Magnus 11th November

Well, we survived Hallowe'en and Bonfire Night.  Did have a bit of a fright on the 5th, when I heard a big bang, but Pam and Ewen had the curtains closed, the fire on and the TV up loud.  We all cuddled down in the wee sitting room and ignored it all.  So, phew, that's them over now for another year.  I really don't like Bonfire night.  It is really not nice for us animals.  Hate to think what it must be like for the horses, sheep and cows.  They have to be outside.  At least I had someone to snuggle into.  And I got ham for being brave.  Bring on Christmas.

I, personally, don't know what the fuss is about.  You ignore the door if "Guisers" come.  I am Scottish.  We go guising, NOT trick or treating.  Glad to see the return of the tumshie lantern.  Pumpkins don't come from Scotland.  Anyway, firework night was fine.  I stretched out on the couch and chilled.  Big Boy did get a bit of fright with one big bang.  However, I have to remember his dislike all started when some inconsiderate human decided to have an impromptu birthday party near us, without letting us know.  Magnus was outside having a pee when a firework went off about twenty feet from him.  He hasn't been the same since.  Boomer, the Newfoundland from next door, was in the same position.  His owners were very unhappy and I think they barked loudly about the affair.  So, an element of sympathy for the big guy.  Thumbs down to unthinking humans.
