Poor little Tess. She really hasn’t coped with all her brothers and sisters leaving. She has howled her little heart out. None of us can console her, only my Master or my Mistress. If they will cuddle her and stroke her she’s fine and calms down. We’ve tried Shadow sitting with her. We’ve tried Aristotle sitting with her. We even tried me playing with her. None of it worked. Eventually my Mistress found one of Ari’s old toys that has given her something to do to keep herself amused but safe to say, after five minutes we were back to square one. She has got to get through it, but my Mistress will only let any of us howl so long before she intervenes to calm us down. I suspect it’s going to be a long week! She may sleep downstairs with Tess so that she gets some sleep, but then the problem is that we all want to join her and it gets a bit busy on the settee when we do that.
Aristotle found a new girlfriend while he was in kennels. He’s a good looking dog and almost everywhere he goes the girls fall in love with him. His latest girlfriend is a black Labrador. I’ve been told that humans think I’m a good looking chap, but I don’t know what the difference is with Ari, it’s not only humans but every female dog he meets that seem to think he’s good looking. I’m doing something wrong.
Today is exciting as my Mistress is buying snow chains. She thinks it’s exciting anyway. It’s so that she can get to Switzerland with Megan when she goes. You have to have them in certain placed there. It makes sense if there is a lot of snow. I just hope she doesn’t get too dirty when she has to fit them to the wheels!
