Today (Isn't it Always)
Now the Thing Is . . .
Well you see it is like this . . .
It's this Cogitate Thing
Sometimes Me "Cogs" just do not seem to "itate" properly
'Cos Me has a Big Unsolved Problem
How can Me explain . . .
If Me is here, and Moment Ago Me is there, and Moment Next me is elsewhere . .
Well WHAT is this MomentThing and WHAT is it Up To ????
Me tries to smell Moment
But Moment has Very Elusive Sniff
Me even try poke FollyThing in ribs so she Whizz Off PlayGameThing
But Moment must go with her like Shadow.
Me listen what Gordonsez
GordonSay clever-man Einstein think Good about Moment.
Me think such things are not for Flatcoats, and just wonder . .

All a bit too much "Cogi" for Me
Me lie on back and wave paws in air . . . Ooooooh!

Today (Isn't it Always)
Steady on FollyThing!
Most of us have had Grand-Dams at one time or another,
nothing to it really . .
you just look them up and there they are, come in pairs they do!!
Now it is NOT the Done Thing to start boasting about your breeding
SOME of us have Breeding and others, less fortunate, do not
So we just do not mention it (we just KNOW!)
Now let me mention a much more important matter
All the Dog People in the U.K. very upset Time Ago as
Government-Yucky-Thing ban selling 'Meat on Bone' 'cos of BSE
This mean no Marrow Bones - BUT
Government-Not-Quite-So-Yucky-Thing changes mind

Yipeeeeee! ME crunch first Marrow-Bone in life and ME over 1 year.
SagSez ME should sue Government-Yuck for compensation
But ME not know who Sue is . .
Gordon gives ME old mooring warp Today Ago Ago and ME use as plaything
Mooring Warp about 30ft long and ME can drag it round house . .
and out into garden . .
and back into house
EVER SO FAST
GordonMate keep uprighting felled coffee tables and rooting unrooted plants
GordonMate Yell at ME - but also fall about laughing like Gordon.

MORE Yells!
