The Spoiled Concerto of Vivaldi

Best trick

Many of you are probably wondering why I have such an unusual trick – “pretend to be well-trained when visitors are around” (apart from the long name I mean). Well, let me elaborate for you.

Having grown up with Dumbo who’s a terrier through and through I’ve learned that it’s cool to have a bit of a personality. Tricks just happened to be something that I do when I want to and often people are awed when I do perform them. This is why I reserve my best performance for first-time visitors only. My transformation into the most well-trained dog also happens when people stop to play with me during my walks. I would pull together my best act and respond to every single command with crisp action. However, my sisters always feel the need to ruin my effort by telling people the truth. They even say I’m a vain doggie but I think they are vain too for it is they who gave the commands at the first place!!!

Oops I almost got my sister choked..................

Another favourite hobbie of mine which I forgot to mention above is nudging my family!!! I nudge them everywhere - arms, hands, legs, feet etc just so that I can get a little pat on my head.

Two months ago Daddy had an unfortunate accident while cycling, resulting in a fractured wrist. I was delighted to have him home day after day spending quality time with me!! His bandaged hand looked too tempting and I just couldn't resist nudging him, but he didn't seem to appreciate and told me it hurt him. Hmm..........all I wanted was a little more attention and I really don't see the problem you know!!!

Anyway, last night sister was drinking a lovely smelling, piping hot bowl of soup, which was obviously very yummy as she was ignoring me. I decided to remind her of my presence and nudged her on the elbow, which sent the hot soup right down her throat and nearly everywhere on her body!!!!! I put up my best innocent look and sister (amazingly) found it really cute. She didn't scold me but nevertheless told me I was a very rude doggie and I should never do this again. Am I really a bad doggie?????

Missing you....Dumbo and Bo Bo...

It was the anniversary of Dumbo and Bo Bo's passing two days ago but I still miss them like it was yesterday. Bo Bo has been my best friend since the day I came into this family and we played so many games together. My sisters miss them a lot too. They always remember Dumbo as the dog with the biggest personality and Bo Bo the most gentle soul. Sisters say there will be a day when my brother and I will join them at the Rainbow Bridge too but they made us promised not to let it happen too soon.....
