My Cousin Russell and His Busy Life

Friday was Take Your Master To Work Day so my cousin, Russell, took along his mum-master. While Russell was looking into a problem with one of the NASA databases, he kept his mum-master busy with making cups of tea and coffee. Occasionally, she even answered the telephone for him too. It’s not something Russell would like to do too often, but mum-master seemed to enjoy herself.

On Saturday Russell took mum-master and dad-master out for a stroll on the Common. They don’t get much fresh air, so Russell likes to take them out as much as he can. On the Common, they throw tennis balls around (it’s probably good exercise for their arms) but they can’t be bothered to fetch them back. So Russell has to go running after the balls and bring them back each time – otherwise they’d lose them all. Sometimes, just to teach them a lesson, Russell chews the balls up into little bits instead of bringing them back. This seems to give mum-master and dad-master a lot of pleasure though – so much so, they throw even more tennis balls around.
Rubbish tennis balls...!
When the weather is really nice, Russell takes them down to the beach. It’s a bit far to go outside of London, but they’re quite well behaved in the car, so he doesn’t mind.

Russell is an excellent runner. If he’d had the time to train, he would have entered the London Marathon – but he’s so busy with his computer programming that he finds it difficult. He can outrun every dog on the Common though and despite all the other dogs trying, no one has been able to catch up with him yet!
I’ve got so much to live up to, where my cousin Russell is concerned….
Dogs That Blog and Dogs That Sleep

A lot of people don’t actually believe I’m writing these blog posts myself. Of course, they are absolutely right – I am only an 8 week old puppy, after all!
They are actually written by my cousin, Russell – who is one helluva computer geek. As well as typing my posts for me, he also assists with programming one of the NASA databases. He’s online first thing every morning, even before he’s got out of bed. When I get a bit older, Russell is going to teach me everything he knows.
Russell is a real computer geek
While Russell is working, I’m still sleeping. I have sussed out how to get extra treats and lots of praise from new mum and new dad, and it didn’t take brains to work out either.
I take myself off to bed each night – without any prompting from them – at about 7.30 in the evening and I stay in bed ALL night until about 7.30 in the morning. I would stay in bed for longer, or at least until I hear new mum and new dad get up, but by then I am SO hungry I have to call out to them for breakfast.
Then I gets lots of love and cuddles and a lovely big breakfast. It’s quite simple really!
Eat, sleep, play and more sleep
