Really, our humans, you can't let them out of your sight for one minute.
Well I say it jolly well serves Gail right for leaving me at Janet's house on Saturday and heading off on her old bicycle (without me) to visit Human Granny again.
So Gail returned eventually, looking a bit sheepish and mumbling something about a large twig getting stuck between the mudguard and the wheel of her bicycle causing her to take a tumble.
But you and I know that the accident was all about people who abandon their pets getting their just deserts, don't we?
Believe me, the photo above is the most flattering one you can take of Gail just now. Oh my word that bruise is beginning to look more colourful than I'm guessing Gail's language was when she picked herself up off that bike path.
But anyway, I'm pleased to report that things improved on Sunday, when Gail and Janet took me on a lovely walk in Derbyshire.
Clever Janet found a route that was mostly in the shade, which helped me survive the thirty degree heat.
But to be honest, on Monday both Gail and I were happy to be boarding the train back north to cooler climes.
And of course you will want to meet my new friend from Hong Kong, on a month long holiday to Europe with her family, to celebrate her graduation. You do run into the nicest people on the East Coast line to Edinburgh.
