I\u2019m getting stressed just watching my Mistress this week. She really doesn\u2019t know if she is coming or going. (I prefer the Australian expression for that \u2013 she doesn\u2019t know if she\u2019s Arthur or Martha!) Anyway, she keeps rushing off and telling me I\u2019m in charge and to keep an eye on Shadow while she\u2019s gone. What does she think I\u2019m going to be able to do if Shadow goes on the rampage? I tend to go for the approach of spending my time either sleeping or surfing the internet when she\u2019s out. Every so often, Shadow will bounce up and say \u201cCome and see what I\u2019ve done\u201d or \u201cDo you want a came of tug? Come on wuss I bet I can beat you.\u201d To be honest, that second approach is quite effective as I have some pride to maintain.<\/p>\n
There is going to be a puppet show in our village hall. I have asked whether it is possible for me to go. Unfortunately it is when my Mistress is going to Switzerland to see Megan, so she will not be able to take me. I tried asking my Master but he will have Andy to look after and he doesn\u2019t like puppets. Shadow is a bit too young to appreciate it, so unless I can persuade James to take me, I may have to go on my own. I was also please to hear that we are going to have another Fun Day. I asked if I could have a go on the plate smashing, although with the lack of opposable thumbs, I may need some assistance. I wonder whether my Mistress will volunteer to run the coconut shy again or whether this year she will try something different. I\u2019m quite sure my Master will want to take part in the egg throwing again.<\/p>\n
