Wednesday is being declared \u2018Bad dog day\u2019 although to be honest I think it should be \u2018Very bad dog day\u2019. It all started in the afternoon when my Mistress took us outside to go to the toilet. Now I know I don\u2019t like having to go outside in the cold weather, but I know my place. Shadow looked up at her and said \u2018I don\u2019t need to go, can I go back inside please?\u2019 My Mistress being the softy she is agreed and opened the door. Shadow then promptly, when my Mistress wasn\u2019t looking, peed on the hall carpet. My Mistress was furious and was down on her hands and knees clearing up. She had a few words with Shadow and all was quiet for a while.<\/p>\n
After tea, everyone was in different rooms when my Mistress heard the sound of cutlery scraping on a plate. The dishwasher was already running and there was no more room in it, so it was unlikely anyone was clearing away, so my Mistress went to look in the kitchen. There was Shadow, sat up on a chair, licking a plate that had been left on the table, looking for all the world as though she was a human. She was severely reprimanded, the more so as she hadn\u2019t washed her paws before sitting at the table and once again the house was quiet.<\/p>\n
A couple of hours after that, My Mistress looked down to where Shadow was lying under her desk and said \u2018What\u2019s that you\u2019re chewing?\u2019 \u2018Oh nothing\u2019 said Shadow drawing the item to her. It was only then that my Mistress retrieved it to find it was in fact a pair of my Master\u2019s socks that she had taken off my Master\u2019s bed and brought downstairs to EAT! They were no longer much like a pair of socks and definitely past the darning stage. And so ended Bad Dog Day. Shadow has been given a big chew to keep her out of mischief and is being forbidden access to any room unaccompanied. Sadly, as I don\u2019t count as being an accompanying adult (I was there when she stole the socks) I have lost access to lying on my Mistress\u2019s bed all day.<\/p>\n
