The Little Visitor

Yesterday mum said


 "We are having a little visitor for a couple of hours today."

So I opened my eyes and thought,

"Well Simbah is here and he is very cool, so how hard can another dog be?"

What Mum didn't say was that it was a human little visitor.  It was male human pup!

He runs.

He grabs and open things that I would NEVER be allowed to open.

He leaves mess.

Then he wanted to play chase the dog.............which was me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Simbah has had experience with human pups as he split long before I knew what was going on.

And just when I was about to snooze in the best hiding spot in the world
(Joseph's room because you cant see me in the mess), the pups parents have come back and Mum calls out,

" We are  ALL going for a  walk down the beach"

Have you ever walked a human pup?

They are hopeless.

They are slow.

They have to stop and sniff and touch anything that takes their fancy. They are worse than poodles.

Me and Simbah were going mad.

Then the pup throws himself in the  lagoon.

And your hoping the humans are watching him as swimming doesn't come natural to humans as it does to hounds.

And they look like they are watching and the pups mother was with him. But do they know the lagoon like me and Simbah?

In the end I just sat, yes SAT, ( ready to leap if need be) and watched the lot of them as it was all a bit too casual.

And did I tell you they have a three legged dog as well. I can honestly say there is no disability with this boy except with swimming in the lagoon

And he swims in a longatudinal sinking way.

I tell you by the time we all got home and everyone left, Simbah collapsed into bed

And I couldn't move any of my finely tuned muscles including my Serina Williams butt.

Human pups are hard work, but when you have to watch the humans too, it more than a hound and a terrier can bare.

man flu and consquences

Our house has been hit by man flu.

First it was mum.

It was very bad, but she is on the way to recovery

Now dad has it and  its really bad.He just lays on the lounge listening to sport.

So how is this bad for me?  Mum cant take me for a walk.  I mean I would look silly taking myself.      











Patrick took me one day, but since he is an amateur, I decided to take my self off  and since I couldn't hear him calling me to stop and I thought he was saying,
"Off you go Rosie as far as you like"
I decided to go and sniff the dog pee of Copa beach
To my surprise later on I found out that  wasnt what he was saying,

        When he caught up to me he wasn't happy.

We went home and Patrick told Mum and I had to sit outside to reflect on my behaviour and the consequences to me Patrick,  Mum and the community in general.

    
Then Dad took me to My best friend Tyson's and we ran the Yattalunga greyhound track for ages.

  Tyson is great.  He is cunning and fast and the best thing is he doesn't want to fight me or make baby's with me. We just run and run and he knows all sorts of quick snazzy swerves and flips.  I reckon he could spin on his head if he wanted.  He is a very talented dog.                                 




         

 So as you can imagine a hound thinks,  all is good all,  is forgotten about going to Copa and making Patrick deranged with frustration and anger

But the worst is yet to come.  Mum has decided that since I was a disobedient hound with Patrick, 

"our next walk will be on a short lead with" 

me

"doing as I am told and only after"

 mum

"sees that"

I

"am going to be responsible  will"

she

"let me off the lead."

   Yeah yeah
But more importantly .  I found a mattress on the floor that dad slept on  in the office when mum was sick and and its really really comfy, so I think I have man flu and will stay here

           Well that's what I am hoping .
