that Ari can\u2019t come. He says he doesn\u2019t mind, but I know deep down he does really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone says there is something special about me. I don\u2019t know what they mean. I\u2019m just me. Mum says there is a depth to me and I have the \u2018It factor\u2019. She says if she could bottle it we\u2019d all want some, but for me it\u2019s just the way I was made. I love everyone and everything I meet and it makes it easy to make everyone feel special. This was me trying to help Dad feel better yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a lovely week<\/p>\n\n\n\n
