All pals together.

Tonight is the first night for ages that it's just me, our Brandy, mum & dad.

Firstly we had Sophie come to stay while her mum was away. She was supposed to go home on Saturday and Craig was due to arrive.

But on Friday, Sophie's mum called to say she wouldn't be home until today and could Sophie stay a few more days.

So since Saturday our house has been crowded out - there was me and Brandy, mum & dad, Craig & Samantha, and Sophie.

It was really hard just to get to my dinner, and bedtime was chaos.

Well, Craig and Sam went home last night

And Aunty Lucy came home today, so we helped Sophie pack her stuff up and she's gone home too.

So tonight, it's just me & our Brandy with mum & dad!

Brill!

A day of highs & lows!

Aunty Lucy still isn't well enough to take Sophie for her morning walks so we're still all going out together, and this morning we went on a really long walk because it wasn't as hot as it's been for ages. We had a brilliant time, running all over the place 'cos Mum had taken or leads off. A definite high!

Then a low - Mum noticed I wasn't as clean as I could be and I was unceremoniously chucked in the back of the car , and once home I was equally unceremoniously dumped in the bath and half drowned.

Then there was another high, 'cos it was a bit colder today and the sun wasn't out this morning, Mum wrapped me in a big towel and sat and cuddled me dry - lovely!

This afternoon our Brandy's been a bully. He wouldn't let me have any dinner, he wouldn't let me have any toys and he wouldn't let me sit next to Mum - another low.

But we've finised on a high - Dad gave us leftovers from their dinner - sirloin steak - served finely chopped - with mixed veg & gravy - delicious!

A good day or a bad day?

On balance - definitely a good day!
