You cannot believe how excited Aristotle and I are at the prospect of our humans coming home. My first thought today was \u2018I just can\u2019t wait to see them\u2019 and my second through was \u2018I\u2019d better do some clearing up before they come home\u2019. You know how it is, when the human\u2019s away the dog will play and all that. We haven\u2019t done anything too drastic, at least there\u2019s nothing that Aristotle has actually admitted to, but you never can tell with a puppy. In one cruel twist my Mistress has found another boating holiday she would like to go on next year. \u2018Count me out,\u2019 I said, when she started telling me. However, then she told me it was around the waterways of Belgium and at that point my ears pricked up. Oh the torture. I could go to visit my homeland, if I\u2019m prepared to spend two weeks on a boat. How can she do that to me? She knows I\u2019ve said I never want to go on a boat again, not ever, not at all, no way! But Belgium! I want to go back home. In any case, the alternative might be staying at home with Megan, who has not only said she doesn\u2019t want to go on a boat but has been told by the family that she is most definitely not being taken next year. Now choosing between two weeks in close proximity to Megan or two weeks on a boat in Belgium, becomes a much harder choice. Mind you, if I go then Aristotle would have to come too as he\u2019s my buddy and partner in crime. I bet he\u2019ll go overboard, mind you after his swimming lesson my Mistress might be a little less worried about that outcome.<\/p>\n
