I\u2019m not stupid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m many things, but I\u2019m not stupid. Yesterday we went out in the car. That\u2019s not something we\u2019ve been doing a lot of. Over the last few weeks it has meant daycare for me and that is a good thing as I get to see my friends. Anyway, I jumped in to the back full of the joys of autumn. It was a beautiful day and I thought a day with my friends would be perfect. We were a little late leaving, but it\u2019s been that time on some days so I was unconcerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We didn\u2019t turn left. That was the first clue. Despite me shouting to Mum that she was going the wrong way, she can be absentminded, she paid no attention. At the end of the road we turned right and I started to get a sense of foreboding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good journeys and bad journeys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have good journeys turning right and bad journeys. A good one would be when we head to Switzerland. I\u2019m not stupid, I knew we weren\u2019t doing that as we hadn\u2019t packed my bed. A bad journey is when I have to go to the vet. Oh don\u2019t get me wrong, we have what is probably the best vet in the whole world, but it doesn\u2019t mean I like going there. Shadow might be stoic. Ari might take things with resignation. I on the other paw will fight my way out of any situation where someone is going to do anything that hurts me. I was going to the vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Routine visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2018It\u2019s just a routine visit, Wilma.\u2019 I did not want to get out of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would be routine as in routine vaccinations where they stick a needle in me. Routine as in \u2018let\u2019s take a sample from that lump on your shoulder\u2019 with ANOTHER needle. Routine as in \u2018let\u2019s clip your claws\u2019, which I\u2019m never keen on at the best of times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was very happy to get back into the car and the next time Mum says we\u2019re popping out I shall remember to ask where we\u2019re going before I decide to go with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
