Enforced rest weighs heavily

Mum went and left us for an entire night to go see her friend Delight in Portland and then go to the dentist. We stayed home with Dad but we should have been allowed to go on the trip. Even though my leg is ever so slightly better, I have so much pent up energy I am about to go bonkers.

Cooper suggested we keep watch for Mum all night, in case she came to her senses and came home to tuck us into bed. But she did not. So I was both sad and bonkers.

Mum is home now and we can leave our sentry duty. But this enforced rest is still so boring...
