Refinement

Mum is starting to doubt that I am an actual real dog... I have been telling them forever that I am not a dog I am a little person but they never listen anyway, so at least it is good that she is starting to doubt.

So what made Mum start to see the light you will ask me?... Well last time we were going for a stroll through the neighbourhood. At the end of our street Mum suddenly went all "ohhh" "poor little thing" blah blah blah. So I looked at what she was looking at. And it appeared that a blue tongue lizard met his maker as they say. The blue tongue was dead as a dodo with no obvious trace of damage. Not sure what happened to him... However, I went to have a little sniff. So do not be alarmed I sometimes go and sniff dead things if they are still in a rather entire state. I DO NOT go close to decomposing things ewwwwww!!!!! I still do not touch the entire dead things, just sniff. Would you put dead things with all the feathers/skin/entrails still on/in in your mouth?? I need things to be alive and running for fun, or a bit of processing and presentation for my food please!...

Anyway, usually I just take a sniff and walk on, I am not sure what it was in this case but gosh just one sniff made me a bit queasy... Yes right Mum stop making faces and dobbing me in... Alright I just got overtaken by nausea and had a right chuck while looking rather pitiful... Happy now Mum? I said it.... It is not my fault if I am a sensitive little thing.
Now Mum is saying that I am poncey and not a tough boy and that maybe we need to go in the countryside for a bit because I am too much of a city-slicker....
Whatever Mum when you are finished with your metaphysical questions, I need my pedicure after my spa so if you are looking for me I will be listening to the radio on my day bed...

A pup has to do what a pup has to do...

Well you see, I got a bit jealous a few days earlier... Hearing from all those pups on twitter who are allowed on the big bed with their minions, I decided to make a break for it. Dad was away up north playing with other dogs (humpfffff!!!) and it was the last night of him being away... So when Mum told me to go on my bed after we were calling it a night, I jumped straight up on the big bed uninvited and dropped down quickly into a tiny curled up ball on Dad's spot... RESULT!!
Unfortunately, Mum didn't see the cuteness and fun side of it and I got unceremoniously thrown out...  Even with my bestest puppy eyes and ears, her cold frozen heart did not melt the tiniest bit... Darn woman!! *sigh* I think I have to try that on Dad when we're alone together, he wouldn't push me off the big bed for sure!

I'm hungry...

The minions are always making food for themselves and never give me anything... ahem... yes it's true, I am a poor starving pup!!! So I have to invent new ways of making them know that I am a tad peckish... I have tried the whine, the gentle nose poke, the open tap drool... It takes a lot of effort!

So lately I have found a variant: the drool bubble!! 

behold the mighty drool bubbler!

This takes a lot of mastery in drooling technique, it is not for the novice pup!! And so far it has been quite efficient... look at what I scored! What uh yes Mum... that is your omelette... for now...

T'is too hot

There has been some really hot weather lately. I know I have short fur, but I still do not like it when it is in the 30s˚C. Nothing you can do except sweat, pant and get sunburnt. I don't want to get my poor nose sunburnt! Ouch! And another issue is that the stones and roads get hot and it roasts my paw pads!! So the only thing to do is to snooze, preferably under the fan. You have to find the right comfortable position though. It can take a bit of effort... 

quite comfy but would be better if I had
the space to stretch my head

The minions laughed at me because I was wriggling so much that I rolled off the sofa... Several times... The first time Dad was underneath me. That cushioned the landing if you see what I mean... The time after that, I heard a bit of a rush of movement of what sounded like my bed before I got rudely awaken while falling... Oh weird my bed was underneath me, thought I left it across the room...

I'm HOT, whine... I want to go in the pool, whine...

Anyway, looks like the hot weather is going to continue for a few more days, it's too much! Can I go in the pool now please?

They've gone back :(

I don't like January... I have loads of fun with the minions during the Christmas/New Year break because they take a few days off work. It's tiring to have them all day here at home, but it is great to be able to beg for treats and cuddles whenever you feel like it throughout the day. Normally, I have to wait until they come back in the evening... However, this year, as you can see from my previous posts, there has been some naughty behaviour from the minions... They went out, did gardening and tried to not pay attention to me, also played with new pets without me... Even worse, I have even heard that they went to the beach without me!!! That is unforgivable!! TUT TUT TUT!!!!

But now they went back to work a couple of weeks ago. At first I was happy to have a bit of peace and quiet for my beauty sleep, but now I'm bored... so I have decided that I am sulking... That will teach them!
