Apparently Florence had had a hard day.
This is where I found her at 4.45 pm yesterday afternoon.
Her day didn't start well when she lost her ball on her morning walk.... this wasn't helped by a few cross words exchanged between her and a Lakeland Terrier when she tried to 'borrow' his ball to replace her lost one.
Things then went from bad to worse when the kittens (all four of them) tucked into her breakfast before she got home from her walk, and she then got told off for telling them off.
Then Woody (her cocker spaniel counterpart - and supposedly best friend) took off with her bear and dropped it in a puddle in the garden, covering it all sorts of unmentionables.
And to top it all off those blasted kittens seem to be getting all the attention round here... so she took herself off to bed.... my bed as it happens... and sulked. She sulked for at least an hour - which I consider to be quite a concerted effort - in order to let everyone know exactly how upset she actually was.
Man, some days life just dishes you out a bad lot.
Have a good week !! xx

Oh Florence I know just how you feel! I too considered flouncing back to bed yesterday but I dug over the veg beds instead!
Hi Nicky, just wanted to say that I love the colour you painted the studio, it looks great I bet you are loving it? I hope you are managing to get your early morning Autumny strolls in too....
Have a lovely week,

Poor Florence, just like cats to hug all the limelight. Stay in bed Florence, especially if its mum's!
I love the way your shop is coming on it looks fab and did I spy a little doggie in the window? Will there be any canines at the V&H?
Have a good week. Jane xxx

i do believe that you should come and live with us in the Highlands of Scotland...

Poor Florence - it must be difficult for a little dog!
I am very excited as for our autumn weekend away we are going to Chipping Sodbury - on the weekend of the Vintage and Handmade Fair! I am so looking forward to seeing some of your bears in real life...

A dog's life indeed!!! Rosie (long gone) used to sulk - so funny to watch, especially when she would turn her head away if we looked at her!!

That's so funny. Our Maisie used to sulk like that if things didn't go her way!

I had to laugh and laugh at this because my late grandmother's name was Florence, and she was famous for taking to her bed whenever life was too aggravating (usually always, for her).
