I\u2019ve got an ear infection and I\u2019m fed up. I hate having drops put in my ears and having our Mistress trying to clean them out. I\u2019ve never liked my ears being touched at the best of times but this is just too much. I\u2019ve also been feeling really hungry. I think that might be psychological. Shadow has been complaining about being on a diet and it\u2019s making me think about food all the time. I even did something I haven\u2019t done for years. I pulled the grill pan and a meat tin down off the work surface. They were waiting to be washed up and I have to say I really enjoyed licking them out. I didn\u2019t enjoy the noise they made when they fell on the stone floor and it\u2019s probably a good job they weren\u2019t breakable. What\u2019s the odd dent in a metal meat tin between friends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My ear means no swimming for me for a couple of weeks too, which is a pain as although I complain about going I do quite enjoy it and it\u2019s the only place I\u2019m happy going out. Our Mistress has said she will try to take me out in the car with her this week so I don\u2019t feel too sad. I quite like going out for drives with her as long as we park where there are not dogs around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the plus side, Ari will go swimming in my place and he\u2019s been having quite serious problems with his leg so he is very grateful. He\u2019s the most uncomplaining dog that it even makes me feel a little bit guilty sometimes. I think Shadow is going with him today so she can get on the scales. She\u2019s asked if she can do that in private with no one seeing what it says, but I suspect our Mistress will have other ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
