Now I didn’t think I’d say this, but I’m missing Aristotle and Shadow. I shall be very pleased to see them home tomorrow as the house has just been too quiet without them. I feel a little lost. I know I say all I ever want is to have our Mistress all to myself, but it turns out that I’m wrong. I think I do actually like having some dog company too. Oh I know it all gets too much for me and I do hate being pounced on, but there is a level of companionability that is nice to have, quite apart from someone to wash your ears when they need it. I quite like having my ears washed by either Shadow or Ari, but I’m not so keen on having my teeth cleaned by our Mistress. I am getting used to it a little bit, but the brush feels funny on my mouth and it has made my gums bleed. Our Mistress says that my gums will stop bleeding and be better for it, but just at the moment I am stuck on the ‘That’s my blood and I’m not supposed to be able to see it’ feeling. It does feel nicer in my mouth after our Mistress has brushed them, so I suppose it’s worth persevering.
There is an Entlebucher Fun Day in March and I was thinking maybe I’d ask my grandparents if I could spend the day with them and not go, but now I’ve found my girlfriend is hoping to go and I’m in two minds. I really want to see Bella and if she’s there she will stop all the others being mean to me, but I’m not quite sure yet. If I go the games are always difficult as Ari will only take part with our Mistress and of course that’s what I want to do, so I get a bit moody.
