Just lately, Mummy has been spending a lot of time with
her writing box and then takes it with her when she leaves the kennel. This has made it particularly difficult for me
to keep up with current affairs.
However, I have worked out that she spends all Friday morning outside decapitating
plants before the guy with the big blowing machine comes. I know what you’re thinking … isn’t the guy
with the big blowing machine supposed to do that? Don’t tell her or I may lose my little bit of
writing box time.
Last Friday while Mummy was decapitating plants, I
discovered a piece of research. Did you
know that it’s really unhygienic to kiss humans? They have 1½ times more nasty stuff in their
mouths than dogs. I think we’re OK though. Our humans spend a lot of time pulling pieces
of string through their teeth and scrubbing them with humming brushes.
The next statistic … dog bowls are less hygienic than the
prongy things humans use to move food from their plates to their mouths. I’m not sure where they got the data from,
but we have lots of bowls and Mummy puts them in the automatic bowl washing box
every day with all the human feeding utensils, so again, I think we’re safe there.
Now, the last statistic is very interesting. Dog toys have way more nasty stuff on them
than human toys. This one I can believe. Tobermory regularly leaves our toys outside
in the garden but our humans usually keep their mobile talking boxes in the
protective environment of the pouches in their body covers. This research suggests that if I have an urge
for a really good gnaw, it would be much better for my health if I sink my
teeth into one of our humans’ mobile talking boxes.
