In the Dark ...

Just had to rush in and write my blog - I have just been out ... in the dark! I was quite keen to get up and out as soon as possible today as I haven't seem my friend Jaffa since yesterday evening. Or her mum. Rose tried to wake the slaves at about half four but gave up after a while. Fizz succeeded though. It was a bit bizarre really how she did it. She came in, squeaked a bit, stabbed one of the slaves in the leg by reaching under the duvet and the other one got up!

Still, I took advantage of the situation and made it absolutely clear that I needed to go out IMMEDIATELY!

So the slave that had got up, put my harness on me and off we went. I was a bit reticent at first because I haven't been out in the dark before, well, I say dark, it was a bit light but the Sun hadn't come up yet. It was quite nice actually, there were no machine noises, just those feathered flappy things tweeting all over the place. Oh, and the dew dripping down the pipe into the water butt. That puzzled me a bit at first but when I realised what it was I stopped worrying. There is still so much to learn.

Rose and Basil were already out, sitting on the end wall of the garden. They came rushing over to me and Rose was a bit of a pain. She poked at my tail and hit me on the head a couple of times but I am getting used to it. Basil was a bit more civil, he just sniffed my bum. The slave threw some bits of stone for Rose to chase and, when she wasn't looking, he threw some bits of wood for me to chase.

Somehow, the mice holes look different in the dark, but it is still fun poking my paw down them. I had a look over the road through the slats in the gate and from the wall next to the post box - nothing going on so I had another snuffle round the garden. I had a poke at the bottom of the house cladding and found something nice to eat. Not sure what it was.

Anyway, the slave said he was getting a bit chilly (the idiot had not put his fur on) and I had to go in. I had hoped to watch the Sun come up - oh well, have to do that from inside as usual.

I hadn't realised that my feet had got wet whilst we were outside and had a bit of an issue whilst doing a high speed turn round the corner of the kitchen units. So I went and sat on the mat and dried them off. I had forgotten all about going to look for Jaffa, but I am sure she'll be fine. I'm off to bed now, that's quite enough excitement for one morning!
