Today M came home and she asked me if I had been moonlighting as a model. I was indignant – what did she mean? She then showed me a book cover, “Secrets to Happiness”. The cover photo shows a puppy lying on its back on the greenest thick grass with the sun shining down and I will admit that if you squint a bit the puppy looks like me. Without reading the book I can guess that the secrets it will reveal is to take joy in the little things – like lying in the warm sun. This is something I know all about – and I am teaching M and G this everyday: the feeling of rubber on your teeth, cuddling together during an afternoon siesta, the thrill of a new smell, the tiny adventures of exploring your body as you roll around on the floor. Yes the secrets to happiness reside in me. Although, the money my agent is tucking away for me off shore won’t hurt either.
That's the way Steve! And do remember that once you're keeping M and G in the style to which they have become accustomed, your dogfather has always had a hankering for a small château...
