\"\"<\/a>I don\u2019t think I thought this through. Oh yes, the stroller is amazing. It is very comfortable, very well made, very smooth. There\u2019s just one tiny little problem. I built it in the kitchen and now I\u2019m going to have to dismantle the house in order to get it outside. To be honest there are two tiny little problems. The second is that my Mistress is going to have to buy a bigger car if she\u2019s going to take it anywhere for Ari to use. Ok, I\u2019ll own up, there\u2019s a third problem \u2013 we\u2019re going to have to sell my little car to make room for it in the garage. So, in summary, on the bright ideas scale it\u2019s right up there with eating cat poo and barking so much I got grounded. If we can get it out of the house we could use it as an extra room, or pull it behind the car as a trailer. I\u2019m doing my best here. What is certain is the next time anyone goes in the kitchen they are going to know I\u2019ve been on the internet shopping again!<\/p>\n

There has been a funny thing happening the last few days. I don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s because I\u2019m the leader of the Pet Dogs\u2019 Democratic Party or a bet, but a whole load of political groups in the US seem to have started following me on Twitter. Now, I realise they may be coming up to elections and this may just be indicative of their preference for me to stand as one of their candidates, but guys, you\u2019re freaking me out. I\u2019m not eligible to be president of the United States. I could stand in Belgium, or the UK but I don\u2019t have US citizenship. Besides which I\u2019m a dog! Now I know you have been known to choose some very strange candidates, but in these times of austerity are you really ready to introduce the minimum wage for working dogs and give all dogs, both working and pet, full medical insurance and pension. No! I thought not.<\/p>\n
