Spring in our step....

Hi G-Fans!

Well, it is late to be doing this, but I fell asleep again tonight.  I was ready to go before supper, but the concierge was otherwise engaged.  Then I was ready to do this after she had her supper, but she took so long to get her act together I fell asleep waiting.  So, now it is a ridiculous hour, but I am making the concierge do my bidding before we traipse upward into the royal chambers.  Riley is already up there.

First, I would like to say, I do not snore.  I breather gently and deliberately whilst sleeping.  It is a ridiculous assertion that I would do something as vulgar as snore!

Secondly, I was very tired.  The royal domicile required much overseeing this week and I was just plain tuckered out.  Tonight I was tired for another reason.

We had an adventure in the forest.

We walked a long time and the smells were fabulous.  There were lots of exciting things the concierge couldn't see, but we could smell.

I pointed and flushed a bird.  It was so close to my nose I thought my head would explode.  But, that was on the inside.  On the outside I was rock steady and poised.  The concierge was so impressed with my powers of concentration she gave me some kudos.  The kids were a bit more spastic and distracted.  They never got the hang of the stillness thing.  Riley isn't built for that sort of activity.  He is better at rounding folks up and whatnot.  Or scooping field mice, shrews or moles into his mouth so no one knows he has them.  We think he is a mix of terrier (rodent scooping), herder (circling) and we think he gets some of his looks from a Spinone in his genealogy.

Oh, and not only did we have a walk, but we had our nails done too.  And Tessa had her teeth cleaned, so there was some anxious waiting to see if the rest of us would be on the list.  But time was our friend and the concierge had to feed us after doing Tessa so no one else had to go through that barbaric torture.

Last thing.  I notice that the concierge totally dissed  Riley last night.  She feels terrible.  As well she should.  She maintains that she was interrupted while she was writing it, she missed him in the order.  So don't be surprised if she amends that entry.  Poor Riley has been dragging all day because of it.  I don't know who told him, but they should have kept it to themselves.  Even I know better that to share something like that!!

So, may you have a restful and peaceful sleep, breathing deeply and rhythmically.

TTFN!
