The Dummy Stick Throwing Routine

Small Boy was brought up to go and see his Dad (The Owner) at the hospital, which had it's advantages. I managed to offload the last of my little indiscretions prior to The Owner returning!

We were both taken to the hospital and I hopped out of the car quickly before Strange Woman could get the lead on me. Some people are so easy it is almost embarrassing really. So I took Small Boy with me round to the window into The Owners ward, I take this route because I don't want to slip and slide too much on the floors and I have a certain sense of responsibility here and I knew that this would also limit the possibilities for Small Boy to have an "Ooops" moment. The Owner saw me and jumped up quick to let me in and then saw Small Boy. Now I am not sure what goes on here coz his eyes started leaking again, the same as they did when I first turned up and pretty much when everyone turns up really. The Owner managed to stop his eyes leaking and Silent Grumpy Man uttered his only language again "Oijackcumere" and laughed a lot then we all went out for a walk around the gardens. The Owner, Me, Small Boy, Owners Daughter, Strange Woman, Strange Woman in Wheelchair and today for the first time Strange Woman with Zimmer Frame. She has always given me a particularly wide berth since my first visit when I managed to divest her of several surgical devices after sliding on the slippery floors. Small Boy decided to help and make a frame to carry these surgical devices for her out of some bandages, sticking plaster and a bedpan but not to worry, we found a carrier bag to put all the leftover bits in. The process roughly goes that they all pretend to throw a stick and drop it behind them and laugh loudly as I pretend to look for said stick in large heap of leaves that Gardener Hoomun has raked up again from last time. They have fun, I play in the leaves.....,. It works! OK! I did have to share my heap of leaves with Small Boy this time, but I managed.
