Baggy's daily state!
Depression (Black = really bad/Grey = not great/Blue = okay/Yellow = sunny day): Yellow.
Anxiety (From 1 = barely any to 10 = gibbering wreck standard): 1.
Tears: No.
Overall day: Busy.
Another morning lie-in for Baggy, with Furry Mama sharing her bed for an hour with both Pepper and Hinge. In fact, as Creative Clara types this, Hinge has just jumped on the back of the sofa that Baggy's on, while Pepper sleeps a few feet away on the other sofa. Even Freda Fretter is becoming optimistic that they will end up as friends, but she's not sure how to persuade Bracket to be as brave. On their walk this morning Pepper met the other Pepper again, (the Staffie who'd been used as a bait dog). They had a bit of a chase, but Pepper was already tired from a lot of ball throwing, and kept getting caught. The other Pepper jumped on him snarling, and although she didn't appear to mean to hurt him, she scared the living daylights out of him. The poor sausage wouldn't go anywhere near after that. Then Minty Mutt's best friends, Rupert and Casper the sausage dogs, arrived. This was a lot more successful with lots of waggy tails and ball swapping.
Baggy had to walk to the little garage while on their walk. Billy Bob Jalopy needs a bit of fixing. The other day at Dunwich, Baggy pulled the little lock-knob up, (having changed her mind about getting out from the other door), and the knob came off in her hand! The mechanism it connected to then proceeded to disappear inside the door - leaving the door locked closed. Clever Bird supposes it could have been worse, the door could have been left unlocked, but ever since Baggy has had to scrabble across the seats to get in and out from the passenger side. Calum tried to fix it, but because the door won't open, it's impossible to get to any of the bits. He's now booked in for Friday. Oh the joys of old vehicles! But Pepper and Baggy love him.
Once home, The Domestic Goddess was going to do a bit of goddessing, but Creative Clara realised that she had had an order from her little Etsy shop, Realuv for a vintage tin. She needed to pack it and post it, so while Pepper totally lost the plot for five minutes, racing up and down the sitting room, Clara packed and wrapped her parcel. As she was doing it, she received a second order from a lovely lady in America who's already ordered one Delft brooch from Clara and has now ordered a second. So Baggy and Pepper headed into town to post them off to their new lives, to be loved once more. Clara loves the fact that things will once more be cherished and appreciated and she's earning a little bit of money doing it. Psychic Ploppo sees the fact that she's had two orders today, as a sign that Clara will be doing the right thing, taking on a little vintage unit in a shop. She needs to find some display units, but will have to wait until her space is definite.
Pepper seemed a lot more confident in town today. In the post office he lay at Baggy's feet while Clara sorted out her parcels! Furry Mama decided that he needed a treat. The Goddess had to pick up a new grate for the fireplace at the holiday cottage, so she decided to carry on and go to Dunwich Heath once again. Clever Bird had totally forgotten that it's half term this week. Dunwich was packed. But Furry Mama and Pepper found a relatively quiet route and wore each other out chasing his tennis ball.
Pepper is currently asleep, so once Clara has pressed "publish" on this blog, The Goddess is going to try and get some goddessing done! At the moment the sitting room floor is virtually hidden under the stuffing from dog toys, shredded paper and torn plastic! But that's puppies for you........
