I hung around by the gate for a bit, reluctant to be someone to go to her every beck and call, but then wondered why on earth she had called me. All the same, I felt quite shy about going to her, but deep inside, knew I wanted to be a good boy. So I walked, then trotted, then ran like the wind to be by her side. She was incredibly pleased with me and I felt joyous at her excitement. In fact. It was such a wondrous moment, I might consider doing it again. Might being the operative word, mind you! My obedience thrilled her, strangely!

This feeling of growed-upness might be simply down to the lovely week we’ve had. On Tuesday we visited nanny and grandad. They’re always fun-and no, I didn’t escape this week. In fact, I made friends with Kimi cat! He’s ancient and poorly and I’ve wanted to be his friend for ages, but he usually just runs away. This week though, he lay on the kitchen floor with me and we had a wonderful little chill out together!

You know, I was thinking of Kimi on our walk today and wondered if he gets to see the sights I see. Does he smell the smells, eat the dumplings, roll in the sticky goo like I do. I hope so. It’s the most delicious fun in the whole, wide world! I hope in my heart that you all do things which make your heart sing. Tell me in the comments what your most special things are. Fluff and lugs to you, my cheery chums xx
