Zak the driver

Angling to get into the driver’s seat are we?

Well they have taught dogs to drive haven’t they?

Yes, but that was in New Zealand and there was no other traffic around.

Ok, ok, it’s just that the view is better from the front.

Tina and Jenni thought that too.

And you’ve been going places without me and I’m ALWAYS invited in the Landcruiser.

That’s not quite true; you are invited when I think you’ll enjoy the trip or when we need to go to the vet. Like last night when you got bitten by a spider. AGAIN! Bit of a slow learner sometimes, aren’t we?

We won’t talk about that now.

An expensive night

Well, that was quite a night.

Yes, it was wasn’t it. One sizeable puddle on the bed, a small one on the carpet and two outside requests.

Don’t forget the spider!

How could I – I have to go and pay for that today. Why didn’t you listen to me?

Well, it looked so interesting. All those legs at funny angles and things. How was I to know it was going to bite – did you?

No, I didn’t, but I did call you because I thought it was not a good idea. Your lip certainly came up nicely too. Well, the vet was right – you are fine now. But they do charge spectacularly for after-hours consults.

Oh, I’ll pay you back!

Yes, Zak, I’m sure you will. Now please return the salt to the packet and my shoes and T-shirt to the bedroom!
