Like a circle in a spiral

February 12th 2012 02:41
Larry: The Bosses are planning to move.

Daisy: I know.

Larry: Actually to leave this home, this haven, and go somewhere else, somewhere out there in the big, wide, frightening unknown.

Daisy: I know.

Larry: How do you know?

Daisy: Heidi told me.

Larry: How does Heidi know?

Daisy: Clyde told her.

Larry: How does Clyde know?

Daisy: He overheard his Missus and his Boss talking about it.

Larry: How did they hear about it?

Daisy: Big Boss created a link on a Zoomies comment and accidentally pasted in the wrong URL. It was a Control C fumble. The link he actually pasted in was one he had copied earlier which had remained in memory and took readers to an interstate property site. Clyde’s Missus was the one who found the erroneous URL.

Larry: What?

Daisy: Don’t ask me what it means. I’m just repeating what Heidi said.

Larry: But how does Heidi know all that?

Daisy: Clyde told her.

Larry: How does Clyde know?

Daisy: He overheard his Missus and his Boss talking about it.

Larry: Okay, okay. And I suppose there’s a hole in the bucket, dear Daisy?

Daisy: What?

Larry: Never mind.

Oh Daisy,

Is it really going to happen? That means we'll never meet, I am very sad. The Missus says I've got to be happy for you because you will be living in a really beautiful place and may even have a proper backyard to run in. She says this will be a wonderful opportunity for your Bosses, she is a bit worried though that they won't be able to make the time to help you keep Zoomies up to date. Don't let that happen dear Daisy, We need to hear from you, and we need to get to know Larry better.


But my dear Daisy, I know I told you that I'd heard the news from Clyde but you honestly don't think it was Clyde who explained to me how the link would have been mixed up did you? Even the Missus didn't know all that complex computer stuff, she thought it was just a mistake in the link. I had to get the Boss to explain all that to me. When the Missus first saw the mistake she thought it was all just a bit of a joke, she's a bit embarrassed that she drew attention something that was meant to be so private.


I must say my dear, Larry's response to this piece of news (except for his rather smart wise crack at the end) suggests that he is unlikely to live up to our hope that you'd come across that rare miracle of nature, an intelligent male hound. Perhaps he was just so overcome by your superior knowledge that he had a momentary brain lapse, that final wise crack does give me hope. For most male hounds including Clyde of course, this brain lapse is a permanent not a temporary condition.

Licks,

Heidi.

Heidi darling,

It's not final yet, but Big Boss keeps having phone conversations all about non-current assets, intangibles, trading profit and stuff like that. I have no idea what any of these things mean, but I'm assuming they are transport terms and mean he's still thinking of moving.

He also keeps talking about "Tasmania". Mumbles the word all night long in his sleep too. Heavens only knows what it means, but it could be an accounting term, to do with the business he wants to buy.

I know, I'm clever.

Anyway, no definite news yet. Larry and I will just have to remain on tenterpaws.

Licks,
Daisy

Jessica sweetheart,

I just heard Big Boss tell Little Boss, "If it happens, I'll have to move to Tasmania first and rent for a while." So that's it! Tasmania is a suburb!

Being clever, however, does not stop me being anxious. How will this all end?

Wags,
Daisy

Jessica,

G'day and thanks. Black is best. Definitely.

Listen, you wouldn't happen to know, would you, if they have sofas in Tasmania? See, I'm thinking I can carry my ball when we move, but the sofa's too big and, having only recently been introduced to them, I can't now imagine life without sofas.

So I'm asking around, doing some research. Do they have sofas in Tasmania? Food too. Yeah, that's important. Do you think they have food there?

Sniffs,
Black Flash (aka Larry)
