A few days back I introduced Benji to Philippa of Animal Ark (https://www.animalarkcopthorne.com). She will be helping him adapt by visiting some days when I’m at school as he’s been finding it a bit tough when I have had to go out. I’m pleased we found someone who can deal with his particular needs. She knows where I keep the Duck Treats and where he hides crispy donkey.
Anyway Benji and I did sit down and have a chat about me going back to school. It’s amazing how up to date he is with current guidelines. Apparently I have to wash my paws regularly, try not to touch my face and stay away from people not wearing masks. I think he’s even read the DFE guidance for schools document!
He’s also said that he’s sad that we won’t be having visitors to the flat any time soon now that I am going to come in contact with anything up to 150 students a day. He has said though that he appreciates having Phillipa from Animal Ark visiting to take him for a walk and give him treats and hugs. He’s also apologised as he got a bit anxious today and peed on his favourite blanket when Phillipa arrived today. Apparently though he says she was very understanding and cleaned up after him. I’m not sure which of us is more relieved it’s the weekend Benji or me. We’ve decided that now we’ve collected our deliveries from Jane and Maddie (probably confused the delivery drivers not finding me home after such a long time) we are going to curl up in a chair and watch tv. Have had to say no to Benji. I just can’t face watching Tiger King again.
