Nanny part 2. By Bessie

...As I said we is on our way back from Inca and Rufus's house when Daddy's phone rings but he is driving so Mummy answers and it is Grandad.  He won't say what he wants but he says Daddy has to phone him straight back.    So Daddy is looking everywhere for somewhere to stop and typical there is nowhere and it takes ages.  Then Mummy's phone rings and it is Tom saying Grandad said we have to phone him urgently.

So Daddy pulls over and phones Grandad and Grandad says that Nanny is in intensive care and she is very poorly.  So we decides our road trip is over, we needs to get home so Daddy can get ready to go and see Nanny.  So we looks for the motorway and we goes straight home.  Daddy very worried.   Grandad says she got thin skin cos she has to take a lot of cortisone for her rheumatism otherwise she in constant agony and she caught her fingernail on her leg and cut it.  Only a little bit but it didn't heal and she got septicemia.   She been to cousin Georgie's on Friday and had a big lunch and laughing and joking around like always but by Monday she so sick Grandad had to call for an ambulance.

We gets home late and everybody goes to bed early to be ready for the next day.  But then Uncle Nick phones very early and say Nanny has passed away.  We is all devastated.   Daddy gets in his car and goes to be with Grandad.   Mummy and Daddy's boss in on holiday in Canadaland so Mummy has to go in work all week otherwise Matt is all on his own.   The minihumans and us stay home and comfort each other.

Daddy comes home on Thursday.  He is very very sad as you can imagine.    The funeral is next Thursday.   Daddy and Tom are going up on Tuesday and they going to take us houndies to Uncle Jed's hotel for discerning ladies and gentledogs.   Katie is back to school on Tuesday.  Bryn is back to school on Wednesday.  Mummy going to try and get out of work early if she can on Wednesday - it hard cos all the bosses are coming for a meeting with her boss so she has to stay in the office and help Matt but she hope they have left by three so she can go and get the minihumans and then they can go straight to Nanny and Grandads house.   Then she has to come back with the minihumans straight after the wake cos she has to go to work on Friday cos there is only one person in again.   She wishes she worked somewhere with lots of staff sometimes.  It's very awkward to arrange things in an emergency.

In other news the solicitor says we should exchange contracts early next week and we got a letter yesterday asking us to phone her to arrange a completion date.   The humans celebrated this news by dismantling the spare bed.  So don't come and stay with us before we move will you or you'll be sleeping on the floor.
