Happy girl
Wilma is a happy girl. I know she told you that she won a prize at Fun Day, well she’s decided she really really likes it. Skunk-badger as he’s become known, due to his uncertain appearance, has joined Heffelump in the nightly bedtime rituals. I kid you not. Wilma has been following a similar routine for a very long time. She leaves her toys upstairs near her bed and every night when she goes up she is so pleased to see them that she pounces on them and then runs around the bedroom squeaking them for a few minutes before taking them to bed. She’s a happy dog and quite easily pleased. She brings a smile to this old dog’s face that’s for sure.
Moving downstairs
This bit is harder. We’re making preparations for me to move downstairs to sleep. Our Mistress is doing her best to help me up and down, but the reality is that it is getting ever more difficult for me to manage the stairs and it’s hurting her back helping me. Anyway, we’re making preparations to be used if the physio can’t help me. There’s a corner of the kitchen where some things can be moved to other places and our Mistress has assured me she can make room there for my big comfy bed without me being trampled on. It’s going to be a wrench for both of us to be parted at night, but I really can’t see her sleeping in the kitchen with me.
Day out
Wilma has gone out for the day today. She’s gone to see our grandparents with our Mistress. We’d all like to have gone, but our Mistress has promised she won’t be away for too long and it would have been a lot of time in the car for us. I think Wilma’s hoping they might find time to play ball in the back garden while she’s there.
Love
