The Car with the Big Exhaust Pipe

Today I got wet on the way to the studio and The Owner was less than charitable about the whole episode! There I was flitting from post to post, doing my best to wee effectively in the face of such inclement conditions, when we got to the pond. Just the other side of the pond is a black car with a very big exhaust pipe which has a great deal to say for itself when it's hoomuns move it I have noticed. The Owner calls it a Scooby Doo and then laughs very loudly, so it must be one of his special jokes which no-one else understands. As I was passing I felt just a quick wee on its bumper may well be in order and so cocked my leg in readiness for the incident. Well, I had no idea its hoomuns were already in it but I soon did when they started it up and it immediately had a great deal to say about everything and blew smoke all over my little boys bits. I was so surprised that I jumped back, well more like ran for my life really. Blind panic just about covered it! I have also noticed how blind panic also removes normal reason from the thought processes! My mind was telling me that the pond is very wet and, like Cat earlier this autumn, I can't walk on water. Blind panic, on the other hand, was telling me that was exactly where I should be running. My mind was of course right and it was proved that I really cannot walk on water and sank without trace. When I surfaced again, coughing and spluttering, I had a liberal sprinkling of pond weed about my person and apart from a car that was laughing loudly at me, all I could hear was The Owner's raucous laughter, ringing in my ears. His laughter, after nearly an hour now, has subsided a little. It is now little more than an occasional chuckle, but none the less hurtful. We are going to the carol singing at the pub later, it will be packed so I will sit under his bench out of sight. I have some very smelly wind I think I may just save for the occasion!
