Never mind the fact that I have a free six weeks supply of a joint care product that is also very tasty from the lovely people at Pedigree Pet Foods, that is just incidental to the beautiful yellow rucksack with my name embroidered on it. To be fair, it is a human rucksack and I am having difficulty putting it on, but that is not the point. I\u2019d much rather my Mistress carried everything for me than have to do it myself anyway. I\u2019ve got a ball thrower and some balls too and a I\u2019m not sharing them with the others. They are mine, all mine and I\u2019m a very happy dog. I\u2019m slightly alarmed by the fact that I am going to be videoed playing ball. I may have to suck my tummy in for the photos but then we all know the camera adds 10 pounds so I\u2019m sure allowances will be made. My Mistress said she\u2019d read all the paperwork to me later and then we can make a start. I\u2019m really rather excited. The delivery man didn\u2019t know whether he should ask for me in dogson when he came to the door, seeing as the parcel was technically addressed to me. I did offer to sign but he didn\u2019t seem to know how to react to that. I think he was worried he might be in trouble back at the depot. Some people don\u2019t know how to let their hair down and live a little.<\/p>\n
Aristotle has got the hump that he doesn\u2019t have a rucksack. To be honest it was more the chews that he was after. He said he would have stamped his paw if it weren\u2019t for the fact it would have hurt his bad leg. He pointed out that it was really him that has the joint problem, but he\u2019s only ten months old so he isn\u2019t included. He got his own back. He took all the treats down off the side when my Mistress wasn\u2019t looking and shared them out between him and Shadow. He usually shares things with me, so I was left in no doubt that I was in trouble.<\/p>\n
