After the travel problems of yesterday and with a relatively short drive today, you\u2019d like to think that nothing could go wrong. But you\u2019d be wrong! My Mistress was happily chatting on the phone, then driving along listening to a cd, when a thought crossed her mind \u2018I\u2019ve left my pillow behind!\u2019 Ok, so she\u2019s not normal and most people don\u2019t take their own pillow when they travel, but she does and she has left it in the hotel fifteen miles previous. So she turned round and just for good measure not only was it a toll road, but the dear satellite navigation system took her by another odd route. An hour after first leaving the hotel she left it for a second time, complete with pillow and, I\u2019m pleased to say, Shadow! The rest of the day was less eventful and they are all set to cross the Channel and meet me in Maidenhead this evening. I just need to round up my master and the children and Aristotle and make sure we all get there at a reasonable time so she isn\u2019t on her own. Actually, if I\u2019m being truthful it\u2019s more that I want to hurry them all up so I can see her as I\u2019ve missed her and it\u2019s been a long week. I\u2019ve managed not to tell Aristotle about his bed, so that will be a nice surprise for him. He may work it out when we don\u2019t pack one for him, but he\u2019s not that used to going away and it will be his first time in a hotel. I know when I first stayed in a hotel I was expecting a hotel provided bed, so I was quite disappointed when I had to take my own \u2013 so he may not have any idea. Mind you, I was only four months old so I still had a lot to learn, now he\u2019s a year old he can hardly call himself a puppy anymore \u2013 although of course being the youngest he probably always will.<\/p>\n
