Mice, continued

Well, it was all quiet here last night. No meeces running around. They must have known I was on the alert and the room door was open for me so I could get them if they went in there.
I showed the she boss where they're living. I don't think she's very happy cos she was saying if it gets really bad, they're going to have to take the carpet and a stair up! I tried to help and pull the carpet up myself but got into a lot of trouble for some reason. I can't win. Oh well, another night, another mouse. Maybe.
It's entertaining for me anyway. I can't really understand what the problem is although I'll admit they smell funny.

Favourite perfumes

Today must be one of the worst day's of my life so far. It all started off so well. Me and she boss did some chilling about the house. She was doing some funny moves cos she'd got something in her ears. That always happens when she puts that wire in. It makes sense to me that if something has that effect, just don't do it but she won't listen will she. She seems happy with it anyway.
That was not the bad bit. We went for a pretty good walk over in my field and I found the best perfume I've ever smelt. It was fantastic so I put plenty behind my ears while we were there.
When we came back home, I could see the she boss was looking for something. She was looking round the floor everywhere and even the bottom of her slippers and boots. Then she saw me. I should have rubbed it in better cos I think it was still a bit brown and sticky. I must remember next time.
At least it wasn't a full shower but it was a lot more undignified. She got a big bowl of neutralising soapy water and once she'd scrubbed me all round my neck with that she THREW, yes THREW a whole bucket of water over my head!! The picture doesn't do justice for just how bad it was for me. And she said I should be grateful it wasn't cold!!
And she said I was disgusting. Not even that the smell was disgusting. That's not good psychology is it? Does she know what damage she can do to a dog's self esteem? All because she didn't like my taste in perfume. I'm not keen on hers either but I don't make her go and wash it off do I?
I wonder when I'll be able to get over the field again for some more. Must rub it in. Must rub it in. Must rub it in ........

Was it something I said? .......

Or something I did? Or do I just smell and no one likes to tell me. None of my friends who come are staying around for long lately. The Friend Peter came, gave me a nice bit of fuss, ate a dinner, then went again! Patrick came round but wouldn't even come in the door. I'm trying not to take it personally. The she boss and me had a very nice walk this afternoon though. At least she loves me. It was very windy but not as bad as last night when it was dark and I was too scared to go out in the garden
I heard them talking on the radio in the car this week about these pills to keep you happy. They said they don't work; that pretend ones work just as well. Well, I have it on very good authority that some dog friends of mine, never mind the people ones have had these things and they did work. If they'd have tried out the pretend ones on my dog friends, it would have been a waste of money wouldn't it cos of course they wouldn't have worked but the real ones did. So there

More new friends

Aaaah I'm so glad that the he and she boss chose to adopt me and have me live with them. I think they're glad as well. It's such a nice place to be and they have such interesting people come round. We had two more new ones today. I don't know where they keep finding them. They don't seem to be random anybodies as they usually know them themselves - it's just me that doesn't. These 2 seemed to have come in the middle of a journey to eat our food and use our settees but none of us minded and Sammy came to say hello to them as well. Even he seemed to know them. I think their names were Cameron and Jenny or something. He was BIG! Not like my family. I think they liked me but they didn't send any food my way or even leave any tasty scraps.
The he and she boss went out somewhere tonight and came back smelling of another dog. It was a he dog by the tone of it and I'm glad they didn't take me. These boys can be such a nuisance - getting ideas above their station, and they don't take the hint from me.
