Yesterday was one of those days. Our Mistress has bronchitis and hadn\u2019t had a good night. She asked us all if we would mind keeping the noise levels downs as she had a headache from all the coughing. I tried explaining to Wilma that she needed to play quietly but her definition of quiet is not quite we our Mistress had in mind. This is a short video extract from the day HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We did manage to go for a walk, but it was rather slower than usual, which I didn\u2019t mind. Come to that Wilma enjoyed herself as it gave her more time to go in all the puddles and she came back soaking wet. You wouldn\u2019t believe how much rain we seem to be having. I can\u2019t work out where it\u2019s all coming from. Surely it has to stop eventually or it\u2019s going to run out!<\/p>\n

\"please<\/a>
please let me climb up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The afternoon was quieter but Wilma kept wanting to get onto our Mistress\u2019s knee while she was working at the desk. Our Mistress has tried explaining that she\u2019s really a bit too big for that, but you know what we\u2019re like. We like to be close to our humans and if that means sharing the seat they\u2019re on then no matter how small it is, or the fact that being on casters we end up pushing it round the room, we\u2019re prepared to give it a try. Wilma is really getting quite big. Our Mistress is looking forward to taking her to swimming when we go on Tuesday so that she can put her on the scales and weigh her. Wilma\u2019s asked if we can get the measuring stick out to see how tall she is. She wants to know if she\u2019s reached the height she has to be to pass her breeding test yet. Our Mistress explained that she had a long time left to do her growing so there was no rush, but then she remembered when she was a child and all the marks on the kitchen wall where she kept wanting to be measured. I think there are still marks between the tiles at our grandparents\u2019 house from all those years ago now. I said we could mark Wilma\u2019s progress on the kitchen wall here, but our Mistress seemed less keen on that idea.<\/p>\n
