That’ll be just A in Milan, now, I guess

Yes, I know, most of the posts these days have something about Dino in them. Sorry. I guess it’s like having a new baby.

Last night, when I got home from work, I took Rufus and Dino out for a short walk as it is now incredibly hot here. As I type this (half seven at night) it says, on the thermometer on the balcony, that it is currently 37 degrees. This morning, going to work at 7.30, the temperature was about 29 degrees. I am not complaining but the dogs find it all a bit much. But a short walk was needed so I had to do it.

Very short post just before our customers arrive. I am so busy and with V working the long hours (which should finish soon) I just have no time – at the moment not even visiting my favourite blogs!

Wolverhampton was, well, Wolverhampton. Thank goodness, arriving back and stepping off the plane reminded me why I live here. It was about 25 degrees and fabulous.

So, so busy. No time to write posts or respond to others or anything. V is working from 8 a.m. Until 10 p.m., 7 days per week so we hardly see each other. Not the perfect time to be having a puppy who demands a lot of attention nor with work so busy.

Dino learnt a new ‘trick’ yesterday. After a long walk and playing with various other dogs in the park, he gets a little tired. On our way out of the park it is necessary to coax him with a little tugging of the lead. I can’t (and wouldn’t) just drag him along although sometimes there is a little of that, just to get him on his feet and moving.

Not entirely spent with Dino, since I am back at work.

Day eight (Monday, 26^th May):

We get up 15 minutes earlier than usual (6 a.m.) as I know I will need that extra 15 minutes. I worry that 15 minutes are not enough. First, it will be sh!t city in the hallway and will need cleaning up. Secondly, the usual walk will take ages as we shall have to stopping every five minutes. The only thing that may save us is that it’s 6 a.m. And there won’t be that many people around (or dogs) so less to be stopping for.

Day zero (Sunday, 18^th May):

We pick him up. He is so cute. I had brought a box for the back of car but a) it’s a little small and b) V wants to hold him.

Result: He gets too hot and throws up all over V. Nice.

Well, now. Moving the site was a tad interesting. I had said before that, maybe, at some time, upgrade my version of Wordpress and I found that, in fact, as I moved, I had no choice. It did take a little longer than I had hoped but, at least, it finally worked.
