Molly’s morning routine is to collect the paper and bring it inside for me. Because she is not allowed out the gate unless she’s on a lead, I have to collect the paper from the driveway then throw it onto the lawn for her to fetch, then inside we go and I give her a treat.

This morning we collected the paper but then I was distracted by a txt. Quite a while later, while I was making breakfast, I heard a pitter patter on the tiles, then a thud as the newspaper hit the floor.

Ooops ………. I forgot the treat and I had a very disgruntled looking molly giving me the message – loud and clear.
