It was time for me to get dressed and 'ablute' so I headed upstairs, taking care to blockade the bottom of the stairs so Honey could not follow me. Honey is my shadow and follows me everywhere. So she stood at the bottom whining her head off because she could not come upstairs. I went in my bedroom then the bathroom. I was on the loo when I realised it had gone quiet. Then I heard the jingle of her collar tag and in she limped! She had climbed over my wheeled shopping trolley blockade and made it upstairs alone, with her leg in its metal work and bandages! What a dog!
She was very pleased with herself until I started going downstairs. There was no way I could carry her down so she had to do it herself. She did! Slowly, one step at a time, she made it. I had to clear the blockade so she could get down safely to the bottom. Now I'll have to make a better arrangement to stop her going up! What a dog!
She is sticking close to me now and not letting me out of her sight LOL
Today is round up day. Final check of the present list. Wrap the last presents. Final tidy up. Out to dinner tonight with friends :) Going to be a fishy one! Moules for starters, in white wine and garlic, followed by a 3 fish fish pie. The last one I had there had fish full of bones and no sauce so it was all dry :( I know the fish has been thoroughly boned this time at least. John bought it from John 'The fish' in Wimborne, just voted Fishmonger of the Year in the UK. The mussels are from him too and delicious.
Going to be a mad night with some of their family there and two young dogs/puppies chasing each other around too.
I will blog when I can but it might be a day or 3 before I do.
Have a fantastic time over the festive period. Don't eat or drink too much, but do enjoy yourselves. Hug your loved ones and have happy thoughts of those not there to share with you. Merry Christmas!
