\u2018What do you mean \u2018for kennels\u2019?\u2019<\/p>\n
This could go on all day! I\u2019m not normally slow on the uptake, but it hadn\u2019t occurred to me that my Mistress\u2019s hospital visit was going to mean me going into kennels. I was expecting to be here to look after her when she came out, but apparently it was more important for me to look after Aristotle and Shadow in kennels. I\u2019m only here until tomorrow morning, but it\u2019s a bit like being imprisoned for a crime I didn\u2019t commit. I\u2019m innocent, I tell you. It wasn\u2019t me. I wasn\u2019t in the area when it happened!<\/p>\n
Anyway, my Mistress has paid the price for my banishment. She wasn\u2019t at the hospital for as long as expected and had to come home to an empty house. The worst part was that the plaster they put on her arm for the cannula was annoying her and with her other hand completely dead and floppy, she couldn\u2019t use it to remove the plaster, and because they put it in her vein by her elbow, she couldn\u2019t get her teeth round to pull it off either. It\u2019s no good turning to me for sympathy, I\u2019ve been banished! Meanwhile, I\u2019m sitting here twiddling my paws and thinking about the jobs I was planning to do before Megan comes back. There are bones which need burying and balls that need playing with! To be fair the bones aren\u2019t actually mine, but I wasn\u2019t going to let that stop me.<\/p>\n
