When you live in a small village finding it on television is something that everyone talks about. We were still doing the whole \u2018Do you remember\u2026\u2019 bit about being on the local news for our Royal Wedding hog roast now everyone is saying \u2018Did you see Escape to the country?\u2019 A lovely house in the village overlooking the village green was their \u2018mystery property\u2019. It really did look as though the people might buy it, but in the end they went for property number two, which wasn\u2019t in our village. It must be funny seeing people looking round your house on the television. Just imagine how much tidying up you would have to do first. The best bit was when their chickens had climbed up onto the window sills and were looking in at the people viewing.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s much better in our house today as there are more people around. Andy is on holiday and my Master has taken a day off so it means more people to play with the dogs and cuddle us all. I really think there should be enough humans in a house to have one available to play with you or stroke you whenever you need it, but not so many of them that you can\u2019t get away from them when you want a nap in peace and quiet. I should imagine that is enough information to justify a big university study to work out exactly what that ratio is. Some clever scientist will one day declare that you should have 2.134 people per dog for an ideal situation. Mind you, if we did have that many, we\u2019d probably still all want to sit with my Mistress anyway!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been giving my Mistress some tips on writing a blog. She has been writing some guest blogs at other writer\u2019s sites. Given I\u2019ve been doing it for over six years and these are her first ones I thought she would be grateful for a few tips. It seems I was wrong!<\/p>\n
