Home again
We’re off home again today. Thankfully, now the weather has cooled a little, we’ll be able to spend a few hours outside with Mum. I’ve asked if I could sit with her as long as I’m on a lead. We just need to move a comfortable chair into the shade where I don’t have to go up any steps to get there. It won’t be the same as being able to mooch around, but it will be better than being crate bound too much of the time.
Mum has also agreed to swap some of my food for frozen Kongs each day to help keep me occupied. It’s actually quite satisfying feeling we have to put some work in to get our food. Ok, so I know it isn’t real work. I don’t have to go out hunting or anything difficult, but it still gives some sense of satisfaction. It’s the same with brain games – although they’re always too easy.
Summer Fun Day
It’s our summer fun day next weekend. It’s frustrating that I won’t be able to take part. Mum and I have been discussing what we’re going to do. I’ll have to go with the, as everyone is going. The problem is that I won’t want to sit in the car and it would probably be too hot for that anyway. Mum has asked whether I’d be happy for her to take a crate for me to go in. We could take a fold up one and have it inside the hall. I’m ok being in a crate with Pebbles around. I still feel safe. So maybe it won’t bother me if there are other dogs around me either. If I don’t like it I’ll bark enough to let me know. If that happens then Dad will have to sit in the car with me with the air-conditioning on.
Love and licks
