Wow, it is two years since we fled British soil and headed Elsewhere. Tomorrow sees us heading to Portugal, to stay with Husband's parents, for 5 whole days. They live in Fuseta, which is in Olhão, in the Algarve.
Ever-so-slightly emotional day today when we delivered the pooch, Martha, to the kennels. Tried very hard to think of it as 'Center Barks', but with the bare concrete and iron 'pens', it really did stretch the imagination! Martha, a 20-week-old border terrier, got intensively barked at on her way to her 'room' by the other canine boarders, but she gave back as good as she got- one thing you can say about terriers- they are superbly feisty!
I am unfortunately a Soppy Woman, so I had to hold back to avoid infecting the dog, and our children, with my tears. Toddler Son cried all the way home.
Still, she WILL be fine. We WILL be fine. Now for packing and keeping two young children calm-ish for the remainder of the day.
