Uh ... well, see ... er ... the thing is ... um ... I-I'm going out of town. Yeah, that's it. Going away, far away. Don't know when I'll be back. So Spot will just have to stay with you until I get back.
:)
Don’t worry about Spot, Jonny. I bought him a whole stack of tiny little hankies with his Initial on it. I’m sure he has enough to wipe up his tears. He’ll be fine. Don’t give it a thought. He’s OK, honest. He doesn’t expect even a passing thought. Have a good trip.
