Well Maisie has been with me for a week now. What a week it's been. Last night at about 9.00pm I had made myself a small mug of tea, I took it into the lounge and then went back into the kitchen for something. When I returned I could hardly believe my eyes. Maisie, who had been fast asleep on her fleece blanket on the sofa, was stood up, front paws on the coffee table, picking up the mug of tea. She jumped off with the mug in her mouth and ran around the lounge swinging the mug and distributing tea all over my carpet. Only when the mug was empty did she drop it.
She seems extremely adept at picking things up and carrying them round. How can a dog pick up a mug of hot tea. My task for today is to clean my lounge carpet.
Earlier this week she removed a glass coaster, which is relatively quite thick and heavy, from my coffee table and was sat in the kitchen with it between her paws looking very proud. Again last night I came out of the shower and got changed, went outside to find my mobile phone on the lawn in several pieces. It took a while for me to get it going again. She hadn't chewed it, just took it apart. What a dog. Several times this week she has picked up her dinner bowl and ran outside, done two circuits around the lawn with a red bowl in her mouth. Empty of course. She has certainly livened up my life, never a dull moment.
