To all my loyal readers, I’m sorry I’ve been AWOL for a bit. I have been very busy hosting family visitors and recuperating between visits. Just when I think I’ve finally gotten all rested up, mum and dad decide to take me for a run or invite one of my friends over to see me. Needless to say, it’s been a busy summer for me. But I’ve finally gotten a chance to sit mum down so she can help me type this up.
A little over a month ago mum told me that Grammy & Grandpa Steve were coming for a visit. I LOVE Grammy because she’s a total pushover and spoils me a ton. So when mum and I headed to the bus stop I was super excited for what I found on the other end. When I saw them walk through the gates I couldn’t contain my excitement. I jumped and hugged and kissed just so they would know how excited I was that they had come to see me.
I showed them how to get on the bus because I’m an expert. They were both a bit scared about driving on the left side of the road but I assured them that it was okay. It just takes some time to get used to it. Then after we got home and they had a rest I took them to my hill (people call it Calton Hill but that’s because they’re silly). I had a good time running around while they took in the views.
It was great having them visit because we got to go on lots of adventures. It had been a while since I had gotten to ride in a car but dad came home on Sunday morning with an Audi. I told him I could get used to that so he better get a good job one day. Unfortunately the first place they decided to stop didn’t think I would make a good visitor and I had to stay in the car. Silly people – they just don’t know how friendly I am. But it was okay because then we got to go play on a golf course. Dad said it was famous or something but all I cared about was that there was lots of green grass.
And that same day I got to go to two different pubs! Pubs are fun for me because I get lots of attention. At both places I got a nice bowl of water. But I only got biscuits at one. Oh well.
We spent a couple of days in a part of Scotland called the highlands. I didn’t get to go everywhere with Grammy & Grandpa Steve, but I got to stay with them most of the time. My favourite part was running around on the beach. I never get tired of swimming.
When we got back to Edinburgh I had to kick them out of the house so that I could get some much needed rest. Luckily mum is a pretty good tour guide so she was able to take on this task for me. Although I did muster up enough energy to take Grandpa Steve to the top of Arthur’s Seat. The things you do for family.
That’s about it. It was a fun visit because I got all of Grammy’s sandwich crusts and got lots of rubs. Hopefully they’ll come back to visit again one day.
Cheers!
Luther
