This morning Shadow and my Mistress will set off once again for their journey home. They won\u2019t get back to England until tomorrow, so the really nerve racking stage of the journey is tomorrow morning. In the meantime they just have to negotiate the drive to a place called Laon where they will stay this evening.<\/p>\n
My Mistress has promised to try to call into the pet shop on her way past to change the collar she bought me, but I don\u2019t know if she will have time. I know it shouldn\u2019t be about me but I did get excited about the prospect of a present. The girls both have beautiful new harnesses and if truth be known I\u2019d quite like one of those but there were only two colours and if we have the same we get into arguments about whose is whose. You only find you have the wrong one when you try to do it up and it pinches before the clasp closes. Then your first thought is good heavens the harness has shrunk and your second thought is, I can\u2019t really have put on that much weight since yesterday and then you finally realise it isn\u2019t your harness.<\/p>\n
I suggested we could put some bunting up outside the house ready for their return, but my Master said that until they have actually arrived on English soil it might be tempting fate. I can see his point, but I don\u2019t want to leave everything to the last minute. I know Shadow will be tired when she comes home but I do want her to know just how pleased we all are to see her. I\u2019m never going to complain about her biting me again. Ok, I might complain a little bit, but it\u2019s better than not having her around and she does keep Megan in check which has to be a good thing. I know I should assert myself and be top dog, but I\u2019m just not that kind of bloke. Being dominated by the women in my life isn\u2019t a bad thing. I think it is having a dominant mother and sister that has done it. I learnt my place early on and wouldn\u2019t dream of rising above it.<\/p>\n
