I go for coffee

Don’t tell anyone, but I went to Linda’s coffee morning today. It’s really only for ladies and, as you know, I’m a macho dog. But they were all happy to see me and I welcomed everyone when they arrived. I don’t do kissing when I meet people, which is the tradition over here; I gave everyone a friendly wag of the tail instead. My special friends got a lick. Even some French people I didn’t know stopped to say hello to me.

It’s very exciting for me to go to a town — there’s so much to see and smell. I get sniffs of cats, food and people, which are different to what I’m used to in the country. I’m also aware that I have to protect Linda as there are so many humans around. Although it was nice seeing lots of friends, it was very hot and it all got a bit boring after a while, so I went to sleep under the table. Just how much noise can a group of women make? A lot, I can tell you.

I heard them talking about my starring role in Pyramus and Frisbee. I don’t know why some of the ladies started laughing, because it was very dramatic at the time  — you remember I played a fierce lion. I also provided some props as I gave them my own Frisbee to use. No one had thought to bring one along, despite it being central to the play.

They talked too about having lessons in making jewelry. I’m going to suggest that they make a fashionable collar for me to wear when we go out to dinner somewhere smart.
