My health improving is a double edged sword, or so our Mistress says. On the bright side, I really am quite a lot better and I\u2019m hoping when I see the vet today she might say I don\u2019t have to be on quite so many tablets. On the downside it means I want to be with my Mistress rather than sitting quietly somewhere and will make any amount of noise to try to make it happen. The problem is that just now she won\u2019t take the risk of me and Aristotle being in the room together, because of his tendency to jump on me if I squeal. That means only one of us can be with her at once. So, 50 % of the time I\u2019m in the kitchen making as much noise as I can and being thoroughly annoying and 50% of the time I get my own way. It doesn\u2019t help my cause that Ari is very laid back dog and while he can\u2019t be with our Mistress he rarely moans at all. I\u2019m in a bit of a no win situation here and I know from what\u2019s she\u2019s said that our Mistress is completely fed up with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wouldn\u2019t be bad if she didn\u2019t need to concentrate on what she\u2019s doing. Quite apart from doing her work, at the moment she is doing some very detailed analysis of the pedigree of a puppy in our breed that is unwell. She is trying to understand how we make sure we don\u2019t have the same problem in other dogs and it\u2019s all very complicated. When she\u2019s deep in thought and I break her concentration by barking, she really does get very cross with me. I suppose I can see why, but if she\u2019d pay me attention 24 hours a day instead of worrying about other puppies then it wouldn\u2019t be a problem, not for me anyway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
