I have to tell you about\nmy sister Valeria\u2019s puppies. She gave birth to them on Monday which is when\nthey were due. She started with Galileo at 1pm and then had Garibaldi, Ginger,\nGioia, Gromit, Gladys, and Graziella between then and 11.55pm. Aren\u2019t they the\nmost wonderful names? The vet had to help with Graziella and she is having to\nhave special care. We\u2019re all thinking of her and of course her mum and brothers\nand sisters. I can\u2019t wait to see them all in a few weeks. It would be lovely if\nI get to see Tosca\u2019s puppies again then too, but they may go off to their new\nhomes before I get chance. I do so like being an aunt. We don\u2019t have any\npictures yet, but I really hope we have some soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">England<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well here we are, back in England. There was\na big traffic jam caused by lorries trying to get to the port at Calais. Mum\nsays she really hopes that isn\u2019t a sign of things to come. Then it was much\nslower going through security and passport, but they told us it was no\ndifferent to normal. Even I realised I had to sit looking at the same thing for\nlonger than normal. My check in was longer than normal too. I\u2019m not a patient\ndog. Not even vaguely patient. What do I do when I get bored? I bark! Anyway, Mum\nis used to me and that\u2019s one reason she always carries a bag of treats. She\u2019s really\nmean about it though as she makes me work for every one. On the bright side, I\nforget being bored but when you are made to lie down with a treat in front of\nyour nose and not be allowed to eat it until the next dog goes through and you\ncan move up the queue \u2013 well that\u2019s just plain evil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am also disappointed to find that while Dad\nis still having to dig snow off the drive every day, I\u2019ve come home to mud. Now\ndon\u2019t misunderstand. I love mud as much as &nbsp;more than the next dog, but not as much as I love\nsnow. Mum is also much more inclined to let me roll in snow without objection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 2018 Rosemary J.
