 Hello, it’s Jess again.

As you can see from the picture, I’m typing this out on the computer. So I’m really coming on leaps and bounds.

    Leo is really funny. He keeps letting me chase him in the garden, but what he does, is to run in a figure of 8. Because my legs are so short, I can’t run as fast as him, so when I get to the

middle of the 8, he is on his way back and jumps over me so I have to turn around. Sometimes he stops right in front of me, and I haven’t quite got the hang of stopping quickly yet, so I hit him from behind. He seems to think it is quite funny.

  When Leo is not there, I now get very adventurous and go down to the bottom of the garden on my own. It feels like I’m being very brave to go there alone.

  I don’t know why, but I keep getting the urge to dig holes in the brown stuff beside the grass. I think they call the grassy area the lawn, and the brown stuff is called earth and is the flower beds. Luckily, I seem to miss the flowers though. Leo digs holes in the earth and buries bones in there. Then ten minutes later, he’ll dig them up again. I think he is so old that if he leaves them there any longer, he will forget where they are.

  

Now I’ve been here for over a week, I’ve started to learn that there are certain things you shouldn’t do in the house. So if I need a wee or a poo, I go into the garden. When I do, Linda tells me I’m a good girl and gives me a kiss and a cuddle.  At night, Linda keeps the kitchen door closed so that the fox can’t get in and eat me and Leo.

If I need to go out then, I give a little cry to let Linda know, and she opens the door for me, and keeps an eye on the garden while I’m outside. She has put lights on the fence all down the garden so she can see if anything is lurking out there.

  Because I now know that I have to go outside to do my business, before I go to sleep Linda lets me out. Then when I’ve finished, we go up to the bedroom. It is very comfortable, and I sleep for the rest of the night. In the morning, I let Linda know I have to go, and she takes me downstairs. Then we go back up to bed for some more sleep. Leo will join us then. I think he normally stays with Pete. When those two get together at night, it seems like there is a football match going on with 200 a side from the amount of noise there is.

   That’s all for now. There should be some more news (and pictures) in a week or so. But before I go, Kiss has sent me this picture taken the morning after I arrived. He was trying to check his e-mails to see if there were any jobs and he says from those he applied for that morning, he has had 3 interviews. So it looks like I’m lucky for him.
