I heard from my brother yesterday, he’s looking for a temporary home. His humans aren’t able to look after him for the next twelve months and so he needs to stay somewhere else. I immediately went to talk to my Mistress to see if he could come to us, and she said much as she would love that, and she really thought it would be lovely for me, it just wasn’t practical. She was reminiscing about when she first came to see us and she was cuddling Ramses and my Master was cuddling me. It’s a long time ago now and I don’t really remember it all that clearly as I was only a few weeks old. I certainly don’t regret the decision I made to come and live here, we all get spoilt as any dog should be able to expect.
There is a mammoth walk planned for some point either this morning or tomorrow morning. Not for us boys it would be too far for either of us, but the girls are going. My Mistress wants to finish walking the route she did last Wednesday, which was five miles for the section she did. I suspect it won’t be all that much further than that – maybe six or seven miles in total, but it’s a lot further than I can walk. My Mistress keeps standing on the scales to see if she’s lost any with all the walking but it doesn’t seem to be making any difference. Maybe she needs to run instead of walk!
My Master has eaten our first strawberry. He said it was very tasty and perfectly ripe. It’s a shame that he can only eat them one at a time but that’s better than not having any at all.
