Look After Your Humans Dear Furry Friends,
What is all this Toilet Roll thing going on amongst our Humans! I have never seen the need for them myself. I just bob down on the grass, trying to avoid stinging nettles and do my business, be it a wee or a plop. Easy-Peeasy! Seriously though. What is happening to our lovely world! I know enough from listening to ‘Radio Paw’ that we have something called coronavirus which is infecting people all over the world with many fatalities. It is very sad. Nearly all humans in the UK are on lockdown with the hope that the number of people infected will decrease. At 8pm the other evening , humans all over the UK united to clap from their windows and doors for the amazing NHS workers helping all the sick people. They are under such pressure and so very brave and amazing. I have to say, I did wonder why Mistress and little Mistress started clapping at first. Since Mistress has been under so much pressure trying to get this magazine out I did wonder at that moment that she had lost the plot. She has also been singing ‘Happy Birthday’ whilst washing her hands as has Little Mistress (who usually has an aversion to soap) and I thought it was a big hint that I have forgotten their anniversaries, or more worrying another sign of madness. However, I managed to watch the news and since the humans’ Prime Minister, Boris is telling people to do this to keep the germs at bay, I sighed with relief! It is time for all of us rescued pets, now living such a lovely life with our owners to now look after them. How I am going to show my love:1. Lick the plates before they go in the dishwasher 2. Keep them amused by continuously dropping toys on their lap. A good tip and bound to raise a smile is to sneak your ball on their chair before they sit down! 3. I will not leave my squeaky toy on the stairs for Mistress to trip over ( last time I did that she was not amused) 4. Try not to beg for toast and salivate all over the floor
Keep active with your dog in the garden
With the mention of toast and thinking of food, I would like to thank the lovely man at Salters Pet Nutrition for sending me some of their Veterinary formulated British Dog Food. It tastes delicious! If you would like some delivered to your door, take a look at www.salterspetfood.com I hope when I write my column for the next issue, a coronavirus vaccine has been found. With love
