You don't laugh about royalties!!!

               I know I have been silent for quite a while, but I was quite busy. And if I was not, then Chris was not on the PC. You know, the same old story...

 

Anyway, I might have told you that we had a visitor for much of the weekend before last and a bit over that, too. Sophia was here and went around the city and things like that while Chris was working and I was enjoying the routine of my royal bed at work. But I like Sophia. When Chris was too tired or didn't want to move, she took me out for a Hapoo walk, and I didn't greatly mind. She also is one of the visitors who like to pet me - what a wonderful change. But she never touched the leash while Chris held me or so. But she had two stories to share with Chris.

 

You know, when Chris tries on clothes, usually in front of the tiny separated corner where she tries them on in a shop there is a mirror. And If I don't fit into that artificial corner, then I am put down outside. There was a strange thing I don't like much, the mirror again this time. I tried to make sense of the dog that was looking at me and tried to avoid direct eye contact. All of a sudden Sophia started laughing and told Chris it looked just like I was looking at myself and my beautiful fur in the mirror, turning my head to either side and keeping an eye on myself. She laughed about that for quite a while, silly child.

 

The otheer incident was much better. The last night Sophia was there, we went to the beach area. We never made it to the beach, because it was raining on and off, and while the ladies were eating, we sat under an artificial roof that shelters the ones stuffing themselves from too much sun or the rain.  Chris asked the waiter for Hapoo water for me, and he brought it right after the ladies' drinks. He put it up on a stone. But had he left it there, I would have had to move from where I was just lying.

So sorry, dear man, didn't you know that the royal attitude can sometimes not be hidden any longer? I had to cast him a really good royal look - who are you to make me get up from my comfy place, just because have tahek the time to bring me water?

The good thing was that the man was affected by my look, and great servant that he was, picked up the bowl again and moved it down from the stone right in front of me, so I could finish it in one go without having to get up. Well, you have to give it to me, I honored him by not leaving a drop in the water bowl, sometimes I don't even touch the water folks give me in restaurant. He did do a good job, and I am so delighted my royal attitude was understood for once.

 

What I don't understand though, why did Sophia laugh about that one? It is nothing to laugh about when you finally make it understood that you are who you are, the royal woofer with such attitude. The ladies did agree that I am not arrogant, but that I just have my attitude, and I, my dogful self, know just what I want and what I can get. I think girls know that, too, though sometimes they lose big time, like Chris lost Shadow.

It's not fair she did lose, because I lose to her in most cases. I thought she was a winner all the time. She tells meto stop crying after Shadow, and that she is a winner in life very well, but I don't believe and I don't understand that attitude of hers. I at least never, or hardly ever, win when it really matters, but that's allright, as long as she and the rest of the world accept that I am the royal Hapoo.

Cheers, Hapoo.
