I protested last night! It was really good fun!

My humans had left me alone a lot of the day again and I was expecting lots of attention in the evening. True, Tim took me for a long forest walk while Hilary cooked the tea, but then after that instead of playing ball with me or even cuddling on the sofa the humans started looking on the intranet at holiday options for next year!

That word- holiday- sparks fear and trembling in me. I mean, if my humans are actually booking a go-away holiday (somethere warm, I suspect) that only means one thing. Monty and me will be sentenced to a spell in prison!! How unfair!

So I decided to protest and demand attention (hoping this would bring them to their senses and they would agree to holiday at home next year, so much more fun) I kept nudging and jumping up at them. Then I brought them my ball and played with it getting in the way. Then I kept grabbing items from Tim’s study and running off with them – Hilary kept having to chase me to retrieve things, it was great fun and I nearly managed to knock her over on the stairs!

Then the ultimate. When the usual attention seeking behaviour tecniques didn’t work I decided on the toilet protest, and stood in the hall peeing! hee hee! That got them running- Hilary took me outside to finish my buisiness and Tim had to clean up the carpet. There that told them. Ignore me at your peril!
