Well it\u2019s presents again today. It\u2019s my Master\u2019s birthday. I think he\u2019s the only one that gets to open them this time. We had great fun with ours yesterday. It was mainly an eating thing. In fact the whole day seemed to revolve around food. I barked a few Christmas greetings to those who were passing. Shadow, on the other paw, chose to eat the bathroom bin. It was a wicker bin and by the time she\u2019d finished there were bits of wicker all over the landing and no bottom in the bin. I said it was ungrateful for her when we\u2019d been given such lovely things, but she just shrugged and said she was bored.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve actually been having a few problems with Shadow recently. She is flexing her muscles and trying to make out that she\u2019s top dog. For the most part I can live with it. I\u2019ll back off and leave her to it. But things recently have gone too far. She wants to sit next to my Mistress and that\u2019s my seat. She\u2019s even gone for me a couple of times and not appreciated when my Mistress moves her unceremoniously out of the way. Her worst behaviour was when my Master moved her and she snapped at him. It\u2019s one thing saying she is above me in the pecking order but to get the idea that she is above my Master is really not on. My Mistress had words with her about it, but Shadow just glared at my Master so I don\u2019t think from her point of view that it\u2019s over yet. I\u2019m just a wimp. I rely on my Mistress to safeguard my position in the pack. It does mean I\u2019ve got a bit more clingy but fortunately my Mistress doesn\u2019t seem to mind.<\/p>\n
