We thought Daddy was going to go ballistic but he was remarkably calm all things considering. He said he wanted to replace the floor and wall tiles anyway so he may as well get on with it. So he ripped all the floor up and the rest of the wall tiles. The toilet come out and then he was scraping all the rotten wood out and Mummy shouts "OH MY GOD THERE'S A MASSIVE HOLE IN THE WALL!"
So Daddy come to look and he had knocked right through to the lounge. Well, open plan is very fashionable, we've seen it on Grand Designs. Not sure about the open plan lounge/bathroom though. So when Daddy finished scraping the rotten wood out he mended the hole in the wall so now we can't watch telly from the shower.
On Thursday Mummy, Tom and Bryn took Lotty with them in the car. They said it was her turn for an adventure cos I always get to go. Well of course I always get to go, that's cos I'm the oldest and the most important. Anyway they went to Tewkesbury where they met Miss Adele and Mr Daz and Jackson, the new dog Adele rescued for us. They got there a bit early cos they thought it would take longer to get there but they have finished all the roadworks on the M50 now so it not take as long. So they were waiting and watching the other cars arriving and trying to work out which one was theirs. Lotty sat on Mummys lap so she could look out the window. Then a people carrier come into the car park with the back window open even though it was cold out. Mummy said, "I bet that's them and he's just been sick."
Then the car parked next to our car and Miss Adele got out and said Jackson had just been sick. But apart from that he was very lovely and sweet and Miss Adele and Mr Daz said they loved him very much and was going to miss him.
Then Jackson and Lotty got in the car and apparently they were both very good and did not argue at all not even once. And Mummy drove to Bridgend to take Jackson to Miss Lesley who is going to foster him for us. When they got to Miss Lesley's Jackson and Lotty ran straight through the house and into the garden with Bella and Wilbur. Jackson very brave boy, he not bothered. And all the dogs was very nice to each other, not a cross word between them Mummy says. So they all gave Jackson, Bella and Wilbur big kisses and they come home. By the time they got home they had been on the road 5 hours. Them was all shattered and went straight to bed.
On Saturday Katie and her friends wanted to go into Cardiff so Mummy said she would take them and do a bit of Christmas shopping herself. Bryn stayed home to help Daddy with the plumbing and Tom come with Mummy to keep her company.
When they got to the park and ride there were two buses in the bus stop. Both were completely full and there was a big queue of people stood waiting for the next one. Mummy and Tom did look at each other like oh god what are we doing. So they join the queue and the two buses went and another one come a few minutes later. Luckily they managed to get seats and they went into town to do the shopping. When they got off the bus the teenagers went off by themselves and Mummy and Tom went to Poundland and then to Burger King to get some lunch. After they had eaten it they went off to do some shopping and it was when they bought something Mummy realised she had left her shopping bag in Burger King. What was in it was a packet of haribos that she had promised Bryn for helping his Daddy and a box of choklits she bought for the raffle at the Basset rescue Christmas party.
So they went back to Burger King and the queues at the counters were so big people were queuing out the door. So they tried to push their way through to get to the stairs when Mummy noticed a little toddler crying He didn't look like he was with anybody nearby so she knelt down and asked him what was wrong. He said he lost his Mummy so Mummy lifted him up into her arms and shouts really loud "Has anybody lost a child?" Loads of people all looked round and this man said he thought he was lost and then he sort of shrugged like to say "I'm a man, I can't pick him up." Then the little boy points at a lady walking our way so Mummy goes over to her, still carrying the little boy so he not get lost in the crowd again. Mummy expecting the lady to be cross when she see Mummy holding her baby but she just sighed and said "What you doing there?" Mummy explain how he was lost and she lifted him up so he could look for her. The lady just take his hand and drag him off telling him off for leaving the table. Me think a two or three year old far too little to be left at a table on his own. Them queues was so long I bet she must have been gone half an hour, no wonder he got scared.
Anyway after all that excitement Mummy and Tom went upstairs and the bag was right where she had left it under the table. So they had a look in a few more shops but town was so busy it was horrible, everywhere was so busy that even if they wanted to buy something they would have been queuing forever. So they mooch about not really doing much for a bit then they phoned Katie and said they want to go home. Surprisingly she was ready and only a few minutes away so them went back to the bus stop and joined a massive queue. They didn't get on the first bus cos it was too full but they got seats on the next one so them was happy.
At tea time someone phoned to ask about Jackson. They sounded perfect for him, two men who's basset did go to rainbow bridge recently. They have another doggy and they arranged to come and see him next week. If they love him, which they will cos everybody does, then they will take him home with them.
Today we had a lazy day. Mummy did a load of cooking and baking and we sat and watched. Carly ate some raw marrow and sweet potato but Lotty and I did not think that would be very tasty. Carly said it wasn't very nice but as Mummy had given them to her she didn't want to offend Mummy. I said Carly was stupid and Mummy didn't give them to her, she dropped them. Carly is such a weirdo. She's always creeping up to Mummy. Mummy calls Carly her little stalker cos every time she moves Carly is right behind her.
