These are really happy days for a dog. The sun is shining. I\u2019ve got both my humans in the same place and they aren\u2019t working. It\u2019s perfect. Almost perfect anyway. Shadow\u2019s hip is hurting so she says I\u2019ll have to go on today\u2019s walk without her. I do love having my humans to myself but I like having her along for company too. We\u2019re going to Beningbrough Hall today. There is a lovely wood we like walking through and as Mum has her mask it will even be ok if the bluebells are in flower. She\u2019s really badly allergic to them so usually avoids going when the bluebells are out. However, because she\u2019s badly allergiv to oil seed rape and there is lots round here she has had to get over how she looks in a mask and accept that\u2019s how life is going to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a dog I am not given cake because it\u2019s bad for me. Why then does Mum keep eating cake? She and Dad went into York yesterday and then told me about the cake they had eaten. Today when we go out she is planning to have cake. Ok, so I\u2019m planning to have ice cream, but I won\u2019t be given any cake. I don\u2019t know whether to ask why I can\u2019t have cake or to point out to Mum that she shouldn\u2019t be having it either. I think it would do her more good if I went for the second approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There has been one big downside of Dad being home. I\u2019ve lost my place on Mum\u2019s bed. All of a sudden he\u2019s there telling me to get into my own bed. Well, pardon me, but I\u2019d taken to thinking this was my bed and I rather like lying back to back with Mum. Ok, so she ends up with bits aching because she\u2019s slept in an awkward position rather than moving me, but I do rather like the body contact. My own bed seems a bit lonely now. I guess it\u2019s only for a short time, so I shouldn\u2019t complain too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
