It\u2019s all very well all this good weather but it ruins rhymes like the one about \u2018April showers\u2019. Now, I know strictly speaking it is already May, but I didn\u2019t think about it last week. We haven\u2019t had much rain for ages. On the downside it means it is still getting very cold at night and my Mistress can\u2019t plant out all the little seedlings she has grown safely. I suppose I should stop peeing on the things she has planted but it\u2019s always better to have a target and a little green plant is ideal. The girls don\u2019t really understand such important issues but to us boys considerations of that nature are paramount. There is one particular spot I like. It\u2019s a fuchsia. It\u2019s unfortunate that it\u2019s the next one along from the one that the girls dug up as that spot may be a little bare. I don\u2019t fancy the chances of the bulbs that have been put in along there either. I think where a dog is concerned, the only sensible suggestion is to plant a very large number of plants in the hope that there is a limit to the number they can destroy and so by process of elimination some will survive to maturity. The only other solution is not to plant anything and accept that if you have three dogs they are going to ruin the back garden. You wouldn\u2019t believe our grass was new last year! In places it just doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n
My Mistress has started the process of transferring my blog. She is already fed up and she has only got as far as March 2006. I\u2019ve offered to help but to be fair I did add the words \u2018if I have to\u2019 as a way of expressing my enthusiasm. I\u2019m sure she will get it all done eventually.<\/p>\n
