January 31. Day 31. Coming, ready or not

 In Winkle's short life, the appearance of the suitcase has meant only one thing - people she loves are about to go and leave her.
This is not a situation she approves of.
So she was staying close, very close. I think she figured if she stayed on or in the suitcase she couldn't be left behind.
The thing that Winkle will learn very, very soon is that whenever possible all stops - and the Visa card - are pulled out to ensure that dogs come too. Dogs are family and all the family go on family holidays.
You will wake up tomorrow at the beach house tomorrow and then you will learn just what the red suitcase of opportunity can mean.
