I\u2019m off to the vets to have my biopsies today. I am not looking forward to it. It\u2019s not helped by the fact that I have not been allowed to eat anything since last night and I\u2019m hungry. I get very grouchy when I\u2019ve not been fed so you can get something of an idea what our household is like this morning. Not getting my bedtime biscuit was bad enough, but waking up hungry and making our Mistress get up early has not gone down well and come 7.15 when the full impact of not being able to eat or have my daily chew hits me I will be very hard to live with! Anyway, it gives me something to look forward to when I come home. If it\u2019s anything like usual when I have to have an anaesthetic our Mistress is going to have a worse morning than I am. She tends to be very shaky when I have to go under, whereas I just think of happy fields of rabbits waiting to be chased and I\u2019m fine. The time I had my first operation was the worst. She sat in a caf\u00e9 in the Netherlands drinking strong coffee while she waited for me and by the time she picked me up she was a total quaking wreck could barely hold her purse without dropping it. Oh she was in a state. I was fine, but when she got back to collect me and pay the vet they didn\u2019t take credit cards and she had to go out to find a cashpoint before she could take me away. It just about finished her off! Anyway, I shall just remind her that I was fine then and it might be nearly ten years since that first one, but I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll be fine now. She will be taking Aristotle swimming so hopefully that will help take her mind of things too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
