Manny. By Bessie

We got a new foster brother called Manny.   Mummy and Katie went to meet Rob and Sophie at the services in Bristol cos they were very kind and picked him up from his house and brought him from Devon.     The services was very busy cos it was summer but Manny was a very nice boy and worth waiting for.

Manny had used to sleep in his old mummys bed so our Mummy said it would be OK for him to come and sleep upstairs with us.  It was a bit of a squeeze with us 4, Mummy AND Daddy in the bed and Manny always had to spoon with Mummy but he was a good sleeper and he never had one single accident in the house the whole time he lived with us.

The first weekend he was with us Mummy, Katie, Aunty Louise, Uncle Dave, Aunty Sam and Aunty Gill did a show called the South Wales Dog and Family Fun Day.   They did this show last year and had a really good time so when they were invited to come again they said yes.

Only this year it was pants.   They would only let one car into the exhibitors car park so Aunty Sam took the van in and we had to park in the main carpark then walk miles through long wet grass to get to the showground.   Manny pulled Mummy over in the wet grass and she was soaking wet all day long.   When they got to the entrance the gate was locked and the people manning it refused to open it until the show opened so they had to walk another hundred miles to find the exhibitors entrance.

When they got inside they found that the charity stalls had been put really far away from the rest of the show so hardly anyone came over all day.  It was rubbish.  Massive disappointment, will not be going again.

The next weekend there was a celebrating rescues day at Action petz.  I went to this one and Manny stayed home.    It was OK, we met some nice people but I think we made about £5.  I don't think these type of shows are good money makers.

Lotty had her 6th birthday.  Mummy baked carrot cake.  It was delicious.
