Nell: You went to the Dog and Dash activity field.
Me: Yes, we did.
Nell: With Nigel.
Me: Yes, and without you for the first time.
Nell: Did you sit in my Semicircle of Power?
Me: We did, to remember you.
Nell: Did any of the dogs join you?
Me: No. Not one. They all stayed outside.
Nell: Good animals showing respect.
Me: It doesn’t mean they won’t enter it the next time we go there, Nell.
Nell: It’s my Semicircle.
Me: You can’t carry this on as a Guardian.
Nell: No password, no entry.
Me: You’re incorrigible.
Nell: Was it difficult to be back at the field again?
Me: Yes, it was. You were everywhere.
Nell: It will get easier.
Me: Everyone had a good run.
Nell: Everyone?
Me: Not me, obviously.
Nell: I was going to say you can’t have changed that much since I left.
Me: I’m still doing my aqua class at the gym.
Nell: Good to hear.
Me: Dave ran and ran. The activity field is perfect for him to really stretch his legs.
Nell: That’s why it’s called Dog and Dash.
Me: Of course.
Nell: Is Rupert wearing a cardigan again?
Me: No. He had a leather jacket on the last time I saw him.
Nell: Oh dear. I don’t like the sound of that.
Me: It suits him, but I agree. He’s a cardigan sort of wolf.
Nell: Yes. He’s called Knitwear Wolf for a reason.
Me: I hope he isn’t damaging his brand.
Nell: I don’t think brand awareness is top of his agenda at the moment.
Me: I expected him to go a little wild after losing you but I’ll be very glad when he goes back to being his usual comfortable self.
Nell: If he ever does.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
