My Mistress said she\u2019d never seen the flooding round here as bed. That was just before the whole \u201cI remember the flooding of 19\u2026\u201d for which I loyally kept one eye open while dozing quietly. Needless to say it wasn\u2019t round here. It was somewhere I have never been and it all meant nothing to me.<\/p>\n<p>Amigo got off in the end yesterday. He had a bit of a panic when they arrive at Holyhead. There were just too many noises and new things and he got a bit over excited. Fortunately a few minutes back in the car seemed to settle him down and he eventually said he was ready to board the ship. My Mistress was shaking when he went through. She is so concerned that he will be happy in his new home and settle down there. It\u2019s been a hard start in life for him and getting used to lots of new places and people is never easy whether you are a dog or a human. It is a shame he couldn\u2019t come to the fun day today before he set off, but we can at least write to him and tell him all about it.<\/p>\n<p>So we are back to being \u2018just\u2019 the four of us and not a pregnant dog amongst us. It means my Mistress is now trying to plan a \u2018family\u2019 summer holiday and work out how she takes Shadow and Megan for mating later in the year. By \u2018family\u2019 I mean we four dogs will have to draw straws. It seems that two of us can go and two have to stay in kennels. I can see there are going to be arguments over this one. I of course think that Aristotle and I should go. He has never been on holiday and I haven\u2019t been for a while. The girls have both had foreign holidays in the last few years. I think that sounds fair. The girls have got quite cross saying there\u2019s were not holidays and they have had very stressful times and need a break.
