I felt unloved and deserted today. First I was happy, I learnt that Hilary had a day’s annual leave so felt very excited. Usually she takes annual leave to be with me! But oh, no, it transpired she had taken annual leave to be with other humans.

After my morning walk (in which I got nice and muddy) my humans sped off in separate cars, up to Aberdeen to go and see Hilary’s brother and sister in law who were up staying at her parents this weekend. And they left me behind. I am sure that was a mistake, they must have each thought the other one was taking me.

After a long long boring day Tim returned. I thought he had come back to see me but apart from a very quick trip in the garden he ignored me, checked emails, got changed and then headed off again! This time he was off to Dunfermline for a night out! Again – without me!!

I had to wait several more hours till Hilary came home and finally took me along the road for a rather short walk, and then gave me my tea- at bed time!!

Hmm. I expect and DESERVE more than this.

At least Clare thinks of me. I got a mention in her Christmas card which came today. Thanks Clare!!
