Trying to smile
I’m trying to smile, but I’m just not feeling myself. I went to see my sister Tosca yesterday, which is always lovely. She is older than me and really slowing down, but we were still pleased to see each other. She has a new housemate called Bailey. I really liked him and part of me wanted to play with him. The rest of me was not coping very well and didn’t know how to deal with it. In the end my barking got the better of me and Mum and I decided I’d be better to sit in the car for a while to calm down.
Frozen Kongs
When we got back to where we were staying I had a lovely cuddle with Mum, but then became restless again. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m just not myself. I stayed quiet while I munched my way through the two Kongs Mum had prepared and frozen for me, but after that I was back to pacing, panting and barking. The problem is that I just cannot get comfortable and cannot relax.
Change of plans
Before I went to spend some time in the car Mum and I talked about what we had planned. We are due to stay in some places I’m not familiar with once we leave where we are now. Mum asked if I thought I’d cope. I had to be honest and say I thought it was pretty unlikely judging from how things are going. Fortunately she has understood and is changing our plans so that we can go home sooner. I feel pretty bad about it, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do but be honest.
On the bright side, Mum has managed to get us into the place we stayed on the way here for our overnight stop on the trip home. I felt ok there, so I’m hoping that will help.
Love and licks
