Well may you ask (and some have) what's happening with Rogernald Dogue - why isn't he writing so regularly? To be totally honest, he is a bit tired. Ever since Young Elliot arrived, my sleep hasn't been what it was. Young Elliot tends to wake up through the night - just this morning at 5:30am I was up with Master Craig getting Young Elliot ready for yet another of his feeds. It's not like the old days when I could just sleep through the night!
Also, when baby's awake, you just can't turn up the TV or go play on the computer - Young Elliot just screams look at me, play with me, change me.... Luckily, I haven't had to change too many nappies - Mistress Liz believes that I'm too dirty to change a baby who does poos in his pants - really. It's only when Mistress Liz is out that Master Craig lets me in the house and I change Young Elliot's nappies (I let Master Craig have a few games on the computer whilst I change Elliot).
I don't mind changing young Elliot, but the poo really does smell a bit. I know that people complain very loudly when they get dog poo on their shoe, but I'd really hate to get baby poo on my paw! It was OK whilst Baby Elliot was only on breast milk - but to bulk him up he needed formula as well. I can't wait till he starts on solids.... At that stage I think that Young Elliot's namesake should start pulling her weight in the baby world!
I'm a bit annoyed with Master Craig at the moment.
It's not the lack of walking that's upsetting me (we've actually been on 3 walks in about the last 5 days - not a bad average for us) - but Master Craig glibly announced that there is no doggy holiday this year. We normally get to go to the in-laws for our hols, but this year (due to Young Master Elliot) we get to stay home - hip hip hooray....
I said to Master Craig that Ellie and I would like to hop a plane and fly to Disneyland (the original one in Florida). Master Craig said that if dogs were meant to fly then God would've given us boarding passes - our Master Craig is a real card.
Ellie and I would just love to go to Disneyland - we hear that they have mice there that are bigger than people - we could feast for a week on one of those. I also have a soft spot for poor old Pluto - I'd love to go lift a leg with him on a few of the posts there.
Instead - we get a summer of Master Craig, Mistress Liz and Young Master Elliot. I guess it could've been worse - Master Craig could've joined a far eastern religious cult and decided to shave us....
So, at this stage summer's not looking all that exciting.
Well, off to the mail:
"Roger and Ellie,I just had to tell you of the problems that we had with the baby iguana. The other night I was relaxing chewing on a old bone and I heard a bad noise. I went to look and I found Sneakers, the little kitten, inside of the baby iguanas home. I tryed to get her out but to no avail. So I just barked and barked so I would distract Sneakers. By the time my mistress got home a long time had passed. I was horse from barking but I alerted the mistress and she not so gently removed the cat. The baby iguana was cut in several places. I suggested calling a all night pet hospital. Information was obtained and put into play. With a lot of love and care the little guy looks a bit ragged but I am told he will be better soon.
I have to go and get ready for Halloween, a hoilday, I do not understand. Why can little people run around the neighborhood and beg for food when I get my but kicked If I do the same thing?
Say "HI" to Elliot.

Hey, Samantha, the iguana's not one of those big ones from the Galapagos Islands, is it? If it is, you only have to wait awhile till it grows up and then it will eat the stupid cat. BTW, why didn't you eat the cat? You would appear to have the law on your side - you can use reasonable force to protect others! I would suspect that the courts would gladly acquit a dog coming to the rescue of a defenceless iguana - especially since the agressor was of the feline persuasion. Next time, I'd take the opportunity to get rid of the cat.
As for Halloween, we don't have that in Australia. Just thought though, Master Craig's Church (and no we haven't been invited yet) is having their Christmas carols night on Friday the Thirteenth - we suggested that it be a "black night" - doesn't look like it will be though (Ellie and I were going to sneak along if it was).
Take me to the next diary entry or show me the complete calendar!
I'd be very happy if you'd sign Master Craig's visitors' book before you leave (he won't create one for me).
