Plan "Take Over Queen Mary 2" status: Failed

Today Nikki went to Stongehenge (see pic) and left me with the kennel master. I have been studying him for a week now, and I thought I knew his weaknesses. First, he thinks I'm an innocent Schnauzer. I do the "cuddle up" routine very well. Little does he know I'm a trained killer (of small rodents, but still). Secondly, he can't watch me ALL the time. Or so I thought. Actually he can. And, when he's not watching me, there are three dratted locks to un-do before I can make my way swiftly to the bridge for my takeover. I can even see the bridge from the dog run, and those guys in white uniforms don't seem so tough from here. In any case, there was no opportunity today to make a break for it. Plus, I have to admit that I was having fun barking at all the new people that came onto the ship today in South Hampton. And, the kennel master was giving me all his attention (I'm the only dog on board now), so I got a little complacent. By the time Nikki got back from trying to uncover the secrets of the ancients, I had ditched my plan a decided to just get lavished with attention instead. There's always tomorrow.

Oh well. But, you never know, Pepper, attention may end up better than rule over the ship anyway.

Hi Pepper, Glad to hear you are having such a great journey. Of course schnauzers rule the world it is just that not everyone is yet aware of this fact. Give it time!!We would love to come to Paris as well but unfortunately we live in Australia and it is too far by boat and we certainly do not like the idea of spending time in the hold. Just not schnauzer like, is it?Anyway, we will keep reading your blog so keep writing.Pip and Holly your miniature schnauzer friends from the land down under.
