Stressed

I'm very tired today. Yesterday was extremely upsetting and I now feel emotionally exhausted. TheFriendPeter came to see me the night before and lived here all night which was real nice. It all got spoilt when he and the she boss packed everything up and went off in the car early. I thought it was going to be one of my flappy house holidays but without me as they took lots of that stuff with them but not me!
That really upset me for starters then while I was looking after the house on my own later, the men who wash and wipe all our windows came. I don't like them anyway. The noises they make frighten me especially when they wipe the windows with all the pretty colours in that make even more noise. I got so scared, I pulled up the prickly mat by the door and it looks like I might have wrecked it real bad cos it's been put outside in the big bucket with the lid. The he boss wasn't happy when he came home and saw it.
I'm glad to say that the she boss and FriendPeter came back later and didn't stay away in any flappy house without me. That was a relief.
Today when I was hoping for a peaceful day, the he boss started pushing the noisy sucky thing around. I'd had enough so I took myself down the end of the garden for a lie down. I think I got the she boss a bit worried cos she came looking for me after I'd been there for hours. I'm worried now that it took her that long to miss me. She must have felt sorry for me cos she picked me up to give me a cuddle and take me back.
Today's really sunny yet again but it's windy too so all our doors keep banging and making me jump. I think they understand I'm stressed but it's not nice. I hope something nice happens to me soon.

Weekends

(Contented sigh) That's been a real nice couple of days. I've seen lots of friends - dogs and people, taken some for walks including a baby on a lady's back, helped the he and she boss in the garden particularly checking the land for frogs and done a lot of chilling in the garden. There's still no noisy things except birds in the sky and life's good for me.

Bill

Well, considering the he and she boss don't seem to be going out to work these days, I'm not doing brilliantly for walks. I've been over the field alot with the she boss, mostly in the dark and not much more. Are they ashamed of me that we only go out at night? We went visiting to Nan and Grandad's in the dark too. That was a pretty good walk. I did take them for a really good walk today though. It was sunny, the birds were singing, the lambs were skipping. Shame about them really even if they are sweet cos when they're about, I'm not allowed to have a real good run around.
The big news though is that Bill is back in action. Remember him? I've shown you a picture before. He's not been serving up the drinks for a while but we went shopping today to buy something that made a lot of very smelly work for the she boss in the garden and now he's good again. The birds will be happy too as they like his water as well.

Strange day out

Me and the she boss have been out all day today. She'd planned surprises for me. The first one wasn't too good. We went in one of those big cars which you share with lots of other people. I don't like those but it wasn't for too long. I just curled up under the seat which made me feel safest. We walked through some shops where I attracted alot of attention and then we got to Sutton Park!! That was the first surprise cos I've only ever gone in our car or occasionally walked there.
We didn't go very far before the she boss sat down to read the paper. I was most disappointed as that seemed to be it but then my friend Janet arrived in her car. I haven't seen her for ages (last time was with Leo) and they both took me for a good walk with lots of mud. We went for lunch as well where there were lots of dogs with bosses.
Janet went off in her car and we just carried on walking back through all the shops but then landed up at Aunty Joy's house! Another surprise. I've never been in there before and her and Uncle Ted seemed pleased to see me. There was another lady there too and all us ladies went off for more walking. The others left us after a bit but me and the she boss just carried right on and ended up back at home just in time for tea. What a lovely day.
I'd like to know when the sun's going to shine again though. It's stopped raining for a few days now but there's no sign of any sun.
