Pink cake? For me? You shouldn't have. By Bessie

You want to hear something disgusting?   Right now Daddy is eating sugar puffs out of a red plastic bowl.   Dry sugar puffs.  He isn't using a spoon, he just keeps shoving his face into the bowl and bringing it out with sugar puffs stuck to it.  I would like to say I have better eating habits than Daddy.  Also he has only just finished a huge plate of chikin curry.  He shouldn't need a bowl of dry sugar puffs.   Daddy thinks he should have a pudding after every meal (that includes the three breakfasts he has every day).  Firstly because he has the eating habits of a toddler and secondly because Nanny has a pudding after every meal.

By the way have you ever heard the noise a grown man makes when he's eating dry sugar puffs out of a plastic bowl using only his face as a spoon?   It's not a nice noise, trust me.

So today is Saturday.    Daddy paints the back step and then puts our car ramp over it so we can get in and out without getting white paint on our feeties.   Then him and Mummy and us go for a walk down our castle. Mummy puts me and Lotty in the harnesses but let's Carly walk along without even a lead on.   This is not fair.  I show her my disgust by walking a hundred yards then sitting down in the middle of the pavement.   She comes back and takes the harness off and lets me walk without a lead.   But then Daddy gets cross because we are walking too slow for his liking so Mummy says we all have to go on a lead.   But when we get down the castle we are allowed off for a run about.   Even norty Lotty.  Carly rolls on a pile of dandelion seeds.   She will regret that when she's itching all night.   Lotty rolls on a poo, luckily it is a dry poo so Mummy manages to get her off before she gets through the crust.

Then we meet and greet with a whippet and a golden retriever and then we go home and me and Mummy go to the Basset Club of Wales committee meeting.

Mummy gets a big comfy orange chair and puts my pink blankie on it so I can sit round the table and join in the meeting.  I like to join in.   Mummy makes everyone a cup of coffee and Aunty Tina bought cake but Mummy says I'm not allowed a slice of cake because it's got raisins in it so she gets a pink sponge cake out of her bag and says I can have that instead.   It is very nice pink cake.   Mummy says she is going to arrange a walk so apparently we is going to go on a walk and a picnic in Penarth in August.  We hopes people come on our walk.   It be very embarrassing if nobody turns up.
