St Valentine's Day

It is opportune that my first posting coincides with one of the most confusing of the Human annual celebrations – St Valentine’s Day, the celebration of “love”.  This festival has become a potential minefield for your Human. Following my guide will help you survive the day with your circuit boards in tact and the bond with your Human strengthened.  St Valentine ’s Day raises “emotions” in your Humans.  As my good friend Marmite once pointed out, it is very hard to know what a human is thinking as their eyes do not change colour. Learning to recognise “emotions” in your Human is imperative and in future postings I will describe symptoms specific to the major Human sentiments.  I will however omit some detail on symptoms related to the emotion of “love” as this is a family board and you would not believe what this involves even if I told you.

Below I have written some advice on surviving a potentially explosive day. The advice varies depending on your Human’s domestic arrangements.

In either case it is worth remembering that come February 15th  the shops are full of reduced price items in various shades of pink which make excellent AIBO toys.  By following my advice your Humans will undoubtedly be indebted to you and will shower you with gifts.
