Hi! Pippin here, safe and sound at home.

Everything was fine on the Isle of Wight, except the weather and the grass. It was very wet, when Mummy stayed home and read books and stuff, and the next day she played trains, when it was not too bad, weatherwise. I think we went out on the grass that day. It was nice to be outside, but the grass wasn’t nice. The next day Mummy changed her mind about where to go, because she didn’t want to drive so far, but she went for a walk by the sea and saw a reptile rescue place, mainly for turtles. Apparently guinea pigs are not the only pets people lose interest in.

And the next day we came home.

I was glad of that because I’d begun to feel a bit sore in my belly. It wasn’t the grass, that was all happening fine, but it was hurting to wee. Mummy was worried about me, although it hadn’t stopped me spending most of my holiday standing up and watching Ronnie and Reggie. Then Friday night I felt really poorly, and Mummy tried cuddling me. That’s when she saw I had wee’d blood. She looked at my bottom very closely, gave me some meds, and said she’d phone the vet in the morning. She did, but by then I was feeling better. What was feeling sore suddenly stopped. I think it came out. Anyway, I’m feeling much better now, and eating lots, especially Mummy’s yummy grass!

And it stopped being cold, and started being very hot! But we have nice temperatures in our room, all the time. Mummy puts the awning out for shade first thing in the morning, and waits till it’s cooler before we go out on the grass, in the shade.

I prefer being home. Mummy thinks the Sussex cottage might have been better, but we never tried the grass there. The ferry was okay on the way back, because Mummy found the lift. I don’t really need to go on holiday though.

Do you go on holiday? Where?

love
