The grizzly troll fights back

Yes you got it, the grizzly troll is fighting back. Do you have any idea what he has christened me? B RUSSEL SPROUT. He's a fine one to talk, especially after all that food and booze at Christmas. Wouldnt mind but I only did it once. And it was a really quiet one at that,even if it was a trifle RIPE so to speak. And ,and he is trying to stop me going clay pidgeon shooting tomorrow. He reckons it will be too cold and I will freeze. In his dreams... I am a snow dog and a bit of cold is what I was made for. Besides which Merlin and Theia are both going so why can't I? If he seriously thinks he can leave me in a lovely warm basket curled up after a nice cooked breakfast baby sitting those fluff balls he calls cats, well he can think again! The problem is that it actually sounds rather nice but NO NO NO I am going. He is probably a bit tee'd off because Theia is having another sleep over with her two legged boyfriend Steve. This the second time in two weeks and I know he was a bit iffy last time. Well he has got to deal with it. Steve is younger fitter and his hair is black not grey. Every girl is entitled to be spoilt now and then. And she especially deserves it. When she was a puppy, she ran into a patio chair chasing one of the cats, and managed to knock her eye out of it's socket. Mum says it was just like a horror movie but real. Mum rushed out in her dressing gown and slippers cause she could hear her screaming ,shouted dad to ring the vets grabbed the dog and shot off down the vets at a million miles an hour. When they got there, a vet nurse was waiting at the door, and apparently her face went a funny colour looking at Theia. With that dad pulls up in his car and goes rushing in after them all. Now if there is one thing I have learnt about She who must be obeyed it is that she never panics till it's all settled down, but there is one thing she just cant do and that is eyes. So the Grizzly Troll had to go in with her. Anyway to cut a long story short, the vet replaced her eye and stitched it shut to hold every thing in place. Then knowing it would be mum who would have to bathe it and do all Theias medication she went outside to find her. Imagine her surprise when she indoors is standing there in just a dressing gown and slippers in a well lit street with traffic passing, smoking a cigarette when she doesn't smoke!!!!! at eleven o'clock at night in the freezing cold. If you ask me she was lucky she didn't get arrested. Take your pick.... Speeding, indecent exposure, loitering with intent and the list just goes on. Anyway poor Theia had damaged the optic nerve, and despite another operation and going to see a really good eye specialist, her eye has never worked since. If you met her now you would probably not notice, because she copes so well, but her special friends who know how brave she was, still take the time to spoil her. Apparently she has the choice of steak or chicken for tea, pate and toast for breakfast, and a mac muffin for brunch on their way to shooting. Got to say she is something special, and she spends hours playing with me. Anyway I reckon I can slide into the van with mum while he is doing up his laces or something, but I am going! B RUSSEL SPROUT indeed. Now I am definitely hungry so got to go. My life seems to revolve around food at the moment, or treats, or sausages...... Now I really do have to go. Take care , talk later, and cool runnings. Gryff
