My Ice Bucket Challenge

I am not impressed today! Yesterday, someone who had hitherto been my friend, nominated ME for the ice bucket challenge. I will now be joining Barney K9, when next I visit, to leave a little present on the lawn I think. I had the feeling that it was really The Owner she had meant, but she definitely said Jack Labrador. That was all the ammunition he needed to form a little plot in his mind. So this morning, before breakfast, unaware of what exactly an 'ice bucket challenge' involved, I had had my wee on the roses (yuk and phew) and was sat in the middle of the lawn contemplating nothing in particular when I hear The Owner puffing and wheezing his way along the path behind me. When suddenly, there was a deluge of ice cold water thrown over me. When I turned round (quickly), he was grinning from ear to ear and fumbling to try and get his camera taking a picture of me. "There you are Jack!" he said triumphantly. "At least you have done it now." Forgive me if I am missing the point here, but what exactly had I done, apart from get very wet and cold? I went back inside contemplating exactly how much worse the day could have got, dribbling water from my coat as I went, when my question was answered for me as he whisked me off my feet and dropped me into a warm bath!!!! "There you are Jack!" he said, "That'll make you feel much better!". Well I am sorry if I sound ungrateful, but I felt perfectly fine until some oaf dropped a bucket of icy water over me, and to cap it off he then dries me off with his comedy duck beach towel and records the event for posterity. Feeling inspired by his effort he is now outside chasing Barney K9 round the cricket pitch armed with another bucket of water, however Barney K9 saw the result of his earlier efforts and is having none of it. His long lead has become entangled with the electric fence in the course of his efforts to escape and whilst Barney K9 is not feeling it because it is either earthing out before it gets as far as him or he is just too dense to notice. When The Owner does catch up with him he may well grab the lead and then.... Oh there was the shout! Yes The Owner has just stopped smiling and will be in momentarily looking a little less perky.
