My human and I had a grand adventure today. First she went to a shop called a post office, I got tied up outside it and I was very unhappy about that. I made sure that everyone walking past and inside the post office knew it by jumping around and barking very loudly and sharply. My human told me I'm an embarrassment and that she can't take me anywhere. Pah.
Then we went on a Bus Contraption to the city where we had a very nice walk through a place called Prince's St Gardens. I was more interested in the squirrels and pigeons than anything else but when I tried to pull her along to chase a crow she said I shouldn't even think about it. She's such a spoilsport!
After all of that we met a new human but I just ignored him. I'm good at ignoring people, right now I'm ignoring my human.
My human let me off my lead for a run and then I wouldn't go back to her. I pretended I couldn't hear her and when she and the new human got too close I knew they wanted to catch me so I kept running away.
Yes, a very very naughty and enjoyable day.

Adventures
My human had to go to the vet yesterday so one of my visitor humans came to let me look after him. He took me to the park and I did my best to behave but just couldn't resist playing with some other superior beings in the park, I think visitor human thought I might never go back to him but I did in the end. When my human came home she had some sort of patches on both her arms, she says the vet had to do some tests but I don't understand why that needed patches, I don't get patches when I see the vet. I really don't understand humans and their strange ways.
Anyway, my human was so tired when she got home my visitor human had to go to do whatever it is he does in the daytime and then she and me went for a sleep. I was worried about her and so I went to go and sleep beside her so I could keep watch over her.
Today we went on a Bus Contraption but I quite liked it this time. I'm learning that if I lie down quietly it's really not so bad and if I pop my nose up every so often I get a little scratch under the chin to show I'm being good. This was all my idea, the inferior humans would never think of such a clever thing. When we got off the Bus Contraption I knew exactly where we were going and so I showed my human the way, just in case she'd forgotten. So I took her across the road and led her all the way to Maggie's so we could meet our usual human there. I do get very spoilt when I'm there - lots of cuddles and fuss.
When we came home my human picked up some sort of thing that had come through the door flap and started ranting about it. It seems that she's not very happy about a "courier" whatever one of those might be. All I know is that yesterday a parcel was supposed to get here and it didn't. Then she talked on the noisy metal contraption she carries around with her (i think she calls it her bone but it doesn't smell like a bone) and was quite annoyed after that. Then, this morning, a parcel did arrive and she was happy I think but still ranting about it. She said the thing through the door after coming home from Maggie's was "the last straw".
I don't totally know what's going on because she never tells me anything but I am glad that the parcel isn't for me this time. In fact, I don't approve of the parcel at all because it appears to have a Hoover Contraption in it and I don't like those at all.
*sigh* bedtime.
PS, Danté was indeed very good on the bus today but on the way home he sat cuddled up to the wall and shaking a little bit. He mistook a tiny dog sitting on a ladies knee as being a cat. He's terrified of cats. Shh, don't tell him I told you. Danté's Human

New Humans
Today was a real adventure and I really enjoyed most of it. I was taken on a Bus Contraption, a sort of half size thing with no upstairs like the other one. I did sit down most of the time but kept my eyes on the door and plotted my escape. Unfortunately it would appear that my human was wise to this and she kept me close and on my lead.
We got off the Bus Contraption and had a nice walk through some old hospital place or other, my human didn't seem too impressed and kept telling me about it being a disgrace that it's going to wrack and ruin. I think I'd rather enjoy ruins, especially if there were rabbits and other jumpy things living there. I decided to behave well on my lead today because my human had my favourite toy in her bag and I get it to play with when I'm good. I suspect she may be trying to bribe me but I don't mind too much because it's a nice bribe. Not like going to the vet where I have the indignity of getting poked and prodded then only end up with a biscuit. I think a vet visit is worth at least a new ball.
After we'd walked we got to another hospital but this one was busy and not in wrack and ruin. Well, I don't think it was but what do I know. We went to some building with a garden and trees around it but the most exciting bit about the walk there was the squirrel I saw. I was pulling, jumping...trying anything to let my human know I wanted to go and play with it. She had other ideas and said no. One thing about my human is there's no point arguing if she says no because she really means it. I'll have to work on that.
So this building we went to was really lovely and there was a huge bowl of water waiting for me. That was a great relief because it was very hot today. A few humans were sitting at a table, talking as usual because that seems to be all humans ever do. When they saw me coming they all came to say hello and make a big fuss of me. My human said I'm antisocial because I mostly wasn't interested in them but I was really just pretending not to be interested. Under my calm and aloof exterior I was loving all the attention. I think my human will take me there again because she says it's a very special place. This is why she says that;
A long time ago there was a lady called Maggie and she wasn't very well. Maggie wanted to make a special place for humans who are ill to go and be able to talk and have a nice place to sit together and get help or support. Maggie cared such a lot about getting it right and did design and everything to make it just right. It's very sad but Maggie died before it was all finished and so she never got to see her special place. Maggie's husband has been into the special building and he thinks it's brilliant. The name of the building is Maggie's Centre and it's in Edinburgh but there are others all over the place now, even in Hong Kong which is a very long way away.
My human goes to Maggie's Centre because she isn't very well and the other humans there help her to figure stuff out and they make sure she understands all the hard medical bits. She told me that Maggie's is not only a special place because of the lady called Maggie but because everyone who goes there is really kind and understanding to each other. I like it because I get biscuits.
When we were finished meeting all the new humans we had to go on another Bus Contraption to come home. I was tired after the day of adventures and I decided to lie down and sleep. After we got home I had some dinner and water and now I'm going off to cuddle down for the night.
PS, my human says I need to share the URL for Maggie's Centre so other people can read about what it is, what it does and a bit more about it. So I'll oblige - here it is: http://bit.ly/pHVmWd

Duped
Last night I was duped by the human. She made out that we were going for a run in the park but actually it was a test and we went on a monstrous contraption called a Bus. Thank goodness we didn't go very far as it was the most unexciting thing I have ever experienced. Worse even than the chit chat that the humans have with each other. Anyway, I did get a good run around in an enormous park after getting off the Bus Contraption and that did sort of make up for the indignity of it all.
Today I was taken to a shop to get a new tag for my collar. The human got her name and phone number written on it which is all fine unless some inferior being thinks that's actually my name. So if I get lost she'll get a phone call on that noisy thing she carries around everywhere with her. Really, she treats it as if it's a bone or something actually precious. Noisy piece of metal rubbish.
It was hot outside this afternoon, I didn't enjoy the walk to the shops very much there was lots of traffic and noise. No, I like my parks a lot better - even if I do get taken on that Bus Contraption to get to one. Hopefully the human will realise I don't particularly like going on the Bus and will walk me everywhere instead but I suspect she intends to take me more places on it.
I don't intend to get duped in this way again. I must restore my superiority before the human thinks she is in charge.
