Rain Makes Puddles Make Trouble

Now here's a funny thing.

I have been going outside for a nice roll in the dust. The sun gets through to all my body and the dust works as a kind of abrasive to tone up my skin. When I come in my personal groomers take me to one side and brush and comb me with all those soft silly words I was telling you about and I feel quite refreshed and ready for the hard day ahead.

Well I went out the other morning and someone had left the shower tap on and there was rain everywhere. I thought it was a bit careless when they all say there is a shortage of water - I must say there is never a shortage of water in my bowl nor cream for that matter. Anyway never being one to cause a fuss or trouble I carried on about my business ignoring the shower tap although I did wonder why the two legs would put the shower int he garden when they usually went into that snug little cubicle box next to the bath. I am rather partial to that bath because if you jump in there unexpectedly you can often find Sid the Spider sitting in there. He jumps so high when I jump in it is really funny, then he gets all grumpy and tells me to let him know when I am coming.

That aside I thought I'd have my usual roll in the dust and over I went. Guess what? Someone had taken the dust away and left it as mud. That was even better. The mud got all over my coat and I knew it would do my complexion the world of good. I rolled about and got lovely and covered in it. I thought it would be good to then stand under the shower - the one the two legs hadn't turned off - and get clean. It had stopped raining!

I thought about it and decided to go indoors again. There was no-one about so I decided to dry myself rather than wait for them. I couldn't find the towel so I jumped on the settee and rolled on that. Max said I was asking for trouble. What a silly expression - as if I would actually ask for trouble. trouble finds me without me going to ask!

Sure enough within a couple of seconds of Max's words in came the two legs and shrieked and chased me into the kitchen. I did get a rub down in the big warm fluffy towel but I also got banished from the settee for two weeks. All because they left the shower tap on - well I think they did.
