Wednesday 24th October

Brody is 10 weeks old today. I drive off to work with a slight sigh of relief. There is no way Steve is getting any work done at home today. My voice is unrecognisable – it comes and goes so often I don’t know whether anything will come out when I open my mouth to speak. I update work colleagues with news and photos of Brody. I think they’re all relieved that the dog drama story finally has a happy ending. I have a long day at work today – everyone’s staying on late for Kindle training. We start selling them in the morning, so we’ve all to learn how they work. I’m looking forward to seeing Brody tonight. When I do finally get home, I’m greeted by this beautiful pup with his ears down pressed right back, so all you see is a nobbly head, bottom wobbling, tail wagging. I get loads of kisses, licks and tugs on clothes. What a lovely welcome.
