It was minus 7 when we went out yesterday morning. Can you imagine as a dog having to go out to the toilet when it\u2019s that cold? I can tell you it is not good! It didn\u2019t get much better when the car wouldn\u2019t start, but fortunately that was only a temporary problem. It did start in time to take my aunt to the station for the day trip she was going on while we came back to have a quiet day. Our Mistress is feeling very tired and wants a bit of a break, so has said that we\u2019ll have a quiet couple of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the pet shop Wilma said she\u2019d like the green fluorescent harness, but they didn\u2019t have her size. She was very good and smiled and said could she have pink then. Unfortunately they didn\u2019t have her size in pink either. She has ended up with white and black in the reverse pattern to Aristotle\u2019s. He will be thrilled when he finds out. She chose a blue collar, which <\/p>\n\n\n

probably doesn\u2019t go with the harness but they didn\u2019t have one that matched. Then we both chose some biscuits. I cleared the shelf of all the malt and vanilla ones and our Mistress found some similar mini ones for Wilma so we both came away with our tails wagging. I\u2019ve got four bags so they should keep me going for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had separate walks. Our Mistress wanted to start to do a little training with Wilma. As it turned out, I was feeling all out of sorts and didn\u2019t want to walk further away than the house than I could still see it. More to the point it was the car I still wanted to see. I\u2019m finding getting old is very hard and very stressful and I\u2019ve said it may be best if this is the last time I come abroad. Anyway, once I\u2019d got back I asked if I could sit in the car while our Mistress took Wilma. I feel safe there, even though the engine wouldn\u2019t start this morning. Wilma\u2019s walk was harder work. She was not sure about leaving where she was used to and was trying to run home, making getting her to walk to heel a bit of a challenge. There is going to be a period of adjustment for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
