VALENTINES DAY MASSACRE!

BIG AZI HAS A VALENTINE CARD! Who could have sent it? He thinks it is from me, Brigitte, so I will not tell him it is from that foxy little french Pyrenean bitch Chantal he met at Crufts last year... It will only give him an inflated ego... 'Ma cherie, je t'aime toujours' he growls , so I bite him on the nose & invent a headache.

Big AZI has had a terrible day. He was frog marched to the vets by our Human with no explanation and waited in a queue with three other dogs all scheduled to have their wedding tackle removed for bad behaviour. [ I ask you, who would be a dog? ] Convinced this was to be his fate too, Azi leapt 6 feet in the air screaming when the nurse stuck a needle in him, leaving her holding the empty syringe with the needle bent at 90 degrees, then he completely failed to go dopey, after a long wait, as most of the drug had shot all over the surgery... Our Human sniggered as the nurse tried to look professional in her green uniform- against all the evidence.

Then the Vet came in, dressed in a floorlength overall, facemask, & surgical bootees ,wielding a sort of large pair of shears, whereupon Azi went totally ballistic, knocked over some shelves full of bottles of pills, & with another death defying leap succeeded in pushing the Vet out of the surgery.

The vet returned grimly with another syringefull, & after some more cavorting about succeeded in jabbing Azi in the bum with it. After a few minutes Azi keeled over and work began...

The jab to wake him up again took effect immediately, & to his immense relief Azi's dazed investigations revealed that he now had the shortest set of toenails and neatest clipped feet in all Wiltshire, & was seemingly intact in all other departments.....He has been groggy ever since, 'I ave zee 'eadach, eeet eez terrible, Brigitte....'

WOW, Here we are on the AFFENPINSCHER WEBSITE! Such is technology--until the pups pulled out the modem wires & disconnected us, that is.... They must know there is oneof them advertised on the Kennel Club website.. He is hiding in the coalhole.. Little does he know he is destined for a life of luxurious ease &.will be seeing his relative Idris- Avantgarde Airbourne Lad- every few days. So now the affen population of Wales has doubled overnight... Big Azi is thankful to see some puppies go to their new homes.. They have been tormenting him...
