It may not be a surprise to you that it's Mum & Dad that are going to AlmerÃa for their residency cards tomorrow, not us but at least by Mum posting it on here I know about it now and can tell our Brandy that we're going to be Home Alone tomorrow.
Lot's of doggy chocs needed I think!!!!!

Push, push, push? For goodness' sake Mum, I AM pushing!
We have a pretty routine life. We have lots of walks, lots of play time, trips in the car and lots and lots of sleeps.
We couldn't ask for a better life.
But, you just know it can't go one for ever without something happening to make life difficult.
And it did.
We had some men at the house and they put this cage thing up at the front of the house. Now normally, Mum opens the door for us and we can run out and bark at everything, but after the men had been we could only get as far as the cage. There is a door in the cage that Mum and Dad go through but they wouldn't let us through it.
Instead, there was this flappy thing at the side and we were supposed to go through that.
Now there was a number of problems me and our Brandy could find with this idea.
Firstly, if we hit the flappy thing with our paw it swung open but as we tried to put our heads through it, it swung back and hit us in the face!
Secondly, if we pushed our noses against it - nothing happened other than we got squashed noses.
So Mum had to open it for us so we could get out, and had to bend down to do this so we couldn't see why we couldn't just go through the big door with her.
Anyway, it seems it was important to her because she kept asking us to use it and when we didn't she would open it for us and then give us choccy buttons when we went through. Now, it didn't take long for our Brandy to tell me that the longer we didn't go through on our own the more choccy buttons we would get. This was OK for a while BUT sometimes Mum would leave us inside the cage and walk off and I wanted to go with her to make sure she wasn't giving our buttons to the Meercats instead of us.
But as much as I tried I just couldn't open the door on my own. If Mum opened it just a tiny weeny bit I could do it, but I didn't like pushing too hard with my nose 'cos it hurt (turns out I've got bits of dermatitis near my nose and they've got infected so I have to have some horrible red gel on them every morning).
Anyway, Mum must have realised I was trying really hard and not getting it to happen 'cos she asked Dad to do something to it and he said he took out a magnetty thingy that was really strong. Now, it opens really easy and I can do it everytime.
Once I did it our Brandy just had to copy me. He couldn't let me be good at something and not him. I always get out first and leave the flappy thing flapping in his face but now he knows to wait for it to swing back before putting his head through.
Now we can make sure that Mum doesn't give the Meercats any of our buttons.
