Diesel Dog Visits Again

The Owner was giggling to himself all morning and every time he looked at me there was great mirth and laughter. The kind of laughter you get when everyone else has noticed something you have done or are about to do and you haven't yet. The kind of laughter which usually precedes me making a fool of myself again.

All he would say was "Your world is going to get turned upside down today Jack m'boyo" and then much more laughter. I did check in the mirror several times but there was no evidence of breakfast or dead badger stuck in my teeth. You may recall that the weather was warm and the sun was out so I curled up quietly on the prickly mat in the porch and dreamed of running and woofing and stuff like that. Nearly woke myself up several times! I heard a car pull up outside but assumed it was Postman and thought I would have one more quick snooze in the sun before getting up and launching myself down the garden path to protect my territory when there was one hell of a commotion going on and this demonic demented badger launched itself through the gate and up the garden path, over the top of me and into the kitchen. Having taken a quick trip around the kitchen it emerged with two empty tuna tins in it's mouth and looking suspiciously like Diesel Dog. As I came more to my senses I realised it must have been as Diesel Dog Daughter and Very Strange Woman were also getting out of the car. This means an afternoon of manic running up and down the back garden path for no apparent reason I guess. I have to warn now that any attempt by Diesel Dog to climb onto my cushion will be met with an opinion, although fortunately at the moment he seems more intent on bringing all the empty tuna tins from the recycling box back into the house, hotly pursued by Diesel Dog Daughter and Very Strange Woman.
