Rest and recovery
Mum went off to the seaside for some rest and recovery. I’m missing her. The funny thing is that she’s missing me too. She doesn’t often go away without me and she always regrets it when she does. I’m not finding travelling as easy as I used to, so I didn’t actually want to go with her, but I’m regretting that decision. She’ll be home tomorrow so I don’t need to miss her for long, but that’s not the point. To be fair, Mum says the weather has been too hot for me anyway, but I would have enjoyed a little paddle in the sea.
On the bright side, Mum says she might take me later in the year. Dad has to go away for work and Mum says it would be a good opportunity for us to have some quality mother-daughter time. I’ve asked if we can get a bucket and spade. Mum thinks it would be fun to do some digging together.
Leaving Pebbles at home
Mum didn’t even consider taking pebbles. If Pebbles had gone then Mum wouldn’t have had a rest. Instead, I’m in charge of Pebbles. Frankly I think I drew the short straw. Pebbles would have caused chaos where Mum is staying. There are other dogs there which are behaving very well. Pebbles would have loved meeting the dogs, but may have destroyed several pieces of furniture in her eagerness to get to them.
I’m hoping we don’t have to take Pebbles later in the year if we go.
We keep thinking that Pebbles might settle down a little after she has a season, but she hasn’t had one yet. She’s older than any of the rest of us were at our first seasons. She’ll be nine months old in just over a week.
Love and licks
