December was notable for the three consecutive nights when Poppy had a tummy upset. She's always had an anxious relationship with her bowel movements, so I was surprised the first night when she silently pooped in the corner of her crate, messing her bedding, stinking up the room. Afterwards, she lay on the opposite corner of her crate, leaving it to me to voice my concern to the humans upstairs.
Her bed was washed and replaced. On subsequent nights, the process was repeated until they resorted to leaving a towel for Poppy to lie on. Fearing I was in the splash zone, I insisted the humans move my bed to another part of the kitchen. They didn't twig this at first, thinking I needed out despite the late hour and inclement weather. It took them a while to realise that it was Poppy who needed the evacuation exercise. She recovered without an emergency visit to the vet, though she did go in for her annual booster (and received a kennel cough vaccine, too).
We've never stayed in kennels, but that may be about to change. The humans combined a visit to North Glassock Boarding Kennels and Cattery with a trip to the Whitelee Wind Farm. Poppy and I never got to see the accommodation inside, but the staff were all lovely. They haven't told us when they plan to leave us.
I'm not sure why we visited Whitelee. The walk was as horrendous as you'd expect for a place known as a wind farm. The wind was so strong, I'd say they'd overdone it. All those giant turbines going whoop...whoop...whoop with excitement, they must love their work. I'll admit the paths were wide and easy to walk on, but I wasn't blown away by the cafe, which wasn't dog-friendly.

| Can we go home now? |
We've been informed that the old couch and chair are being replaced with electric recliners. We're not happy with this, as we weren't consulted. We decided to protest in the laziest way possible.
Even Molly took part in our industrial action.
She stayed over with us over Christmas while the Man's Mum was away. She made herself at home by claiming my living room bed.
I was allowed to sneak upstairs to use the humans' bed.

| Poppy claimed the chair. She wasn't allowed to bring in external chew toys, despite them being natural. |
