Micia

1. Try to be nicer to the dog next door. HE can't help it if he's not as beautiful nor intelligent as oneself. Mummy says I should behave with grace and humility as becomes a lady of my standing. Grace I understand but what's humility?

2. Try to do more for myself. Do I really HAVE to wake Mummy and Daddy at 3am for them to raise the bed covers so I can snuggle under the blankets with them? YES! Abandon new Year resolution 2)

3. Learn to turn on the electric blanket myself. I know where the switches are but I just do not seem to be able to move them. Obviously this needs practice.

4. Not to leave quite so many teethmarks in the margarine! On the rare occasion when somebody forgets to put the lid back on the container I just cannot resist the temptation to eat margarine. Of course I say it isn't me when Mummy says "Oh Micia, WHEN will you realise straight margarine isn't healthy for you?" but she never seems to believe me.

5. This year I am going to face the Red Devil and kill it! It is not dignified to hide under the bed whenever it comes. Mummy says if I didn't shed quite so much fur she wouldn't need to bring it out as often. Personally I think floors and furniture look quite attractive with a touch of fur on them!
