Oh I’m one happy Aristotle. Today is a day outside. Thankfully, our Mistress is not coughing quite so much and as it’s going to be sunny has said that we can work on the clean up of the summer house. And the trips to the tip, but I’m less excited about that bit. Anyway, when she’s outside Alfie and I don’t argue so much so it looks as though we’re going to help her for a while and then maybe Wilma will help later. Shadow has selected the sunny patch on the floor of the snug and said she doesn’t want to be disturbed for a while as she’s sun bathing, without the need to be outdoors. I can’t imagine every getting to an age where I’d rather be indoors than out. I live pottering around the garden.
We all had lovely walks yesterday. Our Mistress hadn’t been able to take us for a couple of days so we all made up for it yesterday. By the end of walking all of us, she was ready for a bit of a sleep, but then so were we so everyone was happy.
This week is a big week in our Mistress’s family. Her older nephew is getting married next Saturday. Everyone is quite excited, well our Mistress is anyway. We’ve had the usual ‘I’ve no idea what to wear’. I do find having my own fur coat rather helps in avoiding that problem. Wilma has asked if she is invited, but there are no children going. I pointed out I was an adult in dog terms, but our Mistress said that was a matter for discussion! After telling us we’d be excluded from all of that she had the nerve to say that she is expecting us all to help with the village clean up on the Sunday. Somehow I think I’ll have other plans.
Have a lovely Saturday
Aristotle
