Monday 25th March 2013 – Making the most of the peace

Today I am mainly making the most of any peace and quiet I can get. This is the last day of just the three of us at home, quietly together with my Mistress. After today either she isn’t here or there will be another dog as well. Amigo will come back here on Wednesday even if it is just briefly and then before we know it Megan will be home and we’ll have to readjust to being a four dog household. My Mistress has sat me down and said I’m going to have to cope with Megan getting a lot of attention over the next few weeks. In theory I’m fine with that, but I know the reality will be much more difficult. If I’m being honest, I’m finding getting older quite a difficult and at times a traumatic process. What I really want is a nice quiet life of just my Mistress and me and then maybe an occasional playmate. At most I could cope with being in a two dog household. I suppose I could even cope with being one of four if the others didn’t pick on me.  It’s not easy being a pacifist in this world.

Did I tell you that my Mistress and Master needed fancy dress for this weekend they are going to? I’m sworn to secrecy as to what they have settled on, but I’m hoping I might be able to bring you a photograph after the event. If I can get one I’ll post it and then see if you can guess what comedy they are. I think I can probably get away with saying that there are some very silly hats and some fun children’s toys involved- I think if I say anything more than that I’m going to get into big trouble.
