I do love having Mum and Dad to myself, but it\u2019s way too quiet around here without the others. I\u2019ve been a bit down if I\u2019m being honest. I know I didn\u2019t get off to a good start this weekend. As soon as Shadow went to kennels and went and peed in her room again. Oh you should have heard Mum get cross with me. \u201cWilma, we\u2019ve had this conversation before and I don\u2019t expect to keep having it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I on the other paw am quite certain we will keep having it. I cannot explain what happens to me but my canine instincts take over and I just feel the need to pee in there. Ari has the same problem. Neither one of us, paw on heart, can tell you why we do it. It\u2019s because we can. Mum remembered to shut the gate for the rest of the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We had a lovely day out on Saturday, but again it got off to a bad start. It was Mum\u2019s fault, by her own admission. She gave me carrot peelings, which I\u2019m not used to and I was liberally sick in my bed as a result. At least she had the decency to take the blame for that one. It was also the first time I\u2019ve spent a long time in a car for ages (eighteen months) and it\u2019s really tiring when you aren\u2019t used to it. It was a hot day too. On the other paw, it was worth it. I got to see where we are hoping to live. There is a walk almost opposite the house that goes quite a long way and is perfect. It\u2019s a lane that is a dead end and has almost no traffic. The views are pawsome and even I could see for miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a dog bin which was helpful, but normally Mum takes the bags home for the bin at home so not a big problem. We didn\u2019t have time to walk as far as might be possible, but Mum has promised we can go down there pretty much every day and I\u2019m putting my paw up for that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The garden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The garden for the house is lovely. Oh I can\u2019t begin to tell you all about it. There are so many lovely trees. There are sheep in the field behind and in the one at the side too. It\u2019s a garden that anyone in their right mind would want to spend time in. I can\u2019t wait. I think Shadow and Ari will love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Wilma does not like being an only dog.
