Megan is not a happy dog. She has decided that going on holiday is all too strange and she\u2019d much rather be at home in familiar surroundings with me. Normally when she is travelling she is fine, but this time has all proved a bit too much. She says the boat traumatised her and to be honest I can quite understand that, but now she is in a hotel and she doesn\u2019t like it at all. She keeps panicking and thinking she has to be on guard, when my mistress wants her just to relax and put her paws up. According to Megan it is because the corridor is rather dimly lit and she keeps finding strange people lurking in places she wasn\u2019t expecting to find them. My Mistress is surprised she hasn\u2019t been asked to leave yet. Somehow screaming kicking children being dragged through reception are much more easily tolerated than a crazy barking dog. Thankfully Shadow is showing maturity and behaving well so my Mistress can at least rely on her to help when necessary, but poor Megan is very jumpy and my Mistress just wants to get her back to familiar surroundings to settle her down again. It won\u2019t be long now and then we\u2019ll all be reunited and happy. I can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n
Aristotle has been chalking off the hours until they return. I\u2019ve told him he needs to try to get it off the wall before my Mistress comes home and sees what he\u2019s done. I know it\u2019s just because he\u2019s missing her, but that is not excuse for drawing green chalk lines all over the paintwork. I\u2019m not sure which he\u2019s looking forward to most, seeing everyone or starting on his swimming lessons next week. He keeps telling me it\u2019s hydrotherapy, but I\u2019ve seen him looking at the brochure with pictures of a dog playing with toys in the pool and I\u2019m not fooled.<\/p>\n
