It was odd going swimming yesterday after having a couple of weeks off. I was very good and worked hard, pushing off from the side without being asked. My Mistress was busy telling the lady at the hydrotherapy pool all about her trip with Shadow so I thought I may as well get my head down and get the inevitable out of the way. The lady did make a very sensible suggestion. She said that our Mistress should measure Shadow to see if her body starts increasing in size over the coming weeks and an indicator before she actually has the scan. My Mistress said that last time she could tell by four weeks that Shadow was pregnant so that seems like a good idea. Anyway, when we got home the tape measure came out and some measurements were taken. She says she now has to resist the temptation to take them every five minutes to see if they have changed and will wait until next Tuesday and do a check then. It will probably still be a bit early to notice anything by then, but it will be interesting to see.
We’re back to heating the office with the stove again this week, which is all very well when our Mistress remembers. Sadly the temperature in here has to drop to quite a cold level before it dawns on her she should have lit the fire. Then it takes a long time for it to warm up and in the meantime we are cold. It doesn’t help that the wood that she has brought in is not quite as dry as we would like so it doesn’t burn very well. Ah well, hopefully the weather will start to warm up soon. I really am rather soft for a mountain dog!
