The next bit of interesting information is that Ellie now prefers to do what I tell her than what Master Craig tells her. Just the other day I opened a hole in the fence, went through and Ellie just followed despite Master Craig's calls. We went for a good run down the street. Master Craig brought the car to pick us up - it's always nice to get a lift home after a run.
To the mail:
Spot the Fetid is certainly persistent even though lacking in all social skills:
"Dear Roger Dodger and Smelly Ellie, Whatever does fetid mean?????? Is it a dogs bottom thing????? You are becoming boring and repetitive like Matty's page, do some cat things and get with the programme. Spot, Your Furry Friend"Well Spot, "Fetid" means nice furry cat. So Ellie and I call you Spot the Nice Furry Cat. You should feel free to use this as a webname (if you like it).
I do resent that you say we're boring and repetitive like Matty's page - everyone knows that that page is now defunct (especially now that Matty has a new master).
If you want a page for cat things, you should set up your own page and stop hassling us - the things on my page are of vital interest to canines.
Next, Mistress Linda writes:
"We thought the site information on Rogernold and Elanor was great. But don't you think that you owe it to them to let them have a page of their own. Now Samantha (our dog) is demanding that we do the same thing for her. Thanks to you she now is going around the house with a attitude. Plain and simple she wants her own page."Mistress Linda writes as if Samantha doesn't deserve her own page - typical human specism. A dog with attitude is a good dog and Sam sounds like a dog who needs a page.
Next, to Shadow:
"Master Craig is a funny, funny man! My master laughed at loud at something he read from Master Craig. Coincidentally, "Spinal Tap" is also my master's favorite movie, that and something called "Raising Arizona." Apologies for the rudundancies in my last message. I wrote it early in the morning and didn't bother to self-edit. I've got to get master Fred to do that for me. Anyway, take care. By the way. I am not overweight. Just husky! -- shadow"I suspect that Master Fred may have laughed at the Foot High Club - my Master thinks that that one is a real hoot - but it's no laughing matter for Ellie and I to be members. For the uninitiated, it's a club for dogs who manage through some means to "discharge" some bodily liquid/solid (to put it nicely) at a foot or more above ground - my and Ellie's favourite place is Master Craig's car. Shadow had a similar experience in Master Fred's truck recently (see my last diary entry).
We were interested to note that Master Fred seems to be taking a greater interest in dogs on the internet (although he certianly has not joined Ellie's and my struggle for a backyard internet connection). Master Fred's interest is apparently in:
dogs in distress; and
the violent end of dogs.
Shadow, we're concerned for your well-being in that household. Please keep us informed of Master Fred's dealings with you.
Lastly, I didn't touch the contraption over the weekend in protest over Master Craig's maltreatment of Ellie and I re. the weekend fiasco.
Take me to the next diary entry!
I'd be very happy if you'd sign Master Craig's visitors' book before you leave (he won't create one for me).
