A couple of days before we came home we got up in the morning and put the dogs’ leads on – site rules say they have to be on the lead on the site – but, somehow, I managed to switch Reuben’s and Daisy’s leads. ‘Well, does it matter?’ I hear you ask. Actually, it did! Because we have four dogs, we have a different coloured lead for each one. It makes it easier to untangle them from each other when they start practising macramé! First thing in the morning it’s always important to know who has had a wee (or anything else) and switched leads completely messed with my head:
“Daisy’s had a wee. No, wait, she lifted her leg. “
“Reub is having a girly wee. Oh, no, that’s Daisy… “
And so on. I just couldn’t deal with that at that time in the morning. Or any time of the day!
