I\u2019m writing this on Tuesday evening while I\u2019m waiting for Megan to arrive. I can\u2019t sit still and have spent most of the day pacing up and down with anxiety. We heard that she had arrived in the country on Monday morning and her breeder was then visiting some friends on the way here. I simply can\u2019t wait to see her and show her round. I\u2019ve heard that she\u2019s feeling a bit tired from her travels so I plan to pamper her and bring her everything she could possibly need.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, my Mistress is in a state of flat panic. She has as you know ordered the summerhouse. However she has just looked at our local council\u2019s website and they have changed their procedures and may require permission for her to put it up. She has checked the actual planning regulations and she wouldn\u2019t be in breach of those so it shouldn\u2019t be a problem, but my Mistress is one of these people who does like to do everything properly and she is now in a flat spin that they might say she can\u2019t do it \u2013 even though legally she can. I hope that makes sense. She is waiting for the planning office to call her back. She has looked at their over complicated form and it really doesn\u2019t seem very well designed for something this simple. \u2018Is the building made of combustible material?\u2019 \u2013 Well which garden shed or summerhouse isn\u2019t made of wood? Then there is a complicated bit about verandas \u2013 but it seems to be referring to things raised off the ground. I would just like to stress at this point that I do not plan to be raised off the ground in any way whatsoever. My paws will be firmly set at ground level and I think it should be considered as more of a deck than a veranda. My Mistress is going to feel a whole lot better when this one is sorted out!<\/p>\n
