It doesn't make any difference if I have a vacation or not.
I had to wake up at 5:30 and everything is the same. Only the housekeeper isn't there and my dad is home. I don't really see him because he hides in the little room next to mine. He doesn't want to clean cupboards and boxes. Before breakfast, I polished shoes and made the beds. All the small furniture I have to carry on the bed. My mom will vacuum later. After breakfast, I cleaned up. We have a dishwasher but I still need to wash everything before I put everything inside.
I fed the dogs too. They eat bread and heart. I think they like it. One day a week they eat raw egg instead of heart. I wait in the kitchen until my mother is back home because I didn't know what to do. It's not allowed to play if the house isn't cleaned.
At the end of the day, we go visit granny.
My dad drives but I still feel sick. I don't like the smell of the car and being tied up.
Granny has a room for herself. It's big and nice. She has two doors to a garden but I don't believe she goes outside for a walk. She talks with dad but gave me a hug. She's the only one who hugs me. I think people like her because she has many cards pinned on the wall.

My aunt visited us.
She drove in her funny car and took Soot with her. Soot is happy but Monty looked so sad. He had to stay home. Dad said he goes to a hotel for dogs. A hotel for dogs? I don't think that's true. There are places where dogs and cats go but it looks more like prison. I saw it in the film Aristocats and more films about dogs. The dog catcher cannot take Monty because he wears a color with a sign. I saw it. There's a number in it and he went to the vet.
Those dogs in prison all look sad and if no one takes them they die. Why has Monty to die? He is a good dog and cannot help he isn't a baby. My aunt took Soot because he's a baby.
I sat with Monty in his bed in the kitchen underneath the table. No one missed me and at least Monty is not alone. He put his head on me. A part of his nose is pink.
My aunt didn't stay long and didn't tell a story but it doesn't matter because Monty and I are together. I hope he won't be too sad tonight alone in his bed.

Tuesday
My mother said I could come with her to the marketplace.
I can not say "no, thank you" because it's not a question. There are many people and I don't like to walk between legs only. I hold her coat but it's not easy. Why does she need to have a look at everything? She isn't really buying anything she always goes to the same shops and some deliver at home.
She goes to a shop to have a look at the cups and little sculptures while I wait and wait. It's one of her favorite shops I think it's boring. We have a hundred cups for coffee and tea and we never use them. They are all in the cupboard too expensive to use. "Royal Albert" is written on it. They have flours printed on it but to me, they are all the same. The same cup with a different flower. A cup you cannot use because it is a pity to do so and I will break it for sure.
I lost my mother at the market. I thought it was her but someone else wears her coat.
