World Book Night

Last night being Saturday night The Owner, when he left the office turned left out of the gateway and headed to the pub. He had also grabbed my lead on the way out of the door which is another good clue as to what is going to happen. He has found my proper lead now so I don't have to use that 'New one', he made from a number of bits of bailer twine all cobbled together. I have to use a lead when we go there (pub rules) but oh that was so embarrassing! Doesn't he understand I have breeding? Imagine what would have happened if Lady Chocolate Lab had turned up and seen me wearing that!!!! Fortunately we have the good one back again so all is well. We were sat there minding our own business when I had a fear that Strange Lady with the Bags, who you may remember from before when she took up residence in the bus shelter by the village hall, was coming through the door. This hoomun and lady hoomun from down near our end of the village came struggling in with a suitcase full of books and spread them out over one of the tables. Now, The Owner usually uses books for throwing across the room at me, or at least he did before he was in hospital when he was grumpy, so I kept a particularly wary eye on Book Hoomun. Well it would seem that it was World Book Night last night, (I'm not sure if that is good or not yet) and Lady Book Hoomun told everyone who couldn't escape quick enough all about it and insisted they take a book home with them. Well I was beginning to suspect a lot of K9 cruelty across the area last night with the number she was giving out to other hoomuns but it seems that there is another use for them. If you choose, you can read with them as well as throwing them across the room at the family K9.

Good job I had my glasses with me really!
