All I can say is that I\u2019m glad I don\u2019t have a bicycle. Later on our Mistress has agreed that she will go with our Master on a 17 mile cycle ride. That\u2019s about 27km for those of you elsewhere in Europe! Now, given the furthest she has cycled in the last fifteen years is about 11 miles and I saw what she looked like at the end of that, you would think she had learned her lesson, but it seems not. She says she is using cookie dough ice cream as her motivator. I think she\u2019s planning a bowl before she goes to as her energy source and if it weren\u2019t for the fact that it would melt on route I suspect she\u2019d be taking some with her to sustain her on route. For those of you who know her well you may wonder how she comes to be eating cookie dough ice cream when she hasn\u2019t been able to have any dairy products for the last ten or more years, well she\u2019s been trying a new treatment for her allergies and it is working. It is making her very happy indeed, although heavier as well! I think Alfie is planning to tell you more about that one day so I won\u2019t steal his thunder.<\/p>\n\n\n

This is my new collar. It\u2019s funny, even our Master said half the time he only recognises us by our collars so this is going to confuse him. I don\u2019t really believe that. He knows I\u2019m the dog that walks on two legs and sticks my nose into everything. I\u2019m the one with the softest fur and the cheekiest smile! There really is only one Aristotle! Anyway, what do you think? I think it\u2019s rather smart and grown-up. It\u2019s wider than my old one so will take a bit of getting used to, but I\u2019m working on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
