Poor Cocoa





Oh exploding aubergines. I am ever so filled up with mortification. Cocoa’s nose is damaged and it’s all my fault! Cocoa said it was an accident and that he would be ok, but I still feel so very awful.

It all started out so very well. Mummy came home from work with a present for us. It was a jar of POPPING CANDY. Oh! have you ever in a million years seen anything like it!

You put the candy in your mouth and it starts to pop, crackle and explode absolutely everywhere! Oh it was so very much fun. Mr Smiley Face Sunshine tried it first and then I tried some. It was so very very much funny.

And then I put some in a little dish for Cocoa. And do you know what happened next? Cocoa sniffed it and oh my goodness. You have never seen such an explosion. All the candy started popping everywhere. It gave Cocoa and me such an ever so big fright and Cocoa’s nose got all damaged and I had to plaster it up.

I didn’t mean to hurt him. Really I didn’t. I just didn’t realise dogs had wet noses. I thought cocoa would just eat some of the popping candy like me and Mr Smiley Face Sunshine but he sniffed it and the popping candy got wet and started to pop and crackle and explode.

And now poor Cocoa’s nose is damaged and Mummy has taken the rest of the candy away and said she will dish it out under controlled circumstances.

Oh vaporated aubergines. What a totally dreadful state of affairs.

This is so much better than a trillion chocolate mice

Oh oh oh

I just cannot contain myself. Not one squeezy eazy bit.

You will never guess what I got the other day. I got some fan mail.

Real live fan mail. not for Odeletta or Oxford or Mr Smiley Face Sunshine. It’s all for me.

And it’s not from Mr Smiley Face Sunshine either. I got fan mail from a real live human being all just for me.

I am so very dizzy with elation.

This is what the fan mail says:


Dear Octavia

Hello it’s Evie and I think that you are an amazing little owl and I love your blog. It’s awesome to read and I love it. I can’t wait until you are famous.

From your friend Evie.


Did you read that??? I AM AN AMAZING LITTLE OWL.
And she loves my blog. I feel like flapping my wings so very very hard that I would be so very sure to fly.

And she drew a lovely picture of me. No one has ever drawn a picture of me before – not even Mummy.

This is so much better than a trillion chocolate mice. I am going to treasure this letter for ever and ever and ever and ever.
