Cheated. That's how I feel today. I was watching Crufts last night and listened to all the chatter about tails and docking. So I could have had a WHOLE tail and not HALF a tail? Huh!I didn't have the choice. No-one asked me if I wanted a short one. And they said it didn't hurt at all. Huh! How do they know that? They're not dogs. I FELT mine being docked even although I was only days old. It HURT! But it's too late for me. Mine is gone. At least it'll never happen again to anyone like me. That's some comfort. To think I could have had a long swishy tail to waggle? I was born too soon!
Oh-oh.....I can hear the thoughts of mamaray....... clipping scissors in her mind. Time to make myself scarce. Under the table out of sight and out of mind. Just as well I don't have a big tail really-more difficult to hide!

I may not be a geek, but I know a wee bit about geeky things. We have eons of them around us. They get more of my mamas' time than I ever do. You know if I put a box over my head and made a screen on the front like a monitor, I'd maybe get a look-in now and again!
What is so wonderful about computers anyway? Over-rated. That's what I think.
Anyway, today was a thoreoughly geeky day. From the moment those two opened their four eyes, the screens were open and there they sat. Glued to them. Never even looked my way other than to throw me my breakfast and let me have my ablutions outside for a minute or two. As for a WALK? Not on the agenda today. No way! Can't imagine what all the activity is about. Something to do with pensioners, whatever they are. Must be very important people given the time they're spending.
Oh-oh! Signs of change. One of the mamas has put down the lid. The other's still at it though. Will she EVER stop? Had to run for cover a couple of times today when the air around the screen went blue! She did get in a strop. I ask you is it worth it? She'd be much better stroking me and getting the old BP down a bit.
Oh-oh! I think she's going to stop. Keeps looking my way thoughtfully. Yes the screen is black. Now the lid is closed. Give yourself a shake dog. Be alert. There might be a walk on offer soon. A wee cry or two just to make sure you're noticed!
Success! Just shimmy along towards the door and look hopeful. A wee scratch. Another wee cry. Sniff around at their feet a bit.
YES! She's noticed. Up on her feet. Making for the door. I MIGHT be in luck..........Now where's that lead?

They left me. Said they were going into town and I would be better here. Maybe I should be the judge of that! After all this is NOT somewhere I'm used to being. I'm a country boy. Don't like it here. Much too busy. Too much traffic. Too much noise. No peace whatsoever. Even when I go upstairs and find a nice wee comfy place under a bed, there's noise. The water-heater drones; the computer that's always on suddenly gives an ear-cringing bleep; car doors crash and enormous lorries screech to a stop. Honestly, how's a dog supposed to get any shut-eye!

I knew there was something going on the minute they packed up the disco.I followed them and made my presence felt. Sitting on top of computer bags is NOT comfortable. I thought they were supposed to be leaving them behind to give their eyes and brains a rest. Can't part with them for a minute. What is it about these women of mine and their laptops. You'd think I'd be enough to satisfy their laptop needs, cuddly and loveable character that I am! Hey ho!
Anyway, they packed the lot and then came back for me. YES! I got myself into the blessed nose harness and made for the disco door.
Well, we went off at a lick. Didn't take the turn-off to GrandmaRay's, so maybe we were going to see Ev. Nope. Heading further afield today. Time for a wee snooze at MamaRay's feet...zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Hey! We've stopped. Time to have a look-see. Oh-oh.
I know where we are.Yes. I know where this is. Oh-oh. If this is where I think it is, I'm in for it. One small human I can handle, but THREE is just a bit much for one wee spaniel. But there are advantages.....THREE lots of extra titbits, especially from the smallest one. He just LOVES to give me tasty bites...within reach he is, just need to stretch up a little and I can nibble out of his hand if he's not looking. There they are!
Wag the tail Dougal, your day is about to be made! Right come on mamas, get the door open. Forget the lead, I won't run away-too much to lose!
Come on big lad, open that door and let me in! I could do with some relief after that long journey. HEY! Funny sniffs around here, and I can hear another canine woof. Mmm.Take care Dougal old chap. Fools rush in and all that woof.
YIKES!!!! He's a big lad. Friendly though. Wants to play. I can handle that. Let me have a pee first though!!
OK OK biglad. Enough of the sniffing my parts. You've had a good whiff, so let me get to those boys and their droppings!
HEY! I didn't nip you so DON'T you nip me!
OK OK this is YOUR house. Give me a break! I only want a peaceful life.
How long are we staying then?
Not quite sure I'll settle here with this biglad.A bit on the big side for my liking, and a bit too IN MY FACE!!!
Suppose he'll get friendlier with age, after all he's only a puppy, and this is HIS house. Excuse me, but I am sleeping upstairs and not down here?????????????

Wee dogs like me are not supposed to have to make such big decisions in life like....Where do I sleep!.....so much choice....so many beds....so many people!....then there's Wanda to think about, mind you she likes her own space.
Food opportunities have increased aswell....the trick is just to stare up at someone with my sad eyed look and they fall or it.
