Eventful Couple of days

Well, what a few days…Following her 2nd injections on Tuesday, Ash went straight off to visit Leominster to spend a few days with the Out-Laws with Sharon and the kids…..poor old Bizzy and I were left at home.

Whilst there young Ash was introduced to Tay, their 13 year old Golden Retriever; who had absolutely no interest in speaking to this 10 week old whipper snapper who was only intent on hanging off his ears. However, Ash did try to make her mark, but Tay didn’t really want to play…..it was obvious that she was missing her boy……

Bizley, who had been left with me in Sawtry, was absolutely miserable; he was missing his Ash, and was looked terribly forlorn. When he came home from his walks he would look for her, and although a Toller’s natural expression is quite sad, he looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp…or worse.

So I was delighted when I had THE morning phone call from Sharon…..”Come and pick her up…..!”

Wednesday evening after work, Bizzer and I got into the car for the 2½ hour journey to Herefordshire….good trip, but Bizley insists on sitting in the front, leaning against me…..panting and dripping all over me….aaagghh! He was also busting for a wee for the last 20 mins…thank god he can hold on.

We arrived at the In-Laws, opened the door..and it was like a scene from the film Love Story…….the joy of the re-acquaintance was obvious, and they were instantly rolling and sparring around the garden…..Tay was also pleased to see Bizley with a “Thank God” look on his face.

We stayed the night and prepared for an early start for me to get to work by 8.30, however, the trip was only 2 minutes old when……..”what’s that smell?”….. “Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!” Guess what? Mr Whippy, all over the news paper in the crate………Stop, roll up paper, bin paper, sniff hand… “Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!” “Poooooooooooooh!!!!!!!”…...... ”You little *&%^$$^*!!!!” (ed – words censored to protect the innocent)

Journey continued……..until Bromyard….11 miles……”Umm, another sniff…..adjust mirror to look……”Joy to the world!!!!!!” The revenge of Mr Whippy, bigger and better than the first…..”Happy days” it was on the carpet tile…..”quick, abandon carpet tile……Run!!!”

Then she had a good old sleep, all the way…2 hours, home……Bizzy, still drooling, panting, soaking my leg.

Anyway, got home at last, lets get ready for work…….and a rest………!!!!!!!!!
