The Owners Day Visit

Eventually Owners Daughter returned, I suspected at first that she had been off doing some shopping. The Owner was always mumbling about women and shopping, not sure what it entails but I know there is always a lot of bags involved and I thoroughly approve because I can run around for ages in amongst all the paper and have a good time.

Anyway, she got out of the car with a load of bags in her arms so I began to psych myself up for the unwrapping process. Then Owners Dad got out of the car so she had clearly managed to get to his house and back OK. I was hopeful that he may have brought Owners Dads Cat with him, last time I teamed up with him I benefitted from the proceedings with a large plate of burgers and suasages. I know it was unintentional on the part of Owners Dads Cat but, hey, get it where you can!

There was another shape in the car I could observe as I bounced around with great excitement round the lawn, the car layby (including the puddles) and the muddy garden path. Then the shape moved and got out of the car..... surely not......it couldn't be........ it was!!!!!! It was The Owner!!!!!!! I was a little concerned at first as he spent a little time looking in the direction of the field where he had disappeared to all those months ago, but I tried really hard with my welcome dance around the garden then as he came through the gate I forgot myself and jumped up. Oh dear! Muddy paw prints in the middle of his chest on his clean white shirt and he sat back in the muddy puddle by the cars. Owners Daughter was frowning loudly, if you're asking me how can you frown loudly when frowning is to all intents and purposes a silent process then you haven't seen Owners Daughter frown! Hands on hips and a furrowed brow. I was expecting a lot of grumbling from The Owner as well but he just laughed and rubbed my head and got up and wandered in to the cottage. The Owner is home! Only for the day but he is home!
