Our humans are part of a big group of other humans, many
from far away lands, who like to help those less fortunate than they are. Every two human years they take it in turn to
visit each other’s lands and this year they all gathered in San Francisco. It’s very important to make those who don’t
have kennels here feel welcome, so our humans offered to spend a couple of days
introducing them to some of their favorite falling over juice kennels in Napa
and Sonoma. It’s a good time of year to
visit because there’s lots to look at. This
is when all the little bunches of round things jump off their plants and climb
into big machines that squeeze out the juice that goes into big barrels before
magically turning into falling over juice.
Trefethen is a really old falling over juice kennel so our guests got to
see a really old squeezing machine.
Since we are now splitting our security duties, I thought
we should spend our newly acquired spare time helping out. Sometimes, when all these humans get
together, they wear big red body covers with white crosses on them. Having always felt that we should be respectful
when acting as ambassadors for our land, Mummy was kind enough to make us
scarves to blend in with them. One of
Daddy’s friends said we were their “mascots.”
I’ve never been a mascot before but it would appear the job entails a
lot of human herding. They are particularly disobedient when removed
from their usual environment so trying to get them onto large motorized
multiple human carriers is really quite tiring work. We were really very relieved when we arrived
at Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars and several humans took on the job of herding the
humans so that we could take a nap. This
must be a popular place to rest as Mummy found a couple of bears sleeping on some
falling over juice containers. They were
obviously taking a break from human herding too.
I have to admit that being a mascot is quite fun for a short time, but I think I will keep my regular job as Chief of Security.
