DOG BLOG - FAN MAIL FROM A CAT!

Dear Jenny
My owner has just received her Bere parish magazine - second hand, too tight to
buy her own!!
Yes, cats can read, I found your article very interesting, and obviously dogs can
write very well!!

My owner is a bit like yours
except she doesn't take me
with her when she goes out.
It does give me some
peace when she goes out
though. She will pick me up
and move me when I have

again, and again, leaves her patio door open slightly. She goes out with a torch
and pads around on the frosty grass, calling my name. All this time, I was curled
up in a nice warm lounge, but that came to an end when I was picked up and
carried home to my owner. Although she said 'you bad girl. what on on earth
have you been up to?', I think she was pleased I was home, she gave me some
food anyway.
I suppose I am lucky really, she adopted me about a year ago when the last lot
