A day in the life of....... Ebony. Head of Security
My name is ebony. I'm am a 5 year old black Labrador.
My day starts at around 8.20 when my owners Steve and David wake up.
My first job after they put my diamante collar on is to get to the back door before the horrible cat I live with gets there. It's always fun to terrorise her. She always seems to get her breakfast first and this is something that I have had to get used to. I particularly hate it when she drinks water from my bowl but if I try and stop her she just spits at me.
Being a dog I am constantly surprised and never know what or where I am going next. At about 9.20 I leave the house in the back of a car and we head off to the beach I get to run up and down and sniff out other dogs. I am very well behaved and so don't need to go on the lead very often.
I was one of 6 puppies and when I was picked I went home with my brother Bailey. The problem was we never really got on very well and we were very naughty, my owners had a terrible time trying to train us as we used to cause trouble together and finally we had to be separated. It caused them a big problem because they really thought it would be nice to have 2 dogs and didn't want to give one of us up but Luckily my owners friend took my brother and now he has a great life, he is very spoilt like me and we still see each other and enjoy playing together when we can.
Unfortunately I am a working dog, I am head of security at Mad about Furniture. It's actually a great place to work and I don't have many responsibilities, mainly it's just sleeping and keeping quiet. When people come in I have to give a little friendly growl to let them know I am there. I can quickly gage if they like me and if I think I may get a little cuddle I wag my tail and wiggle over to them for a quick hi. They sell lots of great furniture and always seem to have customers in the shop, I do wish though sometimes I could work in a pet shop where they would be more food and different animals to annoy.
If I'm lucky my favourite people will come in and take me out for a very long walk and wear me out. I don't have lunch but when the owners go out I normally go too.
I’m on the beach again by 7pm for more fun. Often we go to an Indian restaurant where I have learnt that if I am well behaved and wag my tail the very nice Indian chef will give me a big bowl of chicken tikka with rice. If we go straight home I get dinner about 8pm and then I just laze about on the floor staring at the cat or sneaking up on to the sofa, in the summer I love swimming in the pool and if it's hot I just walk in the pool and have a swim about.
Sometimes David makes me do silly tricks but I am usually allowed to go to bed at 11pm. My dreams are mainly about the cat or food or playing in the garden with my favourite people.
