Now you see it, now you don\u2019t. It\u2019s funny when something you are so used to seeing every time you go outside the back door is suddenly not there. It\u2019s one way we are just like humans. We do a double take as we realise there is something significant missing. In this case it is the water feature of three barrels that our Master and Mistress have. It sits outside the back door and throughout most of the year there is a waterfall that cascades down the three barrels. When I got up yesterday it was there. When I went out just before elevenses it was missing. It\u2019s not the sort of thing you would think could be taken away without me noticing, but I guess I was asleep and to be fair one of my ears is a bit bunged up. I was relieved to hear it will be coming back. It has been taken away for some repairs to be undertaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for my ear, that hasn\u2019t been taken away for repair, but our Mistress did spend quite some time trying to gently clean it out. She says she will have another go later and if that doesn\u2019t work then I may have to go to see the vet. It wouldn\u2019t be so bad if the wax didn\u2019t get caught in the hairs of my ear. Quite apart from that I\u2019ve always hated my ears being played with as they hurt. Apparently, it\u2019s something to do with the cartilage, that and the fact I\u2019m a wimp! Anyway, I guess I\u2019m going to have to sit quietly and be a good boy while our Mistress tries to help. I should spend more time with Shadow, she\u2019s always been the one who\u2019s best at cleaning ears in our house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
