Daisy's diary: Sleep approbation

April 15th 2010 12:27

The point I would like to make, a point that I don't think, generally, has received sufficient attention, is that, in certain light, I look much younger than I am.

In fact, in all modesty, I suggest that my good looks are another point which, in the greater greyhound world, have not received sufficient attention.

Don't ask me how I do it. Good genes, probably. And plenty of sleep.

Scratchy's diary: My February 14 treat

February 13th 2010 22:11

The Big Boss was particularly affectionate to the Little Boss this morning, as if February 14 is some special day. He called her "Valentine". That's a new one — how many names can one person have?

Anyway, he finally stopped with the affection and asked Little Boss if she would like some breakfast in bed.

"I would," she said.

"I would too," I said, but I don't think he heard me.

However, as the old saying goes, it's the persistent dog which catches the leatherwood honey on soy and linseed light rye (although I'd accept margarine on cheap white), and so I followed Big Boss to the food room.

"Can I have a piece of toast?" I asked, with just that right mix of politeness and respect which I have found, from long experience, lets hoomans think they are pack leaders.

"You've already had breakfast," he said.

Drats. I was hoping he'd forgotten.

"Oh, I know that," I said, with a self-deprecating smile, "but just this once, couldn't you show how much you love me with a little extra something?"

And, amazingly, he gave me an extra bit of toast.

Maybe there is something special about February 14.

A little ray of sunshine

I have discovered that, when it's cold, it's warmer at the bedroom end of the house than it is at the sofa room end.

The thing is, I don't think it's the beds that make the bedroom warmer. I think it's something to do with the light that comes through the window at that end of the house.

Odd, I know, but if you look at the pictures you can see what I mean - light streaming in and landing on the carpet. And if you lie down on the carpet where the light hits, it's really warm.

I know, I'm a genius.
