Tuesday 6th August 2013 – Shadow is little hop along

Shadow is feeling sorry for herself. Her paw is bound and then in a plastic boot. She is not impressed and walks as though she hope the boot will go in an entirely different direction. She keeps looking at it with disdain. The good news is that the growth on her foot is in no way tumorous, but we don’t yet know what it is. The portion that our vet has cut away is being sent to the lab for further analysis. Anyway, she’s getting lots of tender loving care and fuss and is at least being able to make the most of that. She says she doesn’t fancy going for a walk for a day or two but would rather put her paws up at home.

My Mistress is frantically getting ready for us going on holiday. She’s trying to make sure she has done all her work before we go and at the same time done all the preparations of the things we need to take. I said ‘It’s not like we are going to a really strange place. We know we can buy the things we need when we get there,’ but apparently that’s not the point, although I don’t know what the point actually is.

My Mistress is very excited as a friend of hers is designing a book cover for her next book and she saw the first draft yesterday and it’s brilliant. Now she’s really excited about the book coming out in October. She’s promised that after that my Woodland Stories can come out as a paperback but that won’t be until next spring, I think. It’s made me wonder if it’s time to write another one, but I’m not sure what to write about next. I wondered about writing a modern day Philosophy of Aristotle.
