Just as our Mistress thought we were all better, Shadow had now got the bug that I had last week and Ari had the week before. We\u2019re just hoping that Wilma doesn\u2019t get it too. Shadow was being very sick for a while and really was feeling very miserable. Our Mistress is hoping she\u2019s turned a corner and that she will now be able to get some sleep again. Shadow needs to be fit and strong to be a model for the Judge training on Saturday, so we are hoping she bounces back. In her own fashion she has made much more mess than me and Ari put together and was ill on multiple carpets where we restricted ourselves to outside or the stone floors. Our Mistress has been very patient and sympathetic with her and given her lots of fuss and attention.<\/p>\n

In another lesson, our Mistress has learnt why putting a job off is not a good idea. One of our roof tiles was loose, but she thought for just one there didn\u2019t seem much point in calling someone out. Now sadly, given the wind, the loose tile is now multiple small tiles scattered across the drive and given they are not a size that is made anymore the job is rather more complicated. Now she is saying that there is no one calling someone until the wind dies down a little, but I think she\u2019s just waiting to see if the rest of the roof is going to blow away too!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve sent all my forms off to the dog behaviourist to see if they can help me in my anxiety around other dogs. Our Mistress has found some sort of solution for me at home, but when I go out I still get very worked up. I\u2019m sharing Shadow\u2019s room at home for some peace during the day. She doesn\u2019t mind as long as I don\u2019t snore too loudly and it gives Ari and Wilma more playtime without me getting too upset about it. Our Mistress is making sure she gives some time just to me so I don\u2019t feel too left out and so far it\u2019s helping at home. She says that except for the times Ari and Wilma want her to join in the games she can get more work done, which is better.<\/p>\n
