You have to worry about our Mistress. Yesterday she wore her new sweatshirt for the first time. I don\u2019t know which is worse, the fact that she has it or the fact that she came up with the slogan. Is it any wonder she now thinks she needs to diet and probably is guilty of eating too many cakes? What do you do with her? I\u2019ve suggested she should have a bowl of my food twice a day, carefully measured out as mine is and absolutely no treats. Ok, I\u2019ll relent and let her have half a Bonio at bedtime, which is what we are allowed. Then let\u2019s see if she can end up nice and slim with a glossy coat and a wet nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll all be in bed long before midnight tonight. I don\u2019t think the humans will be, but of course we\u2019ll have the last laugh as we will still expect them to get up at the same time tomorrow to get our breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not sure what\u2019s planned for tomorrow. I think that Alfie is going to write the diary, even though it\u2019s really Wilma\u2019s day. He wants to give you all a New Year message. I think that maybe Wilma did too good a job of the Christmas one so he wants to feel he still has an important role to play. I\u2019m happy just to pad around and do nothing very much. I can take laid back to a whole new level of achievement. I\u2019m more of a brain dog than a get up and be active sort of guy. It\u2019s just that I nap a bit while I\u2019m thinking. So while all of you are off to work out what you\u2019re going to wear for your New Year parties I\u2019m going to check how comfortable my basket it is and which way round I want to face for my naps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great New Year<\/p>\n\n\n\n
