Firstly he gets to sit on my mistress\u2019s knee while she is working and I don\u2019t. She tried saying it is because I don\u2019t fit on her knee quite so easily now. That\u2019s a fair point and it may be true, but I am not happy about the principle of it. I demand an equal right to sit on her knee. The master laughed when he heard me say that, he thinks I\u2019ve been spending too much time with my mistress and am starting to sound like her. What has really upset me though is that when I moved in we had a long discussion about the fact that I was not going to sleep in their bedroom. We also had a long discussion about the fact that I was not going on the settee, but I won that one!&nbsp; Fair enough, I don\u2019t mind too much, I have my own room and I can leave it as messy as I like, which is more than can be said for the master! However, what I am not happy about is that Charlie, the same bear that I was so concerned for, that I was thinking of launching a rescue mission, told me that he does get to sleep in their bedroom. I am not happy about this at all. As far as I\u2019m concerned, microwave or no microwave, Charlie is on his own.<\/p>\n<p>Well diary, I have worked out the nationality of the birds in our garden. There are many different varieties but I think they all come from the same place. You might wonder how I have arrived at my conclusion. Have I for example been reading up on the migratory habits of the robin? Have I studied the direction of the flight path of the nuthatch? No, it has been much less scientific than that. It has all been a simple matter of observation and deduction. I have been watching from my vantage point in the office and notice that they all form an orderly queue along the hedge waiting for their turn on the bird table. They queue up even when there isn\u2019t anything on the bird table. Well it\u2019s obvious isn\u2019t it, behaviour like that they must be British!<\/p>\n<p>My deductions regarding the birds have made me start wondering whether I should consider a career as a detective. I could use my inspired thinking together with my ability to track a scent, there would be no stopping me. \u2018Alfie Puppy from the CID\u2019 sounds quite good doesn\u2019t it, and I am sure it would impress all the girl puppies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Well diary I\u2019m not prone to jealousy but I am starting to lose sympathy with Charlie.
