Shadow is a bag of hormones again. She always gets like this when she is approaching her season. She wants to play. Not just a little bit, no, that I could put up with. She wants to play ALL the time! She’s nearly six for goodness sake. That makes her about 40 in human terms. She should not want to play all the time. Mind you, Aristotle isn’t much better. He’s now about 21 in human terms and has reached adulthood, but clearly that is news to him. The two of them can roll over and over without any thought for who or what is around them. My Mistress was discussing whether Shadow will be spayed after her final litter and I asked if I could have a vote on the subject as I would definitely be part of the ‘Yes’ campaign. Anything to make things more settled in the household. Unfortunately it does not seem to be my decision and my Mistress says she and Shadow will discuss it with our vet after the next litter and the decision will totally be based on what is in the best interests of Shadow’s health. I’m off to do some research on the internet and print out any articles I find that show that spaying will be the best thing for her health wise!
My Mistress is not feeling so good. She had to go to the dentist the other day and it turns out that the anaesthetic can interfere with the treatment she is taking for her food intolerances and allergies. Hopefully she will only be set back for a few days or at most a few weeks, but she was poorly again from the things she ate so had a horrible reminder of what it is like. On the bright side, going back to a very limited diet for a few days will help her lose the remaining weight she is trying to get rid of!
