Caught napping! Sometimes I just need some down time and the
Boss and Mrs readily agree that the idea is a good one and I should just lie
down and close my eyes for a while.
Sometimes if I open one eye I spot them taking the opportunity to do the
same. Here I am snoozing with my
favourite toy Bun-Buns – a bit of a baby name for her but then I am still under
three and entitled to a playful childhood.
Once Bun-Buns was mistaken for a
real live rabbit sitting in the far corner of the field and cries of excitement
were heard from new friends who hadn’t seen her before and didn’t realise she
was my plaything. She happened to be sitting in a very lifelike pose where I
had flung her and, when I barreled forwards, pounced and threw her in the air
ready for more play, screams of distress were heard until I brought her back to
show them. Giggles and sighs of relief were heard all round after they realised
she was my stuffed toy.
I was a little shocked that they
thought I would treat game in that manner, after all I am trained! I retrieve, fetch and carry all game
carefully and deposit it at the Boss’s feet without damage. Bun-Buns is a bit of light relief, a jolly
good playmate and a soft cushion when I need a bit of shut eye.
