Privileges withdrawn
I’ve had my privileges withdrawn. Everything looking brighter was very short lived and apparently it’s my own fault.
When I got up yesterday I was on springs. It’s no good asking me why, as I don’t know. Mum has a theory that it’s when I don’t sleep so well. In turn she thinks allowing me to stay up late is a very bad idea. So that privilege disappeared.
I may have punched Mum in the face and the side even before breakfast. It is possible I grabbed at her arm. Certainly it could be argued that I was trying to destroy one of the really comfy expensive dogs beds. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. It was just one of those days. Any thought of sleeping in Mum’s bed has been shelved. For part of the day I even had my muzzle on indoors and that is unusual.
Outside time
We had a lot of time outdoors in the hope it would calm me down. It didn’t. At one point I saw something move and utterly lost the plot barking. Mum was trying to clear all the undergrowth behind the shed and the greenhouse. She needed me to stay at a safe distance as there were lots of brambles. I was making a bit of a nuisance of myself if I’m being honest. The main reason she was having to clear it was because I had told her there might be some unwelcome wildlife using it for cover the night before. I was pretty excited then as well.
Mum is a fairly philosophical person and has said ‘today is another day’. I think what she means is I get a clean slate and it’s up to me what I do with it. Given I have no idea why I behaved the way I did yesterday, it really could go in any direction. Paws crossed I don’t mess this day up too.
