Good to hear you caught up with friends. Sorry to hear Maisie took it out on you!

It's not a human leaving a pet story...but...my older dog Bay is too old to go on the shoots anymore but Blossom and Bella still go.   When they got back, Bay laid over Blossom (her daughter) and wouldn't let her get up. As if to say "you're not leaving me again"!

Love your story Kath ... .animals are funny.
