I’m sitting in the living room, being a lazy cow. Well not quite lazy, was working on some copy for a friend of mine. Anyway, the patio doors are open and the conservatory doors are open and I can see a wedge of beautiful blue sky. Not only that but I can hear the wind blowing through the many trees around us. The sound is cathartic, relaxing and all kinds of things I cannot find the words to describe.
It’s good here. Village life suits me. It’s relaxing. The only way it could get better is if I were sitting here with a nice glass of something cold (other than the obligatory squash I’ve got), or if we actually had a patio to sit in.
The dog is off to school next week. Puppy school. I think she knows it as she’s being a little bit more compliant than usual. She’s also worked out, if she pees outside, she gets a treat. Probably not a bad thing really.
OK for starters I appear to be turning into some strange woman who only talks about her dog. Shoot me, it’s better than complaining about the cost of fuel or how the country is going to the dogs (not mine clearly). Anyway, I’ve started talking to the dog while out on walks with her. Yes this does make me sound as nutty as I probably am.
Anyway, today she decided to freak out when another dog came near her today, she wet herself (oh goodness I’m embarrassing the dog in public). Anyway, she totally flipped out, really rather upset (she’s still afraid of big dogs). I apologised to the owner of the other dog, who then left, when I looked down, what do I see? a big smiley faced puppy staring back with big waggy tail… My dog is an actress, she’s going to win an oscar for that performance.
It’s nice coming home to someone who appreciates you being there. Lily has her ears back her tail goes so fast her bum wiggles around. It fills your heart with joy at something un-questioning that wants your affection. That said, she’s slobbered all over the sofa, just got herself wedged under it (my hands hurt from lifting it), has made a mess of the living room floor and is little miss destructo!
