Morning everyone, Aristotle here. You know those hamster wheel things? I don\u2019t want one for myself I was thinking of putting our Mistress in one. She seems to have spent her week running around in circles and not actually going anywhere, so I thought I\u2019d make the process official. It wears me out just watching her. She\u2019s well matched with Wilma who probably could use the dog equivalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Mistress talked to the vet about Wilma\u2019s season. It\u2019s due anytime in the next few weeks. Now you all know how excited she is about Crufts, second only to how excited she got when a pheasant jumped out in front of her yesterday. Anyway, our Mistress has decided that Wilma will have an injection to delay her season just this once. She would not normally do something like that, but as it will be Wilma\u2019s only time in the show ring, unless she gets automatic qualification for next year by being placed, our Mistress decided that just this once it was the right thing to do. It\u2019s very unlikely that Wilma will be able to have puppies so she will be neutered, but only after they have had a trip to Switzerland and seen a specialist to be absolutely certain there is nothing which can be done. She is going on Monday and apparently it will delay it for three to five months, so if things go to plan they will have been to Switzerland and know the score before it wears off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Mistress is putting together a big shopping list for when she is at Crufts. So far it has on it lots of dog food, a big crate for when Alfie needs it and she\u2019s now added a really good bed for me. I\u2019m having more problems with my leg and absolutely anything our Mistress can do to delay when it has to be operated on is her preference. When I was a puppy they said there is a very complicated operation but as it is only normally done on much older dogs they can\u2019t be sure it would last more than a couple of years. Our Mistress doesn\u2019t want to do anything that might make me worse in the long run. We\u2019ve managed it very well until now, but I\u2019m starting to have more problems. We\u2019re talking to Alfie about whether he would mind going back to swimming every other week, so I can increase my swimming sessions again and if I have a better bed then maybe that will help too. I\u2019m not one to complain though. I\u2019m very happy and get an awful lot of love, which is what I want more than anything in the whole world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a happy Saturday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
