Why is it?

That when Otto comes onto the sofa and drapes himself across my lap, his boney wee elbows always manage to find that spot in my thigh which causes excruciating pain??

Schooling with no stirrups yesterday really hasn't helped the matter either.

I have nearly hit the ceiling several times today, everytime he just looks put out by my squealing and shoving him off me, but I know inside he is laughing and plotting his next move

If he wasn't so cosy warm and effective as a hot water bottle I'd be banning him from the sofa (well, I'd try!)

Well thankfully they don't fit on my lap but both of mine do a fine line in headbutting (my mother's face was covered in mud splatters last Sunday, which we all declined to tell her about

) and high-speed-behind-the-knee attacks, designed to make silly owners collapse in a heap without warning

Oh, Otto does a magnificent line in high speed knee attacks, my OH gets very worried when Otto is looning about behind him as apparently it's a classic way of busting your ACL!

Otto has a big splatty paw as well, which comes in very handy when you want to get your lazy owners out of bed, simply sit on their chest and splat them in the face with said paw. Although be careful if your owner happens to be a grumpy female as you often get launched across the bedroom after performing the splatty paw!!

Oh yes, the splat, or 'High-Five' - I get those in the face and on the knee from B when I am not giving him enough attention. Spoilt brat!!!!

Not that these dogs are in-charge of us or anything...
