There used to be a big metal
box in a cupboard that hummed loudly sometimes.
I’m not sure when it decided it was time to hum but somehow when it was
cold outside, if it hummed, the inside of the kennel would get warmer and when
it was hot outside, the kennel would get cooler. A
little while ago, when it came to the end of a hum, we could hear it peeing in
the cupboard.
When we were puppies, Mummy
got very scary if we peed inside so we learnt very quickly that life is much
more comfortable if you go in the garden.
The metal box refused to listen so suffered the ultimate punishment. Mummy sent it away, but it didn’t go
easily. It took three humans with big
bags of metal extracting instruments several hours to remove it. They didn’t seem to be enjoying the task
much, which is not very surprising. A
metal box that pees in its cupboard obviously has no regard for personal hygiene. I think they must also have suspected it might
try to hide under the kennel, because the human in charge sent one of the others
through a hole in the floor to catch it.
We now have a new metal box in
the cupboard. It has much better manners,
doesn’t hum nearly as loudly and has obviously heard how scary Mummy can be as
it hasn’t peed inside once since it came to live with us.
