I really am a patient dog.
When I’m ready to jump out of car and Mummy says ‘Wait’, I wait.
When she says ‘okay’ I Jump out.
When Mummy holds a treat in her hand and says ‘Wait’, I wait.
When she says ‘okay’ I grab it with my mouth.
When I’m on my lead and Mummy opens the gate and says ‘Wait’, I wait.
She goes out first but when she says ‘okay’ I go out too and to take her for a walk.
‘Wait’ is not a nice word like ‘treat’ and ‘good-doggy’. But is better than ‘off’ and ‘no’ [‘specially when they are shouted.] I don’t like ‘wait’ but it’s not too bad as long as ‘okay’ comes soon after.

And I am a very patient dog.
But when she says words like ‘when I’m ready’ or ‘maybe’ or ‘all in good time’ it means I have to wait forever and ever… Forever and ever is a very, very, very long time. Like I’m still waiting for my book to be people-puppy ready.
I am a very patient dog,
but I’m not a very, very, very patient dog.

My friend Vincent did a picture for the cover of my book. He is a very good draw-er. [‘What was that Mum?’ … ‘Blah, blah, mumble, mumble illustrator’ …’Okay, Mum’.] Mummy says I should say ‘illustrator’ instead of draw-er. But I did not like the way he drew me—it made me look ‘dopey’ and I am not a dope. |
Much better. So Mummy sent him some photos of me. [Mummy is not good at drawing, but she is good at taking pictures.] So he put together his drawing with Mummy’s pictures. |
So the cover of my book is ready, but I’m still waiting.
Maybe this forever and ever will be over soon.
I sure hope so.
