*We are about to start packing up and I will be quite relieved to be home if I'm honest. The garden show was or would have been lovely but the 3 ' children ' wanted to pee on every display we got near so we didn't get near. Not their fault as every other dog at the show wanted to do the same.
I had plant envy at the hoards of people hauling festival trolleys full of plants trundled past us but I consoled myself that I could probably get most of them a lot cheaper nearer to home.
We found a lovely country park near Hamble and we really happy to see the dogs careering around until Ddog collapsed after chasing Ddog3. She just keeled over and we both thought she'd gone. ( We did say afterwards that if she had it would have been lovely...doing what she loved most with the people and dog family close by). Within seconds though she was wagging her tail and back on her feet.
Later in the afternoon Ddog1 jumped down from Maevemouse and landed badly and had been very quiet since...he is weight bearing and no obvious signs of injury so we are hoping it's just a muscle.
My nerves are stretched to breaking point and my fears about being in Ireland and Ddog2 deteriorating and then needing , I can't actually write it all came to the fore and when DH asked if I wanted to cancel I admitted I did but didn't want to because I know how excited he was about going. Bless him he said if I was going to be unhappy and worried there was no point in still going. I said we could go anywhere in this country instead maybe ( his leave dates have been booked since he joined) so we will probably go back to our happy place in Wales instead.
Our OZ friends have delayed their trip as he is having treatment for a malignant melanoma so in some ways postponing makes sense.
Have a happy Bank Holiday....or Monday depending on where you are in the world.*
