Well, three days of rehearsal gone and still no-one has realised what a mistake it has been not giving me lines.  There's still time I suppose...  Personally, I don't think they appreciate the calibre of the canine they're dealing with.  It's just unlucky that my acting career before this has been blighted by a succession of near misses.  I was up for the title role in The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-time but apparently I was the 'wrong colour'.  And in a recent revival of Oliver the part of Bill Sykes' dog, Bullseye, went to a rather camp Staffy called Lawrence; I was the 'wrong breed' that time.  I give up!

Me in the rehearsal room awaiting my first starring moment.
