I have decided that it\u2019s all right for dogs to be superstitious but for us it isn\u2019t Friday 13<sup>th<\/sup> that is the worrying day, it\u2019s Thursday 12<sup>th<\/sup>. From a dog\u2019s perspective, it is today I need to avoid going out and exposing myself to risk, so I\u2019m going to spend the day curled up under the duvet and wait for it all to go away. I might venture down for meals if that isn\u2019t too dangerous an activity. I am absolutely not going to talk to the sheep today or go for a walk.<\/p>\n<p>My Master has left us all to manage without him whilst he goes to deal with an emergency in Belgium. Admittedly I miss him and it is much harder work for my Mistress without him about but as I said to her, let\u2019s look on the bright side, firstly I get to side on his side of the bed, which means there\u2019s more room for her feet so we both win. Secondly, he can restock my supply of marzipan. I\u2019ve eaten all the bars we brought back to England when we came in January. I said to my Mistress that I would behave much better in training classes if she\u2019d bribe me with marzipan. There is the small matter of James needing more Choco Bears too but I don\u2019t get to eat any of those so I\u2019m not bothered either way. It is going to be interesting if Customs open my Master\u2019s suitcase and find 20 boxes of Choco Bears. I wonder how he\u2019d explain that one to them. I wonder if they would believe the truth or whether it would be more interesting to make up another story.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>I\u2019ve made a decision about where I stand on superstition.
