All her fault
I’ve told Mum that it’s all her fault. She is complaining that we don’t have very warm weather. I pointed out that her ‘summer body’ wasn’t exactly ready if it was. She didn’t seem too thrilled by that suggestion and simply went back to eating a bar of chocolate. What’s the point in warm weather if you’re still in your winter body? Perhaps it should be Mum chasing after the ball instead of me. Mind you, to be fair, half the time I do make her chase after it, she just doesn’t go as quickly as I do. She’s reluctant to pick it up with her mouth too, which I think is very remiss of her. I try telling her that a few good old fashioned germs would do her good, but it’s one of those things I think we’re always going to see differently.
Alfie’s exercise regime
Alfie is reluctantly continuing his new exercise regime. He did four laps of the garden yesterday. Shadow went out with him. She was supposed to be offering encouragement. Given that at one point I heard him shouting ‘Will someone get that annoying dog out of my way?’ he may not have been seeing it in the same light. I think the real problem hit when she kept trying to take the treats he was being offered for encouragement. He’s just such a softie where food is concerned and even though he likes eating he’d still let any of the rest of us take his food.
New Week’s Resolutions
Mum has been feeling a bit low. Ari and I have been running a shift system to cheer her up and check on her, but yesterday I hit on a whole new idea. Given that making New Year’s Resolutions can give her a bit of a boost I said we shouldn’t limit them to the year. I made her sit down and work out what she wanted to achieve this week and promised to help her with them. I made a few suggestions to start with, things like ‘Walk Wilma whatever the weather’, and then I let her get on with it from there. If nothing else she has got as far as making some lists and we went for a walk even though it was cold and blowy and she didn’t feel like it yesterday, so that’s a start.
Have a great Monday
Love Wilma
