Hello all, it’s that time again.

She-who-brings-carrots turned up on Monday this week and I knew what was coming so I thought I’d give her a taste of her own medicine and make her do some work for once. I made her follow me round the field for five minuets before I left her catch me. That’ll teach her for making me run around in circles! She put the straps on again this time too. How am I meant to be nosey with those things on…honestly it’s just rude really.

I then didn’t see she-who-brings-carrots until Thursday and she didn’t look her normal self so I gave her a good sniff and she gave me carrots. The best bit was I didn’t have to run round in circles! I think she should have ton-sil-eye-tus (I think that’s what she said she had) more often. I could get used to being a lady of leisure again.

Unfortunately it didn’t last and on Saturday she turned up again and this time we went out round the block. Since she’s been ill I thought I’d better look after both of us and be doubly on the look out for monsters. I’m not entirely sure my efforts were appreciated though as she spent a lot of time laughing at me and telling me to stop ‘being such a silly baggage’. Honestly! Some people are so ungrateful, I was only thinking of her safety. When we got back she did look very tired though so I did feel a little bit guilty. I still got lots of itchies with the black thing so I obviously wasn’t that bad after all.

Today she-who-brings-carrots turned up and she had that little dog with her. I like him. We always say hello although he always looks very scared when I get close enough to say hello, then again he is really small so I suppose a giant coming up to you could be a bit scary. She got my bridle out but then she got to long rope she uses when I have to run around in circles. I really wasn’t impressed with the thought of running around in circles but she-who-brings-carrots explained that we weren’t going to run around in circles we were just going to go for a walk so I let her attach the rope. We went over the bridge where I got really scared last week. Apparently she-who-brings-carrots thinks I’m being a big baby (errr…hello….I AM a baby…duh!) so she’s going to walk with me for a little while until I get used to the idea that it’s ok to go somewhere new. I got to play king of the castle over the metal things, that was fun! I was on the look out for monsters to start with but then I relaxed and I actually quite enjoyed going for a walk. We only went to the gate to the road and back but we stopped for a snack before we came back too. I guess going somewhere new isn’t really that bad if I get to eat. When we got back I got lots of carrots for being brave. I could get used to that too.
