So she finally seems to have decided whether she’s coming or going. ‘Bout time too, if you ask me! First she put all her bags in the hall…always a dodgy sign, that…’specially when my bag is with them. Then she sneaks it into the car. “C’mon, girlie,” she says…as if I didn’t already know I was off to stay with Gooch and co. The only thing I don’t know is for how long… and last time she went away in winter, she was gone for ages and I thought she was never coming back… She did though. She always does.
This time my bag didn’t look quite so big though…
Even so, I kept an eye out for her…and I’m sure I saw her drive past a bit later… and if it was her, looking over at that forlorn little figure in the window, I hope she felt really guilty ‘bout leaving me behind…
Anyway, I’m just nicely settled in with Gooch and co., when she comes back… and has my ball guy with her too! Whoo-hoo! He’s much easier to play with than her… she manages to ignore me sometimes… and isn’t quite as generous about the whole food sharing business… Mind you, by the time I got home, they had the room full of weird stuff… painty things and sticky stuff and and awful lot of ‘don’t-you-dares’ whatever they are… they seemed to be everywhere I tried to sniff though and it was all ‘workshop this’ and workshop that’ and packages arriving that smelled really interesting… But they soon got the idea I was home and put their toys away to play with mine instead.
Trouble is, next day they were off again and were out for ages! I slept while I was waiting, catching up after my holiday with Gooch, you know… but they made up for it when they came back with the balls and the cheese, so I’m not complaining…and the ball guy kept me company while she went to work the next couple of days. Even if he was tapping away at the ‘puter half the time. It must be catching…
So, just when I’m settling in nicely and have the ball guy into a routine of tap-throw-tap-throw… they up and take me back to see Gooch! That was dead sneaky! She didn’t even have much of a bag in the car, so goodness knows what the two of them were up to! All I know is their feet smelled of cows when I finally came back home… and the bit of fudge-stuff she let me try was rather nice…
I managed a cuddle with them both and was all settled down for the evening, when they up and disappear again… and this time, she comes back on her own… she’d lost the ball guy again. Honestly! She just can’t be trusted with anything, that one… she’d forget her head if it was loose…
So it’s gone very quiet here…and she’s tapping away like a mad thing…well, she would, wouldn’t she? True to type…
And she says all she wants to do is sleep…
I thought these holiday malarkeys were supposed to be restful, I says… she just grinned. I have to wonder if she’s had her rabies shot, you know…Apparently there is more than one way to be on holiday, and these two seem to have worked through theirs…
Told you that you two-legses are beyond my understanding…
And they call me a ‘daft dog’?!
Huh!
Much love,
Ani xxx

Two-leggeds get lost all the time. One or the other of mine goes off for ages until I think they are gone for good, then suddenly, they appear right when I had about given up hope. At least you get cheese and sausages, Ani. I only dream about such things. I get ho-hum biscuits, but once in a while I get a pig’s ear which pleases me no end. Your pal, Wren.
