I’ve heard plenty humans ask my humans ‘when you go on holiday, where does Dexy go, the kennels?’ If I could talk (I type well, but talking is a bit beyond me for now) I would certainly have something to say to that! I tried the kennels twice, I’m afraid that doesn’t work for a dog like me. Home comforts! You might think I sound spoiled? You would be correct!! I do not complain or apologise for that.
So, what does happen to me when they go off. I have tried to look sad and give them the ‘why are you abandoning me look’ but to be honest I love it, I go on my holidays too.
Off I go, across the bridge to this house, when I get there, I must start to bark because I get so so excited. I trot up the road at speed and look forward to a couple of weeks with my holiday humans daily long walks with my pals, what feels like endless supply of treats, a nice settee to sleep on and cuddles and belly rubs to my heart’s content. I love all this
This last time, I got to go for an extra walk with my holiday human’s mum’s dog and after we went to a place called McDonalds and I got a thing called a chicken nugget!! Who knew such things existed. A whole new world opens for me.
But, when my holiday come to an end, my humans come and get me. I can tell they are excited to see me, and if truth be told, I love to see them too, it’s nice to know my humans look out for me and make sure I am safe and looked after when they are away.
The moral of this tail is………..When you get to spend time with the people you love, friends or family, or the people who look after you, make the most of it, enjoy it, its precious times. It’s love. You might experience something new, like a chicken nugget.
