And for his next trick

I came home this evening to find Owen on his best behaviour and doing his best to look all sweet and innocent. Of course I was immediatly wary and checked with Grumpy to see what had been going on. It seemed that Owen had managed to do two quite notable things this morning. The first was with the post where he proceeded to tear open every bit of post ( it came when Grumpy was out) and scatter said contents through the house.

Now we've been having some problems with Owen pulling when on the lead. Now I say some problems but he's own his seventh collar now. For a little dog he has a surprising amount of pull. so in a effort to try and stop this we decided to try a harness to see if this would help stop him pulling. Owen really didn't like this harness and as you may have guessed the second thing he did today involved his harness.

Whilst out on his walk he ran into a bush and without breaking stride came out the other side, without his harness. Apparently it was that quick, he went in one side with it on and came out the other with out it. Of course this remarkable quick change might have had something to do with the fact the bush he went through was so thick Grumpy couldn't even get his arm into it alone see through it. Quite how Owen was able to fit through it was a mystery.

So the Harness remains lost somewhere in the depths of the hedge no doubt to cause great confusion to the farmer next time he cuts the hedge and Owen has got rid of the thing he hated so he's happy. Grumpy however is not and even now is pondering what to do next in his attempts to get Owen trained and to stop him pulling. I'm not too sure who to put money on at this point as their both as stubborn as one another.

I'm going to be in charge at work tomorrow by default. As I'll be the only one in from my team. Everybody else is either out on business, taken the day off or coming down with 'manflu'.

We also had some new books arrive today which is always good. I was especially pleased to see these books as one of them is from one of my favourite series and as you can imagine I'm very keen to read it to see what happens next.

I saw in the news today that they are considering moving the set of 'coronation street' from it's present location to a new site in manchester. I remember when we went to the Granda studios as part of one of my GCSE's. It was very weird to be standing on coronation street. Random fact you may not know but at the time we went the payphone at the end of coronation street actually worked and was a proper pay phone.

anyway,

Later folks
