Today began, as yesterday, with a crying puppy. Pip is now spending her days at the tea rooms in a luxurious crate complete with cushion, toy & lots of smiling faces peering in at her. But no, that's not enough. She wants to be held.
So I went in early, set everything up and cradled her to sleep in the fireside chair (having made myself a latte).
Then the 'phone rang.
It was the perfect day for an unexpected coach. This one was from Southampton and had just turned up at the Court.
Not really enough time to get Pip into REM sleep so she cried and barked through the first order.
After a second go at puppy-cuddling she started puppy-snoring and slept for the rest of the morning.
I must be mad to be doing this puppy thing again when the tearooms are still open.
It's utterly exhausting.
Customer of the day was the older lady (in the coach party) who ordered a hot chocolate "with the full fandango, please".
We knew what she meant.
