Diary entry, HRH Mickey, 29 June 2014. I had a awesome night sleeping with the Serf.....to be awakened out of my slumber by the yowling of cats in the kitchen. Off I leapt to sort it out, Serf hot on my heels. There was a strange cat in the kitchen...sings - theres a cat in the kitchen what Im a gonna do. Bobby and Socks were all puffed up, bushy tailed, spitting and hissing.....I leapt right in, barked, hackles up....the cat fled by leaping over us, under us and through us....in a flash.........and scurried out through the bathroom window. We did get a few nips and claws in......judging by the amount of fur the interloper left behind....maybe more than a few. I had my first big dog walk today...whooohooo!! :) Had a harness put on - no like.......squiggled and squirmed trying to get out of it, but, the Serf succeeded in getting it on me. She also used the training lead - a long leather lead, used double - that was Harry or Sams - the brothers I never knew. I am nearly ready to go too classes - not so sure about that.......well see!! :) Was a bit confused, as we did not get in the car....but, walked from home. All the way to Kroomboom Rd, through the suburbs, to the Rondebosch sports fields, into Keurboom Park, lots of play time and then all the way home. Took an hour and a half....boy am I ever exhausted. I stayed at heel most of the time, but it was difficult...the cars are so noisy and go so fast.....Serf kept talking to me and reassuring me all the time - boy, that sure helped. Had fun in the park and played, until a beast got a little wild and the Serf lifted me out of the fray.....she is so sharp, knowing just when I need rescuing. I didnt feel like climbing the jungle gyms today. En route to the park and home there were dogs throwing themselves at gates and fences and barking their heads off. Serf explained that they were jealous, as I was out walking and they were at home. I was good and didnt stick my tongue out and tease them, Serf said that was not the done thing - and for once I listened. I suppose that is a life lesson for me......I get to go walkies every day - unless it is really pouring with rain, Serf has even taken me in the dark. Some other dogs go every so often, some never get a walk. Came home to treats and rib bones. Serf decided to do housework - we have made a fair amount of mess this week, what with muddy paws, play, leaves, spilled food, mussed up carpets, frommeling the covers, cat sand trails from room to room, toys strewn about, shedding on the linen etc......AND off course all that strange cats fur lumps everywhere. Off I went to my man-cave shed and had a good nap. Serf was so impressed that I am happy in my man-cave, I got more treats.....hmmm, need to milk that one!! :) She went out for a Birthday tea - themed for Wimbledon middle Sunday - a day reserved for play in case of schedule delays caused by rain. I slept the great sleep. When she came home, she brought Jeff, Melanie and Lara to visit me......weird experience....when a human puts one of your toys in his mouth and wants you too grab it....I kept letting go.........photographic evidence to follow of Jeff doing just that....all a bit confusing, especially when the ladies stand laughing at him. Humans are a strange breed......but, interesting never-the-less. Thanks for the game Jeff!! :) We watched Holland vs Mexico and cheered at the 1st goals for both sides.....more cheering for Mexico....me thinks. Now for Costa Rica vs Greece. No tennis today....the business end of Wimbledon starts tomorrow - so I guess we will be glued to the TV every evening....fine by me....I can sleep. Oh yes, almost forgot.....we had a huge breakthrough tonight.......Bonnie came to the lounge and I irritated her, but she kept coming back and back and back, until, eventually she jumped up on the couch and watched the soccer. Then off she went and came back again. Yahoooo, the whole family all on the couch!! Guess I have to be more gentler with my sister, Bonny!! :)
