It’s been a tough couple of months since I said goodbye
to Talisker. We watched out for each
other and shared the human care duties.
Now I’m doing it all on my own. They
are giving me extra cuddles, taking me everywhere with them and I now get
nightly human bed privileges, but I still really miss him.
There are things Talisker used
to do that I always took for granted. I’m
finding it especially difficult to ask for bread when my humans’ friends stop
by to drink falling over juice. Talisker
always did it for us. He just had this
subtle way of begging which humans thought was cute and it always worked. I should have studied him better. I’ve tried sitting quietly behind them which I
thought was what he did, but that doesn’t work.
I’ve tried a bit of gentle yipping to make them notice that I was
sitting behind them, but that just annoys them.
In despondency, I then go and lay on Talisker’s spot on the sofa because
Mummy says that is now my spot, but that only makes me feel sad. Then they come and offer me bread, but by
that point I’m too sad to eat it and then all the humans get worried about
me. Why can’t they worry when I’m
sitting quietly behind them?
