My Mistress is definitely going soft. She cried when Tucker got on the train yesterday and then came home and gave us all a big cuddle. It\u2019s weird, the puppies seemed a bit down and so did Shadow. They all seemed to know what was going on. By later today when Basil has gone too, the pen is going to seem awfully big for the three of them. I guess we\u2019re going to be feeling very glum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We did hear from Tucker later on to say he\u2019d got home safely and he couldn\u2019t believe how much freedom he has. He doesn\u2019t have to stay in a pen and even gets taken outside to pee. He\u2019s been watching television for the first time, although he didn\u2019t really rate what was on. He\u2019s too busy with all his new things to be missing us all, but I guess that\u2019s how it\u2019s supposed to be. We do want him to be happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We did all behave rather better for the rest of the day. I suppose I started to realise that I\u2019m getting my Mistress back, although she says I never really lost her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once Basil has gone later we\u2019ve been told we have to start helping getting things ready for my Master\u2019s birthday party next weekend. I\u2019ve offered to help ice the cake, but my offer has been declined. Apparently I\u2019m in charge of keeping Aristotle out of the way while my Mistress does the icing! Have I told you how many people are staying at our house next weekend? It\u2019s going to be mad. Ari and Megan are going to kennels. I offered to go, but my offer was declined. I thought a bit of peace and quiet might be fun, but apparently there have to be enough dogs still here for everyone to stroke. Hmm, by my reckoning that would take about 17 dogs and we definitely aren\u2019t going to have that number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
