Bouncer thinks this is really funny.

“We all cocked our legs” – he can hardly tell us for laughing – “and piddled on his bag!”

Bella always looks rather shocked at this.

“That wasn’t very nice,” she says.

She is a little bit prim, is Bella. For my part, I have to admit, I find it difficult not to smile.

“It wasn’t meant to be nice,” gasps Bouncer, wiping his eye with a paw. “It was meant to be funny.”

“Piddling on someone’s bag?” says Bella.

“Dogs will be dogs,” I tell her.

One day, the gang went too far. They rushed into the local shopping centre and started pulling up the plants. Someone called the police, and that was it: they found themselves under arrest. The shame of it! But Bouncer can’t help swaggering, even now. The way he tells it, you’d think it was something to be proud of. He even claimed, once, that the gang made a daring escape.

“We dug a tunnel and crawled up through the sewers!”

He later admitted that this was not true. All that happened was that his owner was called to the police station to collect him. Even then she didn’t tell him off!

“She was just pleased to have me back,” said Bouncer.

“You mean, she didn’t say anything?” I couldn’t believe it! I would have sent him to bed with bread and water.

Bouncer put his head on one side and thought about it.

“She did say something… she said, one of these days you are going to get into real trouble.”

And he did!
