Our Mistress has told me that now I\u2019m rather better my ill-temper is rather noticeable. To be fair, I don\u2019t know which of us was worse yesterday. She hasn\u2019t had a good night\u2019s sleep for a couple of weeks, which is never a good starting point, but I guess I\u2019m not helping. The thing is that I\u2019ve had enough of being in the kitchen. I\u2019ve argued that having more freedom would make me feel better in myself and I\u2019d recover more quickly. Our Mistress has said there is a limit to the things she wants knocked over by the cone round my neck, I need to stay quiet and calm and put my healing leg up. The problem is it\u2019s not healing very quickly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and I\u2019m utterly fed up with being in the kitchen. She is sleeping downstairs with me every night. I know she\u2019s trying, but is it any wonder I get really annoyed if I can hear the others enjoying themselves? Wilma\u2019s tummy is at least improving now so our Mistress hoping for a little more sleep at night, but it\u2019s going to be a few days before I can go upstairs to sleep. I guess she could leave me down here on my own, so I should probably be showing a little more gratitude, but it\u2019s been weeks and there\u2019s only so much a dog can take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think this whole change of season thing is getting to us too. There\u2019s nothing like some sunshine to make you feel better and the thought that we\u2019ve not got six months to wait for the weather starts to improve is not helping any of our spirits. Ah well, I guess it won\u2019t be forever. I think our Mistress has just about conceded it\u2019s time to put her summer clothes away and start wearing her big woolly jumpers. It\u2019s just a shame she didn\u2019t finish knitting the one she started in January which was supposed to be ready for this year. She\u2019s only done about three rows, so there\u2019s a way to go yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
