Ozzy



My name is Harry, Iv'e heard it said that I am a King Charles Spaniel which is a type of dog and I believe I'm around 6 years old. My ears are too long my nose too wet and my legs too short but despite this I enjoy my life in North Wales and spend each day being harassed and belittled by my good “friend” Ozzy. Ozzy is as Iv'e heard it said is called a cat, with a large pink belly and very long whiskers which in my opinion makes him a really peculiar creature.

Each morning my two legged friends let me outside to do my ritual leg cocking and squats, I presume this is because they seem adverse to me cocking my leg up against the kitchen table! They feed both myself and Ozzy and then goodbyes are said and off they go, Each time this happens Ozzy and myself look at each other in disbelief, are they really going to leave us alone all day here in this house, to do whatever we like? Are they mad? Or maybe they just do not know what shananigan's we get upto.. well you are about to find out the adventures we embark upon...

Day 1 …

The day starts with Ozzy making the high pitched whining noise that he never tires of making, a sort of meeeow, meeeeow, meeeow, this can means one thing, the day is about to start and the pair upstairs have awaken, Ozzy always becomes alerted to any rumblings and starts his morning chorus I on the otherhand am not so keen on any premature early morning risings.

When I eventually raise my head, I hear slurping from the kitchen, Ozzy's been fed, foul play is afoot here, where's my food? On entering the kitchen the taller human is there doing what he always does, it always seems like some sort of pre leaving the house ritual of packing things into a box and putting on layers and layers of clothes, I suppose those humans get very cold out there without the fur I have, lucky me ,I need to let the taller human know I'm hungry, so I try the “bum shake”, this involves me staying rooted to the spot and shaking side to side, sometimes this works but not today as my human friend seems distracted, must be late for wherever he's going, these humans are always rushing around somewhere, I presume wherever they go everyday is very, very important. The humans treat me well, the taller one sometimes does shout at me but also gives my belly a rub in just the right spot, the more tame, smaller human is more patient with me and usually after some mild persuasion allows me to dump my chunky frame on her lap every night.

Back to the issue of food.. as the “bum shake” is failing me this morning I'm going to have to step things up, I'm a hungry dog and I want some food, how does he expect me to make my way back into the living room and hop back on the sofa if I haven't refuelled! What I will simply do is let out my eardrum busting, window shattering bark, woof, woof, woof, that's all it takes, within 30 seconds I am told to “be quiet” and then my bowl is full of lovely plain, dry biscuits, another result!
