Well the weather has turned very autumnal and we\u2019re all preparing to hibernate for the winter. At least in the short term, until we get over our depression about the end of summer, we\u2019re quieter than normal. Our Mistress wants to eat so she can sleep safely through the winter until she can face the world again and the rest of us are prepared to curl up with her, but would like to continue to be fed on a daily basis. The fact that she\u2019s refusing to put the central heating on doesn\u2019t help. The instruction to \u2018put another jumper on\u2019 is fine for the human members of the household, but some of us don\u2019t own a jumper and wouldn\u2019t be seen out in it if we did. Normally, just having the office fire on is all we need but we\u2019re not all sitting in the office at the moment. Wilma is still too lively, post season, to share the room with Aristotle and I\u2019m not helping by barking the whole time if I<\/p>\n\n\n\n

can hear them playing. I can\u2019t share the room with anyone in case they either help me take this wretched cone off or lick my leg for me and Shadow is her usual self, enjoying sitting like a cat on a chair in the front room so she can watch what little of the world bothers to go past our tiny corner of the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I\u2019d be fed up now whatever the weather was doing. It\u2019s been two weeks since my operation and I assumed by now I\u2019d be cone free. Our Mistress says the wound under my paw is looking quite good, but the one on my leg has still got a way to go. She says if she has to guess I\u2019ll have the cone on for another week yet. I\u2019ve not managed to do any permanent damage with it but it\u2019s not for want of trying. I keep knocking chairs over and opening kitchen cupboards with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
