Saturday 20th April 2013 – I’m in Charge

My Mistress is off out for the day, so I’m in charge. I suppose in human terms the burden of responsibility falls on my Master, but he prefers if I take it. I’m hoping that the weather will stay good so that we can spend the day outside. I’m enjoying the better weather. I think you appreciate it more when it’s been so cold and miserable. You can tell it’s been warmer as all the spiders have been packing their bags and moving out for the summer. I’ve been lying here watching some of them walk past.

Megan was poorly yesterday. She had a tummy bug, which led to quite a lot of clearing up. We’re all hoping that she hasn’t passed it on to the rest of us. She had to go to the vet and have a couple of injections and was feeling really sorry for herself. Then Ari had to go to the vet as he has a sore patch on his paw. I was just hoping no one could think of a reason that I would have to go to the vet!

Megan is going to have another chance to try for puppies but she is going to wait for a stud dog in this country first. She might be going to stay somewhere else for a little while to take her away from Shadow’s influence. I overheard my Mistress talking it through with her, but I didn’t hear the detail. I think my Mistress wants to talk to her friend in Switzerland about the plan before making a final decision. Whatever happens she will be coming back here to have her puppies and if it works she’ll hopefully have several litters of puppies. I think the hope is that she will mate with one of Aristotle’s brothers.
