OH NO!

THE PARTIES BEEN CANCELLED!
Judith, the very nice party organiser, has just rung to say that there is 'the possibility of infection at the vets surgery' (I would have thought that was always a distinct possibility. It's where you take sick animals!) and the party wasn't going to be on tonight!
Needless to say we are devastated because we're all brushed and perfumed and were really looking to knocking seven bells out of Milo Schmilo and impressing him with our new barking skills, and now we can't do it until next week!
So, in a fit of pique, we'll just stay in our crate and shred the contents of the Daily Mail after jumping in our water bowl and  getting ourselves soaked. So now we are covered in water and newsprint - AND OUR MUM NEEDN'T HAVE BOTHERED GIVING US A WASH AND BRUSH UP AT ALL!
