Monday 18th August 2014 – On my way home

It’s been a long break, but I’m now on my way home, via my other grandparents. I’m really looking forward to being able to wander around the garden and not be on a lead most of the time. I’m looking forward to seeing my big comfortable bed too. Holidays are nice but going home is definitely good at the end of travelling. I shan’t see Shadow and Aristotle until tomorrow so I have chance to make the most of home before they come and join us. It’s going to be odd having to be around them again. I’ve enjoyed being my Mistress’s sole companion and being close to her all the time. Going back to being bottom of the pack is not going to be easy. Perhaps the others will go easy on me for a while.

I didn’t get to go for the lunch yesterday as it turned out that I wasn’t allowed in the restaurant part of the pub. I had to sit outside and wait. My Mistress said she missed me being there, but that’s little consolation when I missed out on roast beef.

It’s back to work of course for me now too. I’ve got a deadline to meet and that’s going to eat into prime nap time. I think my Mistress says she’s got a very busy week this week and we’ve got people coming to visit us on Thursday to see what a group of Entlebuchers is like. It’s probably not the best week when Ari has missed our Mistress while we were away – he tends to be rather over excited for a few days when she comes back and very clingy. I think she may try taking him for a long walk first to quieten him down.
