Betster’s Bugle

These humans, eh?

First they want to dress me up like one of them, and then they ask me to Blog for them!

Plus, I have suffered the indignity of having a chip put into the back of my neck so that every time I go to the vet’s I bleep and everyone smiles and exclaims with relief- Have they never heard a bleep before!?

But at least my vet is lovely- she feeds me treats all the time and tells everyone that her favourite name for a dog is Betty. (Of course she means I’m her favourite dog, but can’t quite bring herself to admit it- imagine the brawls in the waiting room if all those *others* had to pay court to me.)

I’m also having rabies shots, as apparently I’m holidaying in France next summer and my humans can’t bear the thought of leaving me behind. Surprised?

Oh, its a hard life.

The humans’ pack leader (though of course, he defers to me) commented only this morning that with a leather sofa covered in a nice cosy rug and a squishy cushion to rest my head on, I have better sleeping conditions than he does (I suspect my mummy human steals all the bedcovers) (but I can’t be too angry with her- here she is saving me from the indignity of being *dressed up* by the youngest member of the family…)

NEWS FROM THE WRITING CAVE

June 19th Cleckheaton library (one of the most beautiful I have ever visited with my human- though they make me stay outside- cheek!) at 7.30pm, Kirklees Writer in Residence, Susan Stephens will be chatting about her life as a writer, as well as her joy of reading fantastic, ever evolving, ever fresh and exciting Mills & Boon novels.

- Susan asked me to write her Press Release, though personally, I think this mail should be all about me…

Woof woof from my Day bed,

Her Royal Betship signing off with a giant-sized royal lick.

  1. Oh, I haven’t been able to make a comment for ages and today the blog will allow me!!! Poor Bet, it is awful to be dressed up. I would never dress up The Labradors. It is undignified. Wow, an overseas trip!! Lucky duck. Harki and Peri both have chips and tattoos in their ears too!!!
    Your mum is very kind to save you!!

  2. Welcome, Cindy!! It’s so good to be back. Have to admit, I quailed when I received notification of a comment and was so relieved to see it was you. These spammers spoil it for all of us.

    Yes, I’m big on doggy dignity- we don’t know how much they understand and I couldn’t bear it if Bet thought we were laughing at her. Sx
