She was only dancing on her own round the lounge. Dancing might be a minor exaggeration as to say she has two left feet would be an understatement, to say she has two rather large left feet would be a more accurate assessment of the situation. What is a dog to do in that situation? You might think that the best thing is to curl up in your basket and put your paws over your eyes, but I get see an opportunity to take part in the spectacle and with my master away, never let it said that I renege on my responsibilities. If my mistress needs a dancing partner, then as long as she doesn\u2019t stand on my paws, I am prepared to volunteer. So I ran and got my ball and went and joined her. It was rather fun, chaotically running through her legs and then round in circles. I\u2019m not sure we are ever likely to win \u2018Come Dancing\u2019 but we had a great time.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m actually feeling very virtuous this morning. A chocolate bell fell off the Christmas tree and was just sitting on the floor begging me to eat it, but I said \u201cNo chocolate bell, I\u2019m on a diet, you can\u2019t tempt me that easily.\u201d I did have to get my mistress to move it fairly urgently as I don\u2019t think I would have held out for very long. To be honest if it weren\u2019t for the fact that it is so fiddly trying to get silver paper off with my paws, I don\u2019t suppose I would have managed to hold out at all. I would eat it with the silver paper but the taste really isn\u2019t good and you find bits of the foil between your teeth for days.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>My mistress has lost the plot.
