Responsibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We passed responsibility for our Mistress over to Salvo and Izzy yesterday. For one week of the year our Mistress goes away without the support and assistance of any of us. It\u2019s a worrying time for the four of us, sending her off on her own. To be honest she\u2019s pretty lost without a dog for company and for the leadership we provide for her. She\u2019s only away until<\/p>\n\n\n

Friday but we worry in the meantime. Anyway, for the first part we wave her off and then let Salvo and Izzy know she\u2019s on the way. They live near where she goes for her conference so they check she\u2019s ok up to the last minute when she has to be without us. Anyway, Izzy took her duties very seriously and immediately gave our Mistress a big cuddle. Salvo went to fetch the ball so she could play too, which was equally thoughtful. Then they sent her on her way and let us know she\u2019s ok so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emotional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wilma was a bit emotional about our Mistress going away. She is not very used to being apart from her and feels it more than the rest of us. Wilma started yesterday by insisting on getting into bed with our Mistress for a big cuddle and asked if it was ok for her to ring every day. Of course it is. Our Mistress misses us just as much as we miss her. What was lovely was hearing last night that lots of the people who our Mistress is with asked after us all and sent their love especially to Shadow after her illness. It\u2019s nice that even though we can\u2019t be there they are thinking of us too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alfie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alfie is still not feeling himself. He says he\u2019s be very glad when our Mistress is home again as he\u2019d really like the comfort of her being around. It\u2019s hard for him, but I\u2019ve promised to try not to be too annoying in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great Sunday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
