Tuckered Out..

just about describes all of us ( except the cats of course). We had so much fun on M's week off that we are all knackered. We did trips out just about everyday as well as taking Miko on long walks. I think M went back to work today for a rest! Yesterday the boys planted a butterfly garden and bless him sam spent most of the day checking the plants for insect visitors. I tried to explain we probably wouldn't get any residents until the spring but he is undeterred and intends to check the plants every day. Hope we get a few winter visitor, don't know how he is going to wait until spring!

Today was back to school for us so while the rest of the children in the neigborhood were celebrating half term, evil mommy made sam do normals. He didn't mind too much though and quickly settled into work. We are taking it easy this week as we have a few playdates with school friends. M came with us to puppy class tonight and we all had fun. Miko had so much fun that she didn't want to leave! She tried to run back into the hall as we were putting her in the car. She is now sacked out in the kitchen, too pooped to lift a paw. She is a lot calmer tonight-the diwali fireworks the last few nights have really spooked her. She refused to even go out in the garden last night once it got dark. I don't know how she did it but she managed to make it through the night without a single puddle. She and the cats have reached an understanding, they won't swat her if she doesn't try and play with them. They are all quite relaxed about each other and Gizmo is currently asleep only a few feet away from her.
Sam is very good with her and loves taking her out for walks. The only problem is I am not sure who is walking who!
