Just my luck. \u201cBe a good dog and sit in the back looking after Ari, please Alfie.\u201d I wanted to sit in the front with my Mistress or at worst in the back and watch the DVD with the others, but no, I get to travel in the boot with the puppy that whines in the car. ON a short journey my Mistress sings to the puppies to keep them calm and quiet, but if she thinks I\u2019m singing to a fourteen week old puppy for the whole of a 140 miles each way journey then she is sadly mistaken. 140 miles of ‘are we nearly there yet?’ will get a bit much too. He might be grateful he’s in a crate if he gets really annoying!<\/p>\n
There\u2019s another problem as well. Ari is too small to see out of the window and will spend the whole time saying \u201cWhat can you see, Alfie? Is the next one a red car or a blue car?\u201d The only blessing is that playing I-spy is a very short lived game when the main thing he can see is the inside of a crate. \u201cSomething beginning with \u2018b\u2019\u201d Er, blanket. \u201cSomething beginning with \u2018t\u2019\u201d Er toy. \u2018Something beginning with \u2018c\u2019\u201d Er crate \u2013 and that\u2019s about it. I suppose when you think about it like that you can understand the little chap getting bored. It\u2019s his first long distance journey so it\u2019s all a little bit exciting in a bouncy puppy sort of way. We are off to see my grandparents and what I must remember when we get there is not to get my rubber chicken out to play with. It has lasted me ages as I\u2019m the only one who plays with it. The one I had here for Christmas was destroyed by Aristotle in the space of around 24 hours. His little turkey is fine. Oh yes, no damage done to that. Mine has had to go in the bin to stop him eating it.<\/p>\n
I was hoping to bring you some pictures with my new camera before we set off, but it hasn\u2019t been delivered. It was supposed to be coming yesterday but the company seem to have let us down. My Mistress wasn\u2019t at all happy as she\u2019d paid extra for the \u2018next day delivery\u2019 option. They have said they will refund the money but that isn\u2019t the point. You pay for that option not because you want the money back but because you wanted your item delivered. It\u2019s times like these that it is a pain not being able to \u2018collect from store\u2019 very easily as there are no stores near where we live. Maybe tomorrow.<\/p>\n
