What's a dog to do?

So tell me what is wrong with a little 'eau de chien'? Why does it matter if I've got just a little bit of itch? When you get to my age (very nearly 13 should anyone be interested) surely I can be spared the horrors of the bathroom? Not all spaniels like clean water - I would have thought they'd have got the message by now.

Fortunately, after this trauma, mum cleared out the fridge and I was compensated with some left over ham AND the remains of a roast chicken. So you will be pleased to know that I am now fully recovered from my ordeal.

And tomorrow I expect I'll go for a walk on the forest where there should be lots of pony poo......

All is not lost!
