It's raining today. I don't like it when it rains. I don't get to go anywhere fun!
Now that the weather is warmer my uprights have been taking me in the car more often. I love going places in the car, there's so many new things to see and smell. My especial favorite trip is going in the car to Brunetti's coffee shop.
We drive to the coffee shop and sit outside at a table on the footpath. Lots of people stop and talk to me and pat me while my uprights drink coffee and Italian hot chocolate. And then if I'm really good I get a little bit of the Italian pastry that they've selfishly scoffed down between them. I really think it would be more fair if we went thirds, but it never happens.
Well, I've decided that really this is how things should be all the time. As I've just mentioned my uprights are selfish! They have the cheek and the gall to go for car trips without me. So this week I hit on a plan!!! Whenever the baby gate that stops Rastus and I from getting out of the living area is ajar, I run and wait in the corridor that leads to the front door. You see then there's NO WAY the uprights can not understand that I'm coming too.
They've started offering me biscuits to go on my bed. And I WONT, no way! Bed is boring I'm going for the car trip thanks. Today my Mom did something surprising, she just left me in the corridor and went out the back door then round to the front and off in the car.
Harumph!! The nerve.
I forgave her when she got home though. And waited excitedly right inside the front door for her to come in. Rastus came down too. She didn't look too pleased when she realised she'd forgotten to shut the baby gate after me, so Rastus went and slept on the bed. I think he might have ruined everything actually.
She was muttering something about "not all beer and skittles" and "have to go to work and earn the dog food." And worse ....... more "in your bed" training.
Does anyone have a job for an old english sheepdog? I'm happy to go to work everyday if I get to ride in the car! A job with Italian pastries involved would be nice but I'll consider any offer.
