So aprecious has apparently decided that the only way to really erm lick me into shape (I'm a bit concerned about this, aprecious' breath isn't what it should be) is to wrap me up in a straight jacket.

She's muttering darkly again. I can just catch fragments of it... Ritual humiliation.. Wrest back Control... Never been so embarrassed... Dog's home for little buggers very, very bad pups!? Humiliation. I can't move my front paws! I can't move my back paws! I can't move.

No dog was harmed in the creation of this blip (although I came close).

And any sign of risky sexual behaviour and it's straight to the vets...

Birthday greetings and absolute respect to my big sister who has 8 children and knows a thing or two about teenagers...
