Why are my humans arranging anything in a place where no dogs are allowed? They\u2019ve got four of us. Mum has got her book launch today and it\u2019s being held in a big museum. Why do they think I wouldn\u2019t want to see the dinosaurs every bit as much as Dad does? Ok, granted there would be a risk of me gnawing on one of the bones and that\u2019s something I\u2019ve rarely known Dad do\u2026 except spare ribs, he quite likes those. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the problem is that Mum has been worried by the\ncartoon that does the rounds, where there is a book signing with two tables.\nThere is a sign saying \u2018meet the author\u2019 with no people queueing and one saying\n\u2018meet the author\u2019s dog\u2019 with a long queue. That\u2019s me, I\u2019m the author\u2019s dog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking after Aristotle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My job for the weekend is to cheer Aristotle up. When three of us are left behind, because Shadow now likes to share with Alfie, Aristotle is left out and he\u2019s not enjoying it. It\u2019s not as though he really liked having to share with his mother, but now he hasn\u2019t got her he has realised she wasn\u2019t so bad. Mind you, after a weekend with me I suspect Aristotle won\u2019t think his own company is so bad either. It\u2019s funny how much he minds being pounced on these days. When I was a puppy he seemed much more up for pouncing. I guess he is eight years old now and maybe I shall go off pouncing by then. I did find it a bit much when my nephew, Gromit, tried jumping on me recently, so Aristotle may have a point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Excluded I\u2019ve been excluded and I\u2019m not happy. \u2018I\u2019m sorry, Wilma, but no dogs are allowed.\u2019 As an excuse that simply doesn\u2019t cut it.
