Ari posing for a test shot

Because the camera didn’t come in time to go to Granny’s we went to the shop and collected one. Now we just have to take the one they delivered while we were out back to the shop. What it does mean is that I can start bringing you pictures once again, although there is a fair amount of working out how to use it to be undertaken. My Mistress is installing the software to see if she can help me upload any of my test shots to show you.

What was interesting was to discover that the vet was correct in her analysis of Ari’s toilet training. She said that sometimes puppies that stay where they were born find it much harder to learn the rules as they have been used to going where they are in the pen. At Granny’s yesterday Aristotle didn’t put a paw wrong. He didn’t pee or poo anywhere he shouldn’t. Of course he did just as soon as he came home. I think it was to prove a point. He and I then had a big argument and didn’t want to be in the same room as each other. I’d been looking after him all day and I’d had enough. We’ve made up now but we were getting annoyed every time we saw each other for a while.

We have to get the girls back from kennels this morning. It’s been really quiet without them, but I suppose I’ve had a better time than they have so I shouldn’t be too hard on them. They get the best of Sunday as we have to go in the car again and they stay at home with my Master. I thought about offering to swap with one of them, but our crates haven’t arrived for the car yet and I am by far the best as sitting quietly without stressing.
