My dog Charlie 13.5.08

Well! Charlie who is a tricolour King Charles Cavalier is now a quadcolour if there is such a thing. Yes he's been at my paints again! this time it was Phthalo Green so he's black white & tan with phthalo green lips chin chest and front paws!!! Thank god for baby wipes the paint that he stole from the art room was acrylic liquitex and like the very good mannered dog he is when he stole the tube he came to show me that he had stolen something an when he was sure he had got my attention he then bounded off to the bedroom with me in hot pursuit.. The paint wasn't the only thing he stole today, there was the sewing pin, you know the one's with the coloured ball on the blunt end, it's the second time he has managed to get his sticky little mouth on one of my sewing pins and yet he did bring it to me to show that he had got it before once again bounding off to the bedroom with me hot on his paws, the other thing was a reel of cotton, unfortunately he didn't own up to that one so by the time I discovered he had it, it was squashed flat and covered in dog slob. Charlie's steeling is obviously a cry for attention, because he mostly does it when I'm absorbed in something, so he steels something of mine, but just to make sure he gets my attention he runs up to me stops dead in front of me and puts his head on one side, then when he's sure he's caught me eye he runs off to the bedroom, if he thinks I haven't got the message he runs back to me with the stolen object and with a glint in his eye runs off to the bedroom again, he knows he's in trouble and will often get a tap on the nose for steeling but it doesn't seem to deter him.
