We’ve been spending more time in the lounge watching some television at the end of each evening recently. Well to be honest, Shadow is usually the only one who watches, I doze and Ari pesters. Anyway, the settee is a leather finish so it quite cold to lie on. Yesterday, to make us more comfortable 2 ‘teddy bear’ throws were purchased to go over the spots on the settee where we sit. My Mistress said it was something to do with not wanting dog slobber on the settee, but I’m sure she really meant they were solely for our comfort. Besides, I can’t help it if her supper is always appetising and something I would like to be sharing! Ari is fed up as he usually sits on the floor, unless he can displace me from my spot up close to our Mistress, and then I sulk! We have tried to persuade our Mistress to sit in the middle so we can sit either side of her, but she likes to be up against the corner of the settee so she can reach her drink. I’d pass it to her when she needed it if she asked. Ari can’t be trusted to pass it if it’s cherry brandy as he rather likes the taste and tends to dip his tongue in it on the way passed. Shadow sits right at the other end of the settee. Sometimes she cuddles up to our Master and sometimes she likes her own space. She’s so much more independent than Ari and me.
We had a lovely walk again yesterday. I do like it when we all go out together. We went to the airfield and the mist was slowly breaking up and rising and it really was quite spectacular and more than a little bit eerie. It doesn’t help that my Mistress has written a crime novel amongst other things and has a vivid imagination.
