Absence...

..will make the heart go stronger.

I'm really looking forward to visiting my Canadian family next week, but I'm going to sorely miss this little guy.

Mr O. (who secretly adores him) is taking on the main carer role, while Miss O. will occasionally lay on the couch with him, and feed him cheese and onion crisps.

This is our last walk together before I go, and he looks so happy in the buttercups :-)
