Well yesterday was the last day of my staycation. I\u2019ve got missed feelings about today. I don\u2019t like that Mum has to go back to a normal schedule which means less time for walks, but on the plus side I just can\u2019t wait to see Alfie and Aristotle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday we went to a fun day but it wasn\u2019t like any fun day I\u2019ve ever known before. For a start I was the only dog present and from what someone said I don\u2019t think I was supposed to be there either. They would not let me go on the bouncy castle, I just had to watch. They  would not let me try the padded Sumo wrestling suits and actually Mum wouldn\u2019t let Dad try those so I didn\u2019t feel quite so bad. They wouldn\u2019t let me have my own balloon, even though some kept blowing in my direction and they wouldn\u2019t like me eat the sausages off the bar b q. Oh yes and nor would they let me have my face painted like the other children. Most of it seemed unfair especially as all the children added in another fun activity of petting the dog \u2013 being me! The children screamed when they were playing but Mum told me off when I barked. Next time I think I might ask to stay at home with Shadow. Mum said she was glad I was there and it always makes it better for her as she didn\u2019t really know anyone either, so I guess I did my job well and that does feel good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I need to prepare for the boys coming home. I\u2019ve moved my bed back to its usual place so that Alfie can have his favourite spot and taken my bag of food out of Ari\u2019s room so he doesn\u2019t eat it for a midnight snack. These are very important considerations for a dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great week. Alfie will be back for tomorrow\u2019s diary<\/p>\n\n\n\n
