nightmare on lorraine crescent

... although it had some nice stuff too. Well, Kenzie came to stay for his first night away from Maman, and no-one liked it. He is sooky, and Charlie, who would never normally sook nuffink, was in this case appalled by the very thought of his existence (as she has been at previous encounters). Look all this would be manageable except when it came to the sleeping arrangements, which as you probably know matters a lot in dog world. Kenzie stayed inside for a time and Charlie could not come at this. Mia and I took turns hanging around with Charlie in the outside cabin hoping that she would eventually calm down and go to sleep. Worst bit was when I thought Charlie really had curled up and gone to sleep and then just like some Steve Martin family movie, something (I'm still unsure what) slid off the top of the kennel and hit the ground, giving both Millie and Charlie a huge fright and causing them to bark up a rumpus. The barking was the bad thing, if Charlie had just been unhappy I could have slept through that. So we had Kenzie inside not really promising to be good in the house, and Charlie promising to keep up a bark vigil all night. It was bad. In the end I got a couple of hours' sleep altogether, trying to placate dogs (I know how this sounds but I was wide awake, for some reason). In the end I just chucked Kenzie out the back door, which he didn't like, but no-one barked nothing.

I'm going to come back to this ep of Ryan because it has an amazing North Melbourne car chase, but first I want to honour Margaret Cruic...
