Firstly, She won't let me sleep with her on her bed, which is totally unacceptable. Secondly, She won't let me chase/frighten/eat the bird who lives here in a cage - I mean, come on!</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">We saw the vet on Saturday and he confirmed that I am perfect. He also said he thought it was unlikely that I am pregnant. She looked fairly relieved, as she told him I'd been living with an intact male when I last came into season. Trust me, there was nothing intact about that whipper snapper - all mouth and energy, with nothing between the ears.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">We have been on several walks. I really like walks, and I have been helping with the garden remodelling by digging holes in the newly tilled soil and eating the manure they are digging in. We also went to a market where a woman ran up to me and kissed me on the head. My woman was rather taken aback <span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">as she didn't ask, but I am used to adoration. In fact the woman did it twice more as we were walking around - that's how fabulous I am. My woman was irritated and said if I had been someone called Rolph the stranger would have lost her face. She said to the woman in a slightly sarky voice "you really like the dog, don't you?" and saw the lady was crying as she nodded.</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I have also been on several basset playdates with Dennis and Jeffery, who live close by in a funny house with a huge garden. We have fun chasing squirrels and holding bark-offs.</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">That's all for now</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hattie, with Sally in the UK</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></span></span></div></div></body></html>
