As a dog there are few things quite as\nstressful as being taken out in the car, strapped into your car harness in the\nfront seat and with the door and window closed finding a cat jumping on the\nbonnet right in front of you to benefit from the engine\u2019s warmth. There you are\non the inside, there is the cat on the outside and there is absolutely nothing\nyou can do about it. Oh you can howl and whine but what you really want to do\nis swipe it with your paw. Swiping the dashboard is not satisfying and if you\npress your nose against the window the cat laughs at you and your mistress gets\ncross for the mess you have made of the window. I think the cat was well aware\nof my imprisonment, they can be quite cruel to us dogs at times. I really can\u2019t\nsee what humans see in them as companions. They are arrogant, independent and\ncondescending and those are just their good points.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Then in 2010 Alfie did make me laugh with\nthis bit<\/p>\n\n\n\n In an interesting day yesterday, it turned\nout that my Master had accidentally bought my Mistress a Christmas card rather\nthan a Valentine\u2019s Card, which he decided not to give her in the end and Shadow\ntook a banana off the table and took it to bed. No one is daring to ask what\nshe planned to do with it, but I\u2019m hoping that peel and eat was the objective.\nAlthough knowing Shadow she was probably more likely to leave the skin\nsomewhere for me to slip on just for the fun of it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And finally from 2014 when Shadow\u2019s third\nlitter were preparing to go off to their homes<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today is T minus 4 and the puppies are 7\nweeks old. They won\u2019t all go on Wednesday, only Cinderella and Cracker but it\nreally isn\u2019t far away now. Their families will be getting very excited waiting\nfor their arrival. The puppies are getting very excited, but obviously\napprehensive as well. Today is worming day so we need to get accurate weights\nso we know how much to give them. The biggest ones will be having a tablet\ninstead of the liquid and the smaller ones the liquid. It will be the first\ntime any of them have been faced with a tablet so that may be an interesting\nchallenge. It\u2019s easy with us, it just gets wrapped in marzipan and we wolf it\ndown. With the puppies that would be harder as they are not yet familiar with\nmarzipan either so might just nibble at the corners which wouldn\u2019t help.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well that\u2019s all from me for today. Have a\ngreat Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bananas to Valentine\u2019s Day<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
