God Save The King!

What an agreeable weekend I have had. Aunt Dawnatella came round on Saturday evening for a gals night in with dear Mama and I. Facepacks, pretzels and wine ensued (though only the pretzels for me. The one time I lapped wine from mama's glass I ended up at the vet with a rather nippy case of cystitis!). After much hilarityI fell asleep early and awoke now and then to the sound of laughter as Mama and Dawnatella were scouring youtube for their favourite rockstars. They were observing footage of a young Ziggy Stardust and Mama was saying things like, 'He'd get it' and apparently Dawnatella would 'do' the lead singer of The Kings of Leon, 'Nae bother'. Mama preferred the drummer ('nice arms', 'bit of an animal').

Goodness knows what time they finally retired at but I made sure in the morning they did not oversleep by running down the hall and scratching and barking at their respective chamber doors.

Mama had said that on Sunday if the weather was in our favour we may go to Greenock and applaud the arrival of the QE2. I had visions of Mama holding me aloft over the crowd while I waved a union Jack and barked, 'God Save the King, God Save The King!'. Dawnatella had planned to have a her face painted with a picture of the great ship itself.

It wasn't to be. It was decided we needed exercise and fresh air so we headed off to a big country park stopping only to pick up Uncle Alfonso (mama's brother, Dawnatella's husband) on the way. Uncle Alfonso had been attending a Stag night the evening before and was feeling rather weary. He did his best to keep up but kept making snide comments whenever we were passed by large dogs such as labradors, spaniels, German Pointers etc about how they were 'real' dogs insinuating that I was a mere pest. Mama said sometimes he really could be a wretched c**t.

Good spirits were restored however when we all came back to Mamas and watched a film about transexuals then had a magnificent Sunday Roast. To my astonishment I was permitted a whole portion of chicken to myself. I devoured it then promptly fell asleep on dear mama's lap. How lovely!
