Do you think that being the best at something is challenge to rise too? Apparently I\u2019m the best at being a naughty puppy that my Mistress has ever had. To be fair I\u2019m only her fifth puppy but I\u2019m doing particularly well on the naughty scale. I think it\u2019s because I\u2019m the spoilt baby of the house, but it isn\u2019t as though I am allowed to get away with anything. It\u2019s just that I copy all the things the others do and then add puppy behaviour on top of it. I\u2019m not doing well on house training, but that is sheer laziness on my part. I exceeded all expectation on that front yesterday and was in serious trouble. I was lying on the settee in the office, which thankfully is principally a dog settee and I woke up needing the toilet.

am told that I am the only dog my Mistress has ever seen do this and apparently it is not all right! I just raised my sweet little behind off the settee and peed where I was. I didn\u2019t even bother standing up completely. Boy, was I told off. It has been made clear to me in no uncertain terms that that is not acceptable behaviour in a puppy or any other age of dog. As my Mistress saw me do it she was able to get to the puddle before it soaked through the cover and I\u2019ve done no permanent harm, but it has been explained to me that I am not to do it again. Then there\u2019s the shoes. It\u2019s only one particular pair that my Mistress puts on to take us outside. There is just something about them. I keep carrying them off and nibbling the laces. I haven\u2019t actually done any damage yet, which is more than can be said for the cable to the camera or the rubber turkey that Alfie was given for Christmas, neither of which resemble their former identities. I\u2019m as fast as lightning if there is a gap I want to get through and poor Mr Happy has seen better days. However, I am incredibly cute. I am very cuddly. I\u2019m doing really well on my training when we go out, although I save peeing and pooing for being at home, and I pick things up quickly \u2013 just not always the right things! What can I say, I\u2019m a puppy!<\/p>\n
