New book review

Just a quick update to say I've put another book review on my book page.

It's been a busy week as we build up to a family holiday, so we've got all the packing and sorting to do, on top of DH working away and being away for an extra night as well. All the cat's claws have to be trimmed before they go to the cattery, and it's meant getting all the cat carriers down from the loft tonight ready for them.

My poor mother has the joy of having both dogs while we're away. It's a big ordeal for Oscar as he doesn't cope with change very well, so being in a strange house for a week will be tough for him. Not as tough as being in kennels though. I've been taking the dogs to my mum's once a week for a few weeks now to try and get Oscar used to the house. It's such a shame as you can tell he doesn't really know where he is or whether he should be frightened or not. He's just such a nervous dog. By the time he's been there a few days I know he'll be fine, but it's the initial leaving him that will be hard.

So, ironing and packing to do, a trip to the cattery and a sort out of the plants in the greenhouse for my mum to keep an eye on. At some point there may even be time for a sit down and a drink…...
