Saturday 11th October 2014 – A Quiet Weekend

My Mistress says the most exciting thing she is planning to do this weekend is go to buy some socks. It’s strange what a human can find exciting, but then she’s resorted to wearing odd pairs again because the respective matching ones have been binned due to the holes. She can clearly remember when she last bought some. It was September 2012, the third Saturday to be precise. Why on earth would she remember a detail like that? It was our Southern fun day and she has arrived back from taking Shadow to mate in Switzerland straight to the fun day. It was the time when Megan had come into season whilst they were there and my Mistress left her with the intention of going a week later to pick her up, only to find that Megan was ready to mate on that Saturday. The long and the short of it was that rather than drive another 200 miles home only to have to turn straight round and go back, my Mistress drove back to Switzerland the following day which meant an emergency underwear shopping trip to Sainsbury’s in Maidenhead. Which is why she knows exactly when she last bought socks.

I’ve not had my test results yet, but I’m still trying to prove how well I am. I went for another lovely walk yesterday and found some really tasty pig manure as a snack while I was there, so that was a bonus. Thankfully it was Ari’s turn to swim but that means I have to go next week. Shadow says she wants to try swimming, but our Mistress says she’ll have to try a lake or river as she won’t be taking her to hydrotherapy as she doesn’t need it. Shadow said that wasn’t fair, but when I said she could go in my place as long as she had my back problems as well she didn’t seem so keen.
