Morning Everyone
Just a quick blog this morning before I go to school so that I can update you on our weekend, which was pretty good.
Usual week at home though Daddy is peeping out of his shell a little more each day when it comes to the puppies and spends ages just watching them.
Ages ago before Daddy and Mum started to live together; Mum was still Daddy’s carer. One day I was riding up a hill and half way home when Mum got a phone call from Grace telling her to come quick there was something the matter with Daddy. Mum ran back home and I trotted; we untacked my pony and sorted him out before Mum disappeared off to see what was wrong. When she arrived at Daddy’s house he was walking around with a drill in his hand doing an impression of a robot. Seeing Daddy with the puppies reminds me of things like this, when he was happy sometimes.
He still had awful nightmares and hated noises, smells and stuff, but there was a Daddy that could have fun, he enjoyed being silly and messing around with us kids and Mum. The more I think about it they spent hours together doing silly stuff, working on the cars together, doing the garden, acting like kids, Daddy would spend hours with his horses too, him and Mum lost in their own world of horse poop and straw. Sometimes I really wish I was that little girl again as those memories were special.
Anyway, back to now. Daddy been playing with the puppies and watching each move they make he even fed them yesterday; he loves to cuddle them and laughs as they growl and play fight with each other. Mum says that he will stand over them and watch them sleeping too or tap the puppy pen and watch as they all dash to their feet to say hello.
Friday after school Mum and I decided that we would sort the garden out and worked on the front till nine at night. The front garden actually looks like a garden now not a jungle so that made Mum happy. Daddy is really fussy about his garden and is always telling us about the wonderful garden he had at his house in Farcet, it had mini bridges, different areas and sounds fantastic. Our garden sadly isn’t that good but we try.
This year Daddy decided that he wanted all wild flowers on the front so we dug everything out and planted wild flowers everywhere, just hope they come up.
Saturday off to Home Bargains for some log rolls to edge the lawn as we ran out the night before. Then two cakes as the bulldog puppy’s owners were coming over and it was one of their birthdays, they were also bringing a lady to look at a puppy. Lemon cake for his birthday, chocolate cake for everyone to eat. The lady had driven from Wales and picked a little boy that is now called Stanley. The lady loved the cake.
Sunday, we cleaned the house and put the puppies out in the pen for an hour in the garden ready for a lady to come to see the boxer pups. They fell in love too which was good. Went to the horses usual jobs before crashing.
Yesterday we went to Trimpley and left Daddy puppy sitting. The traffic was busy but we had a few hours with our friends and the animals before coming home, as the weather was great the weekend seemed even better.
Well better dash, taxi leaves in fifteen minutes.

Would like to see a bit more of the old Daddy each day, but we can hope.
