Dog to dog blog: wasting my time

Hi guys

I really don’t know why I bother. I drag out here every Tuesday to look after the AGPs and to get some exercise and all they do is make excuses about how we can’t go in the fields 'cos it’s too wet and we can’t go on the towpath 'cos it’s too muddy and so we can’t go in the copse 'cos we can’t get there.

All I’ve had is two walks round the marina. The first one wasn’t so bad as we met my friend Katie and went round together. This means the humans get their nattering fix on the move instead of stopping for ages to chat. The second one was a complete frost, though. Just a straight plod round in the freezing cold wind. No one to talk to, no chasing stuff, no one fell over, in fact nothing to laugh at at all.

Back in the boat it’s been nothing but sitting around. The AGPs claim to have had a "bad night" – what is it with humans and sleep? Us hounds can sleep anywhere, anytime there’s nothing better to do, but humans have to have special times and places to do it and get all grumpy if they can’t manage.

Mummy hasn’t even got an evening class tonight, so I’m not sure why I’m here at all, we’ll just go back home afterwards.

Oh well, if I can make Mum feel a bit guilty maybe she’ll give me the new bone to scoff. I’m told that there are special treats from Step Mum Sue on the way, but they haven’t turned up yet. Maybe next week…

Take care guys

Loads of licks
