Today Helen and Emma told me that because of my errant swimming habits I wasn’t to be allowed near the river.
I don’t mind because at least I can still bark in the car.
I barked a lot today and Mutley could see I was having so much fun that he joined in.
Mutley is my hero.
I was barking because Spike was sitting on top of my cage and also there were soooo many cars to herd into a tight circle.
I heard Helen tell Emma (who had her fingers in her ears) that the only way to not hear me and Mutley was to put a tape in and turn the volume up.
Helen put on a tape which she said was Bauhaus and it should be loud enough to not hear me.
It was so loud that the car was throbbing which made me bark more as it was very confusing.
I thought we were under attack from that loud clappy thing that the sky does sometimes.
Helen started to laugh and said that she was sure that the man was singing “I am a dog and I have to pee, I pee everywhere on grass and trees”
Personally it was so loud I don’t know how she could hear a word and his singing was awful.
We at last arrived at the field and boy were we dogs glad, her taste in music is just awful!!
They decided that it would be easier to drive up the track and let us straight onto the field.
HA HA, the car started to slide from side to side and then it nearly got stuck.
We could have been there for ages and not had any bonios.
Helen’s language was not ladylike and I think Emma was starting to wish she hadn’t come on the walk.
They told us that as Spike and I had been so troublesome yesterday that they were going to sit by the tree and that we were to run about and do doggy things.
I don’t know what she means, I was doing doggy things when I was barking!
On the way back I sat in the front with Emma and was very good and very quiet as you can see from my photo.
I let Emma stroke me and Helen said that I am getting better all the time but still needed work.
I don’t know what she means by this as I work all the time at barking, cleaning her windows and washing Mutley’s ears.
I am a very hard worker!
I know that she loves me because, even though I wasn’t eavesdropping, I heard her say that I am her little fruitcake and she is not letting me go to anyone that doesn’t understand Collies.
She said Mark or Griff weren’t to hear this as Mark would think I was going to get a collar with stars on it like Mutley and Spike’s and that Griff said he lived with enough crazy fruitcakes.
I thought fruitcakes were those squashy sweet things that sometimes drop on the floor to be eaten !!
