Home Alone!

   I have started working – just a couple of days a week – and poor Pip has had to endure being HOME ALONE! 

   He’s actually coping reasonably well. The damage so far:

(1)    Destroyed one stuffed toy – which was his to destroy.

(2)    Ate part of his bed, chewed the foam out of it.

(3)    Chewed into small pieces several polystyrene meat trays which we sometimes serve his dinner on.

   I think we’ve gotten off pretty lightly. Anyway, he is super excited to see me and the kids when we arrive home at around 3.45. Bounces around, jumps on us – yes, muddy paw prints on my work duds – and uses very effective body language to let us know that he’s very glad to see us and can we go for a walk now please, huh, can we? Huh? Pant, pant!

  

Pip's first family holiday :)

     Took Pip for his first family holiday last weekend.

   The house at Skene’s Creek – a tiny town near Apollo Bay – was advertised as ‘pet friendly’. Included in our contract was this lovely list...
