News stories

I can't help but notice as I watch over the she boss's lap each day that there have been a lot of news stories about animals lately. I must admit I'm a little envious and am wondering what it would take to make me famous. I'd like it to be something really heroic.
Maybe if I rescued the she boss from a cliff ledge on one of our walks. Maybe not. That would probably mean I'd have to trip her up first and I don't think I could bring myself to do that.
How about stopping a run away pram from going in front of big lorry. Mmmm. That sounds a bit risky to my life and that would defeat the object if I wasn't there to see myself on the news page. I also might have trouble getting off the lead
I suppose I could get in the local paper for something gentle but heroic, like catching a little person's balloon just as it was going to fly away. Might burst though.
How about rescuing a cat stuck in a tree. That could work if I could get up there as it probably wouldn't stay up there for long once I got near. Scaring it could cause trouble though and my good intentions be misunderstood.
I think I might have to stick to letting the family know whenever anyone comes too close to our front door for now. One of these days, it might be someone that they really need me to warn them about. If I think of any better ideas, I'll let you know. Unless you've got any for me? Do people in Halifax ever have good ideas?

Sadness

The she boss has been sad today. She's just taken me for a walk and told me and God all about it. She heard on the news this morning about some horrible things happening to children done by people who everyone thought was looking out for them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/7421399.stm She said she feels ashamed of being a human being when they do things like that to each other. I'd let her be a dog if she wanted but that would make life difficult for me so I guess I'll just carry on listening to her when she wants to tell me about it. It must be hard being human with so many things to think about

Rain

I'm getting fed up of this weather now. We've had loads of rain every day ever since the she boss put the flappy holiday house up and took it down again. Perhaps we're not supposed to go on holiday yet.
I suppose I shouldn't complain though. I heard the he and she boss talking about a family who lived in a strange house for years and years and didn't have windows and couldn't go out! That must have been horrible. I'm glad they can see the sky now even if it is grey. I'd like to take them to see my hills and breath in all the fresh air.
