The Beloved has a wood turning workshop today. He dropped us off at the kennels on the way to the workshop, and the Younger Offspring and I collected Ava. She had been in the kennels before as a rescue dog, and we were worried she might think she had been rejected and taken back there.
However, when she saw us, she went rather bananas, well, bananas-ish as she is a very cool, laid back dog. In the six months we have had her, it was the first time she has jumped up on me. Her bottom was very wiggly, and my face received a very good wash. Many, many times, a cold wet nose was gently pushed into my hand and snuggles requested. I think she missed us.
After collecting her there was a 40 minute wait for the next bus. It was obvious she wanted to get going, but we had to hang around the car park, waiting for the bus. She was good on the bus (her third journey).
When we arrived back in town, she took a good look around, and it felt like she was thinking, "Ah, right, I know where I am now." Lots of sniffing happened, more snuggles, and many looks behind to make sure we were still there.
A trip to The Eatery was next. The sign on their door says "Well behaved dogs welcome." She's been there three times, and rather likes it. This time, there was a cold sausage and a bowl of water too. Now she really likes it.
And home. She has now relaxed and is having a snooze.
