Being left out of going to the seaside did not mean I also wanted to be left out of going to the theatre. I said, last year, after my Master and Mistress went to see the Railway Children in York, including a live steam train, that if they went again, I wanted to go. Now they\u2019ve been again and still without me. My Mistress did remind me that last time I went near a live steam train it frightened the life out of me when it suddenly let off steam, but I was prepared to give it another go. I\u2019m now old enough to sit through a production and not be an embarrassment to them. Let\u2019s face it, they took a seven year old boy with them and if it\u2019s good enough for him, then why not me? I didn\u2019t fancy walking round York beforehand, but it would have been a good opportunity to find out where I need to go for my photo shoot.<\/p>\n
Shadow is now six months old and is likely to come on heat at some point. Every time I try playing with her James seems to think I\u2019m trying to mount her. Now let\u2019s get a little bit realistic shall we. First of all, we play rough and tumble all the time and that doesn\u2019t mean that I want to mate with her. Secondly, I can\u2019t! What kind of cruel joke does he think it is to accuse me of such antics? Those privileges were removed when I was very young! They say that the thought can still be there, but in my case, I don\u2019t think I can even manage that. Much as I might like to bring puppies of my own into the world, it\u2019s never going to happen. Instead, I will take my role of playmate and protector seriously and will be a surrogate dad when the real father is too busy to play with his own puppies!<\/p>\n
