When Grandma and Grandad came to stay. By Bessie

Grandma and Grandad came for the weekend.   We were having a party at the Village Hall for the Queen's 90th birthday so in the morning all the humans went over and decorated the hall with Union Jack flags and stuff and in the afternoon we had the party.   Wales was playing in the World Cup that day so Matt brought his telly in and put it up on the wall.    We had a good turn out and loads of people from the village came.   Grandma had too much to drink so Grandad had to put her to bed with a sick bucket.  Mummy had too much to drink too and thought gymnastics was like riding a bike.  She was wrong, having BAGA 4 from 1982 does not mean you can still do backflips in 2016.

The next weekend we went to a BBQ at a pub in the Wirral called the Basset Hound.  All 4 of us Houndies went with Mummy and Daddy.    We went for a walk first and then we had BBQ and raffle and a fun dog show back at the pub.

We went to a garden party in Henley (where it's posh).  This was a big day because Manny's new family were coming to adopt him.  We love Manny and we didn't really want him to go but he needed a family of his own really.  Lotty and Manny went for the walk through the woods.  Me and Carly stayed at Paula's house with Tom and Bryn.    After lunch Manny's new Mummy and brother and sister came to get him.  Lucky for him they were very nice people and the children were very sweet and went they left they both gave Mummy a hug and we all said goodbye to our foster brother.

The next day Mummy and Daddy took us to a Basset fun day to cheer us up.  There was a fun dog show but we didn't enter the fancy dress competition this time cos Mummy had been too busy to make costumes this year.
