Taz: We went to won of those showey things and when we came back Aunty Ann & Uncle Ian were at our home to see us. They love me lots. I snuggle us close to them and they keep smoothing me. If they stop, I give them a shove with my nose and they start again - it goes on for hours...............heaven! When it was bed time Aunty Ann & Uncle Ian went upstairs; they stayed. Oh wonderful I thought I can get them to scratch me behind the ears tomorrow. But when tomorrow came it was not such a good day. Aunty Ann, Uncle Ian and Mum went out but Mum didn't come home. I waited and waited but Mum didn't come back. Aunty Ann & Uncle Ian did their best in looking after me, they kept me fed and watered and cuddled me lots but I did miss my Mum. They kept saying that Mum had gone on holiday, but how could she? She takes us to a showey thing in that housey-thing-on-wheels for a holiday. Did she have another dog that she has taken? I don't understand what is happening!!
Dyl: Oh I do wish he'd stop moaning about Mum not being here, it's not that bad, I told him I'm sure she'll come back. Anyway I had Ann & Ian wrapped around my paw, I easily got them to give me lots of sweeties and titbits. I would just sit in front of them, look longingly at them and drool! I am quite an expert at drooling and can turn it on and off like a tap, sometimes I can manage to get a piece to hang about 5-6 inches from my mouth. That always works! I was having more of Ian's toast than he did.
Taz: One day Aunty Ann was saying that Mum & Dad were coming home. I was soooo excited. I couldn't wait. I kept going to the window and looking out for them but they seemed to take for ever to come. Eventually though a car stopped outside and Mum & Dad got out. Yaaayy. I'm so excited, I'm so excited. I grab my toy and run about. Why are they taking so long to come in? Aunty Ann let us out, and I ran as fast as I could to see them. I told them 'I'm a good boy! I'm a good boy' I know I am because Aunty Ann told me so. I barked and barked even though I had my toy in my mouth (Mum likes it when I have a toy in my mouth, she likes to play tuggy with me) 'I am a good boy, I AM a good boy' I am so happy now.
Dyl: When Mum & Dad came home Tazzie went mad. He was running around and around and eventually I just had to chase him. I was very pleased to see my Mum & Dad but Taz was just asking to be chased, I couldn't help myself!!! Anyway when things had calmed down, I tried to tell Mum that we missed her by sitting on her feet and generally making a nuisance of myself. It's nice when Ann & Ian look after us but they don't take us to school or do any agility with us, we get to go for walks but don't do any training at all!! In fact I train them, I've certainly taught them to give me some of their biscuits and toast.
Things are back to normal now, I've been to see Aunty Sally, Taz had to stay home and tonight we are going to school as usual. I tried the drooling trick in front of Mum when she had her breakfast this morning.........things are definitely back to normal, I was told to go away in no uncertain terms. Oh well it was good while it lasted............Mummy or toast? Mummy or toast? Oh I don't know it so hard - Mummy! .......................or perhaps toast!
