Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Master, happy birthday to you. Yesterday it was Christmas presents and today we can do it all again with birthday presents. I don\u2019t suppose there will be any more for us dogs, but to be honest we didn\u2019t get through all the ones we had yesterday. There are plans to test each of our dog IQ\u2019s using Shadow\u2019s present. I think from observation that Aris is going to do pretty well.<\/p>\n

So there we were about to put all the bits other than the turkey in the oven when the power went off. The electric power. All the electric power and we don\u2019t have gas in our village. The good news was that it was only off for about 10 minutes, but it certainly took us all by surprise. Sadly, the surge in it either going off or on blew our tv up so there was nothing for anyone to play games on. We seem to have survived without it and it meant there were more people free to play with us. I wanted to bring you lots of photos of us playing with our new toys and some of them are really cool. You might think I have been prevented by the fact of my Mistress\u2019s camera not working, but she hit it against the desk and it seems to have partly cured the problem. So we can take photos, but I still can\u2019t show you as Ari thought the lead wasn\u2019t needed anymore so he chewed through it. He feels a bit foolish now as the camera works but won\u2019t connect to the computer. He\u2019s said he\u2019s sorry<\/p>\n

and says the new lead can come out of his pocket money. Fortunately it doesn\u2019t cost a lost to replace. I said we ought to take a video with sound of him playing with his new squeaky turkey, and that gave my Mistress an idea. She thought she could use the webcam to take a photo, but it didn\u2019t come out very well so she went back to the drawing board. For today she says you can have a photo taken a couple of days ago, but I think she has plans to go to the sales to see what she can get. I presume my demands for one that is easy to get my paws round will have fallen on deaf ears!<\/p>\n
