Despite having the dog here and knackering up my life for a month I have found a great new dog related pastime. We're currently moored up right next to the Five Rise Cafe which I've always enjoyed but it's only now that I can see one of the great benefits from being here...
In a word - dogs!
Yes gentle reader dogs. You see the cafe owner (for reasons best known to himself) allows dogs into his premises. The sign says 'well behaved dogs' so that rules Noel out and now I come to think about it I'm not sure that that sign is in fact an oxymoron. There are no well behaved dogs as far as I now. Anyway, the fun starts when the dogs come to the cafe. I simply go up on the roof and parade up and down and genreally enjoy the fresh air. This sends the dogs into barking mode, especially the ones whose owners have elected to sit outside the cafe. However, because I'm on the roof and they're legally required to be on leads they can't touch me and I can take the piss until I'm bored with it all and go back in. It's great fun and it really winds them up. I love listening to their owners telling them to be quiet and looking embarrassed as their hounds make fools of themselves. It makes up for having that lout of a labrador on board.
Actually, it's quite a nice day and the cafe is still open for another hour or so. I might just go up and have a bit of fun. Who would have thought that dogs could be such a great source of merriment?
