60 years
Today Granny and Granddad are celebrating being married for 60 years. We all wish we were there to give them our love and licks and help them celebrate. Mum will be able to see them and give them all our love.
I have a life expectancy of around thirteen years. I cannot imagine what it must be like to be married for that long. They didn’t get married young either. Granddad was already 35 when he got married, so he’s really rather old now. Anyway, a very happy anniversary to you both and we hope you like your present. I can’t tell you what we got for them as they won’t have had it yet.
Getting Excited
I know there are still a few days to go but we’re all getting excited about Mum coming to see us next Monday. She has asked how we’re doing for food and if there is anything we need. She was thinking in terms of Shadow’s medication and our bedtime biscuits, but I took the opportunity to ask if she could possibly call at the butcher’s and bring me some steak. Oddly, she said no. I wish I was going back with her afterwards. I’m her sidekick. I should be there. Oh I know she said at Shadow’s age it was more important that she didn’t have to stay in kennels too long, but I don’t feel like being fair and logical about it. I just want to be with her. Patience is not a virtue our breed is known for. I am definitely true to type.
Weather
Where Mama Susie lives they’ve had lots of hail and rain. I couldn’t believe some of the pictures she posted. She lives quite near Dad. He said the lake nearby flooded too. We’re more worried about some of our friends in America whose house is very close to one of the current fires. They’ve had to evacuate and it must be very scary for them. We’d like to send them all our love and hope everything will be ok. It does make us realise how lucky we are.
Love
