When I say \u2018Back in Belgium\u2019, my humans are but I\u2019m not and they are having a great time. I\u2019m still at home twiddling my paws until they return. They did go to Waterloo and said it was funny that from all the books in the bookshop you\u2019d think the French had won. I found it funnier that from walking all the way up the 226 steps to the monument and down again the muscles in my Mistress\u2019s legs didn\u2019t stop quivering for the rest of the day. She needs to get fit, that\u2019s all there is to it. Given it was minus four, they didn\u2019t stay up there for long. By the time I spoke to them they were staying with our old next door neighbours and their new dog. My Mistress said it was good to be back around dogs and she really doesn\u2019t like not having a dog around, which is a good thing as there are four of us to be around. Bailey, the dog, stole one of my Mistress\u2019s socks and wouldn\u2019t give it back. It was retrieved eventually but by that time was so covered in dog slobber that my Mistress didn\u2019t fancy wearing it again.<\/p>\n
In the best spirit of being in Belgium the key holiday activities are going to the place they used to buy beer to buy a couple of crates of my Master\u2019s favourite beers and the supermarket to buy the foods they now miss in England. I just hope there\u2019s some dog biscuits thrown in there. I think my Mistress is hoping to have time to go to my favourite store to look for a gift to bring home for me. I just hope she has time. If I\u2019m really lucky maybe she\u2019ll manage to buy one of the metre long dog chews I used to have.<\/p>\n
