I’m glad I’m a boy

I got this email this morning from Cousin Thouzi. It made me really glad that I am a boy.

Dear cousin Bacchus,

Sorry it’s been so long but I just haven`t been myself lately. I’ve been crying a lot and moping around carrying my rubber ducky. Mum thought I just might have been depresssed so she took me lots of walkies and fed me nice treats and played with me alot but that didn’t do the trick so she took me to the vet.

Guess what he said??? My hormones (whatever they are) are way out of control and I’m having a phantom pregnancy. That explains why I’m feeling so lousy mum reckons but I’m still a bit confused.

I’m only 3, aren’t I a bit young to be starting a family? I’ve even been trying to dig up mum’s carpet much to her disgust. The vet reckons I’m trying to make a ‘nest’ for my babies. Dunno about these babies cousin Bacchus. I think I’ll just stick to my ducky.

I’m alot happier today, mum took me out in the car to this paddock where dad was being chased by this big funny looking bird. ‘Model Aircraft’ mum called it. Sounds like a funny name for a bird to me but looked like fun so I started chasing it around and it started chasing me back. Very noisy bird–I don’t think you would like it cousin Bacchus. I chased it around for hours but couldn’t catch it so mum and I went a walkies around the paddock and I saw some sheep and ate some sheep poo. Geez I was glad to get home after such a long day.

Must go it’s time for a dog-nap,
Till next time,
Love cousin Thouzi

Ten isn’t himself

My brother Ten isn’t himself. He’s not somebody else though. He’s sick. And we don’t know what is wrong with him. He’s been breathing funny with his mouth open and making loud noises.

Mum and Dad took him to the vet this morning (I went along to give him moral support. I had to go to the vet last week, and it wasn’t much fun). They were going to operate on him, but after sedating him they thought his breathing was a bit better.

He’s been lolling around the house all afternoon looking like he’s on drugs. Every now and then he twitches. It’s a bit weird. But it’s good that he’s not picking on me.

My new cousin Zaggy is a bit of a handful

Mum took me on another loooong ride in the car today. I got to meet my new cousin, Zaggy. He was a bit full on, barking and chasing me like I’d come to take over his backyard, when I’d only come for a visit.

In the end I lost my patience with him and I gave him a bit of a nip on the ear. But that didn’t stop him. Mum had to hold him back by the collar, and Aunty Kay tried to get him to sit down and stop barking.

When I got home, I had this email and photo waiting. Cousin Thouzi sent them to me

Dear Bacchus,

How’s things? All going well here. I’m still eating birthday cake, mmm… mmmm. Mum promised you some photos of our newest cousin so here they are. Isn;t he a cute little thing? Like all us puppies he likes chasing a ball and doesn’t mine a cuppa either.

Scratch you later,
Love cousin Thouzi.
