Hello everybody! Happy Halloween! BOL! It’s that day when you humans like to go out and scare one another! I really don’t understand it at all! I HATE being frightened! Maybe it’s a human thing! Anyway, if you are celebrating Halloween, have a lovely scary time! BOL! Talking of being frightened, I had quite an upset last night. Those of you who have known me the longest will know that I’m terrified of... FLIES! Well, one got into the house just before bedtime. I think it must have followed us in when Mummy let me out to do my business! It was a big one and I was soooooo frightened! At first, Mummy and Daddy didn’t know what was wrong, but when I tried to get behind the television, where there is very little room, they realised and then heard it! Ugh! Yuk! I began to shake and I really didn’t feel very well. Mummy picked me up and took me out of the room where my bed is and Daddy opened the cupboard behind my bed to get out some stuff which would kill the fly! I was still so frightened that I tried to get in the cupboard! I feel a little silly having tried to do that now, as there wasn’t enough room for a paw, let alone all of me, but, at the time, I’d have tried ANYWHERE to get out of the way! Daddy closed the door and set about catching the fly and Mummy stayed with me. I just sat huddled in the corner, shaking! Ugh! It was horrible. Eventually, Daddy got it and threw it away, but even though I knew it had gone, my mind kept me hearing the horrible buzzing. I couldn’t even eat my bedtime biscuits or carrot! That shows you how scared I was! Mummy stayed with me while Daddy had to go to bed because of his work. He’d killed the fly, which was very brave of him, so I didn’t mind him going. Mummy turned out the lights and sat in the living room and, eventually, I began to calm down enough to lie down properly in my bed! Mummy knew, then, that I’d be okay and went to bed! It took a while for me to get to sleep and I woke up during the night and felt fine again; fine enough to eat by biscuits and carrots – a midnight feast! BOL! All’s well this morning and I’m back to my usual self! Isn’t it strange? I’ll bark at anyone who comes to the house; I’m a brilliant guard dog! AND... I don’t mind flies in anyone else’s house, but I hate them in mine! I guess it takes away my feeling of security! I bet some of you think I’m a silly little doggie, but I think we all have things which scare us, and they are sooooo hard to overcome! Anyway, that’s all behind me now... I saw Scruffy this morning, and his mummy and my Mummy stopped to talk, so we had time to catch up too! Last week, I’d told him how much I wuv carrot and got my Mummy to tell his mummy. Now he gets carrot every day too AND he WUVS it! BOL! He likes it best of all his treats! I’m spreading the word..! BOL! He’s worse than I am for chasing birds! I usually start to chase them while they’re on the ground BUT while we were barking to each other, he saw a wood pigeon on the telephone wire and he tried to chase it! BOL! He hasn’t got wings, so he had no chance! He’s worse than me when it comes to birds. His mummy says, he ALWAYS barks at them when he sees them in their garden! OMD! That’s a LOT of barking! I saw some big birds this morning, when we were walking down our favourite lane! Mummy said they are called ‘Pheasants’. They weren’t there yesterday, but there were loads today! I didn’t chase them, though, they were in a field and I knew I wouldn’t be able to get closer to them. Mummy says that if I was a ‘gun dog’ I’d know all about pheasants! I’m not sure what a ‘gun dog’ is but Mummy’s Daddy used to have them when she was a little girl. I know their names... In order of when they lived, they were: Pip (the first); Bessie; Suzie; Pip (the second). They all went to the Rainbow Bridge a long time ago and will have been there to greet Mummy’s Daddy when he made the journey too! It’s wuvely to think of Mummy’s Mummy and Daddy, plus all their doggies back together again! Oh dear, I’ve barked on and on today... It sounds more like some kind of therapy session than my usual barking! Thank you for listening! We haven’t any sun today but it doesn’t stop me from feeling light-hearted! Have a wuvely Thursday and keep those tails wagging and have a happy, safe (and scary) Halloween! Kisses and licks, Brenna
