A Busy Week and a Homemade Snood: The Pixel Diaries

This week has been very busy, and as such we haven't been able to spend as much time as we would have liked with Pixel.

I had to work Monday and Tuesday, so Pixel spent most of these days asleep in the spare room. On Tuesday night we all bundled into the car for a flying visit to the west country. Unfortunately the journey wasn't as straight forward as we are used to and Pixel got a little travel sick and threw in the cup holder by the back seat.

Despite not getting in until a little before 1am, Pixel and I were up at 6am to go for a walk with Poppy. Every time Pixel and Poppy spend to time together they grow even closer, and this time was no exception. After a couple of hours together, Poppy was trying to play with Pixel but continually chickened out after Pixel got a little over-excited and started spinning on the spot. They were, however, very comfortable with sharing toys, neither growing jealous if the other picked up a toy that they had been recently playing with.

Our stay in the West Country was brief, and we all clambered back into the car for the journey back to Kent on Wednesday afternoon. Pixel, looking a little green around the gills, was unable to help himself and threw up once more. Next time we travel, we are going to talk to the Vets about Pet Travel Sickness tablets, hopefully these will make it a little easier for all of us.

Thursday, Pixel spent the day recuperating from his little adventure, as Ruthie and I both had to work again. I accidentally left our bedroom door open and came home to find my pillow pushed off of the bed, and our travel bag thoroughly rooted through.

Not looking to slow down this week, Pixel and I jumped on a bus on Friday and headed down to Ashford to spend some time with family. As we traveled down on the bus, we didn't a bed with us, so poor Pixel was subjected to having to sleep on the bed with us, which I am sure he absolutely hated.

I was working this Saturday so Pixel and Ruthie headed over to a friends for an afternoon of crafts. Ruthie knitted Pixel a rather fetching Snood to keep his neck warm, and we also discovered Pixel's love of napping in armchairs. Luck for Pixel then, that we should be getting an armchair in the next few months. I am also pretty sure that Pixel's Snood collection might be expanding again in the near future.

So we finally roll round to Sunday and all of us here and Smooth Pixelater have taken the opportunity to rest. As I type this, Pixel is happily snoozing on the front room bed wearing his nice new Snood.
