It would have been so much easier to follow the list of instructions for the weekend that my Mistress left for me if I hadn\u2019t dropped them in the washing up bowl, whilst it was filled with water. I\u2019ve tried drying it out, but the paper has slightly disintegrated and there are key pieces of information missing. She\u2019ll never leave me in charge again if I make a complete mess of this. For a start I can\u2019t read which programme setting I am to use for the washing machine. I know it matters if I get it wrong and I really didn\u2019t want to have to ring to ask her. My Master says he knows what temperature to cook a pizza on so he has got all the information he needs. The girls were trying to tell me that they should get more food but that one was easy as there is a marker on the container and I\u2019m not completely stupid. Megan asked if I was going to take her out for a walk, but I said I thought I ought to leave that to my Master as I don\u2019t think my Mistress intended for us to go out on our own. I do miss my Mistress when she goes away. The worst part is 5am when I\u2019m ready to get into bed with her for a cuddle and she\u2019s not there. I stand patiently by the side of the bed, but my master doesn\u2019t stir. It really isn\u2019t the same without her. I can clamber onto her side of the bed and breathe in the smell of where she should be, but it isn\u2019t the same without someone lifting the cover for me to get in and snuggle right up to her body. We do have a very special relationship. <\/span><\/p>\n
