Crystal's Blog # 3 - Listening to all their Boring Stuff...

My mums a Russian, I know this cos sometimes Dad tells her so with another funny word in front. The old boy watches a lot of a thing called TV. I know this too, as I have to endure it if I want any attention. Sometimes dad tells mom all about an event called the second world war, from something he sat through or most of it pre snooze in the afternoonn. Tonight she got a lot of old stuff about things called tanks. I think he was trying to be nice, cos he kept saying how good her lot whatever that means? were are at making them. He has a good memory at least for an hour or so, so the poor old girl gets a great wad of statistics about these bloody tanks in a sort of rambling monologue. As I heard the 'matinee' version in the afternoon, I grab forty winks at this stage and when I wake up she's asleep and he's still only about half way through his diatribe! Seeing me alert he suddenly remembers its time for our walk. I really enjoy this bit as I get to smell all sorts of strange things and meet up with some of my fans as well. Unfortunately girls, he proceeds giving me the story where he left off - boring? Top tip, if yours persists in this sort of behaviour, create a distraction. Bark at anything, this confuses them as they start trying to find the object of such action. With a bit of luck, he forgets where he was at and with a bit of the old jumping up they love this you'll have nudged yours on. If that fails go and sniff at something unpleasant. This promotes the 911 response and they get really wound up. Usually I get the deep sea diver hoist up bit on my harness, a bit humiliating, but anything for a quiet life! Byeee for now...
