We had to go and collect my master from the airport yesterday afternoon. I said I didn\u2019t understand why he hadn\u2019t come in the car with us but apparently he was still working. Now he has to wrap presents as well. He probably wishes he was still working. We are having Christmas dinner tonight even though it is two days early, we are leaving granny and granddads tomorrow so we won\u2019t be here on the actual day. My cousins will be here again but unfortunately Dudley isn\u2019t coming so I won\u2019t be able to spend the evening running in circles round the coffee table trying to catch him. I have been told I am not allowed to knock my mistress\u2019s elderly aunt over either, nothing like spoiling a puppy\u2019s fun. My master upset me the other day by saying I don\u2019t really count as a puppy anymore. I pointed out he wasn\u2019t still young either but we all like something to hide behind. I am staying a puppy for as long as I can get away with. Human children don\u2019t really stop being children until they are at least teenagers, so by my reckoning that gives me until about September time.<\/p>\n
Following on from the appraisal a week or two ago, my mistress has now suggested introducing Team Briefs to raise morale and make me feel more included. Apparently, once a month she will sit me down and tell me what is going on and I get a chance to ask questions. She clearly doesn\u2019t realise I go through everything on her desk when I sit down to use the computer and already know more of her personal things than she would appreciate. It is a good job that I am not by nature the blackmailing type really!<\/p>\n
