Cockerel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh it\u2019s all right for the cockerel. He crows first thing in the morning and people just think it\u2019s his job. No one says, \u2018Shut up, cockerel,\u2019 or \u2018Go back to bed, cockerel.\u2019 No one complains if he keeps going. No! They just think he\u2019s enthusiastic about his work. When I perk up at that time of the morning do I get any thanks for it? No, not at all. It doesn\u2019t matter that Shadow starts it. She\u2019s Daddy\u2019s golden girl. It\u2019s me that gets told off for joining in and not stopping. I get no thanks, no congratulations for preventing them oversleeping. It really is not fair at all. The least I should be offered is extra breakfast for having tried so hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian Cooking<\/h2>\n\n\n

The humans spent yesterday learning to do some Italian cooking. Yet again, injustice. Not only was I not asked if I would like the opportunity to learn how to make pasta, but I didn\u2019t get to eat any of what they made! It is starting to occur to me that these holiday things are all one sided. We\u2019re invited along but not with any real intention of taking our views into account. We just have to tag along and behave ourselves. Then they wonder why we rebel. I\u2019m only going to stay quiet about these things for so long. Then I\u2019m going to entertain myself by pretending to defend my territory or warding off anyone who come too close. Apparently scaring people is not an acceptable form of entertainment, but I have to say I do occasionally get a lot of satisfaction from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine Tasting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On a similar note I was not invited to the wine tasting. Why ever not? I\u2019m not averse to a lap of wine if my Master leaves his glass in an accessible position. I should correct that, I was invited by the person whose vineyard it was, it was Mum who said I couldn\u2019t go. It\u2019s not like the fact I\u2019m not supposed to drink it most of the time is a good excuse as she doesn\u2019t either. She said that she wanted to buy some of their olive oil instead. That\u2019s the thing with humans, they always seem to have an answer when you point out you\u2019re being unjustly treated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we\u2019re setting off in the car again and have to reach today\u2019s destination before the football starts this afternoon. Perhaps it\u2019s time for Mum to start driving like the Italian drivers or let me take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
