Our weekend with Grandma and Grandad. By Bessie

Grandma and Grandad came to stay on Friday.  We has not seen them in ages.  Them has not met Lotty but her was not shy.  She just climbs all over them and licks Grandma's feet and stoled food out of her hands (you has to eat faster than that round here Grandma).

On Saturday the girl humans and Tom went shopping and the boy humans (except Tom) and us went for a walk.   Carly was a good girl and let Grandad hold her lead cos Mummy wasn't there.  On the way to the shops Mummy took Grandma to show her the house we does want to buy but as she turned into the road there was a ENORMOUS sold sign outside the house.  Mummy screamed then stopped the car dead in the road and shouted every swear word she knew (IN FRONT OF HER MUMMY!).  So we is not buying that house.  We is not happy.

On Sunday we went out for the day.  We went to the harbour in Bristol.  We had a picnic.  The humans had buns and crisps and us doggies had a bun and a beefburger and a schmacko and a bowl of water but we didn't want the water so we had a drink of puddle water instead and this stupid idiot man looked at us drinking out the puddle and said "ugh it makes me sick". Well so does your comedy accent, I did think, you is not Benny Hill you knows.  I does love my Grandma and Grandad.

Then when we was walking back to the car we seen 2 bassets and we did go over and say hello and the mummies was chatting.  The lady said she knew we was coming cos people kept telling her there were 3 bassets coming this way.  Daddy said afterwards that he thought Mummy knew them and her said no we is just friendly basset peoples.  The doggies names was Dexter and Dotty and they was lovely.  Afterwards Mummy did think she did know of them after all, she thinks they is from a group what Mr Dave calls the Bristol 5 what comes on the walks with the basset walking club sometimes but we has never been on a walk at the same time as them.

Today it has been raining all day, we does not like to go for walks in the rain.  If it stops later we might go for a quick trot round the block.  The humans went out earlier to buy school uniform but them came back angry with each other cos them was trying to buy school shoes and it always does end in a fight.

This week the humans has lots of busy things to do.  Tomorrow Mummy is in work  and the minihumans is going to walk down the village with us and have littlest minihumans hair cut and pick up Mummy's tablets.  And then Mummy has to take the minihumans to their new school to meet the headmaster and he is going to take them on a tour and introduce them to all the teachers.  Then littlest minihuman is going to a birthday party sleepover.  Me hopes the weather has improved cos they is camping in the garden.

On Wednesday Mummy has to go to work.  We does not like Wednesdays cos Mummy stays in work til late.  The bigger minihumans has to walk to pick littlest minihuman up from his sleepover.  Me hopes them not expect me to go with them, it a very long way.

On Friday Lotty going to agility training, then the humans has to go to the school uniform shop, then they has to go into town to fight over school shoes again, then they is going to the opticians and Katie will probably need new glasses cos her needs new glasses every time they go.

On Sunday we is going to the Basset club fun day.  Hurray, we is excited about that.  We does love the fun day.  We hopes Carly behaves herself.  Mummy taking the cage, if she norty she can have time out in it.
