成人快手

After my recent misdemeanours I have to report that I am behaving myself better. This week I have been to Dad's work by boat which was great fun. Dad has this romantic notion that he can travel to and from jobs by boat. The fact that it takes longer to get there is neither here nor there. I think Dad has water running through his veins instead of blood - he lived on a canal barge as a tiny tot and has been building/repairing boats ever since he could hit a nail straight. Whenever we go anywhere we always have to go where there is water. In fact my mum and dad used to live on their boat (before my time). Mum is just glad he wasn't interested in railways or she would probably be living up a siding my now!

Was fed up yesterday when Dad didn't take me to work. This is the drawback of having her at home - he leaves me here. She did take me for a walk to the shop which was good. In fact she also bought me a new ball from there the other day so I suppose she is not all bad.

I have also been doing some training with my Mum. I sit in one spot, let her wander on a bit and then run to her when she calls me. She is coping quite well with the training so far - she hasn't run off, tripped up or fallen off the cliff. I think she has a little bit to go yet but she seems to be improving day by day. It is difficult to get these humans to do just what you want them to but, with a bit of perseverance, you can really make them seem almost dog-like. Of course they will never have our intellect or understanding, but I swear they could almost bark to me sometimes. The one worry I have is that they say humans begin to look like their dogs!

Have just been on a lovely long walk with Mum to Ardinamir over on the other side of the island. She has a bit of a sore back and got some new pills from the doc this week so I think she thought it might do her good to go for a walk. It is a gorgeous day and we had a great time. Just one problem - she had the ipod plugged in and began to sing out loud - not a pretty noise. Just because there is no-one about doesn't mean that offensive sounds can be made. Has she not heard the saying "if a tree falls in a forest, but nobody hears it, does it make a noise?" The same could apply to the ipod "if a human howls along to music only they can hear, shouldn't they be certified?" - I await your comments.

Anyway, managed to jump in every ditch where there was any water or mud and had a good time getting messed up. Hopefully will have more adventures to tell you about soon.
