Shadow was a bit surprised this morning when I remembered to go up to her and wish her a happy Mother\u2019s Day. She\u2019s heard from some of my brothers and sisters too, so she\u2019s feeling very spoilt. She is going to be celebrating with an extra biscuit, but says she can\u2019t have too much because now she has a waist she doesn\u2019t want to lose it again. I on the other paw have realised that my waist is disappearing and I\u2019m not really sure where it\u2019s gone. Our Mistress says I\u2019m suffering from middle age spread, but the only spread I\u2019ve seen is a cheese one in the fridge. The sad part of it, given I can\u2019t increase my exercise is that I am now starting on a diet and can\u2019t laugh at Shadow anymore. My rations aren\u2019t being cut by as much as hers were, but then I have no aspiration to be a show dog. I am cutting my food allowance by a quarter and have been told to stop eating between meals too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We completed operation summerhouse yesterday. Even I was a little alarmed by the size of some of the spiders who were displaced in the process. When I say \u2018displaced\u2019 they all had three options. Firstly, they could leave of their own accord and I\u2019m pleased to say many took of the resettlement package. Secondly, they could be sucked up the cleaner and take pot luck whether they survived the ordeal of being deposited somewhere else. Thirdly, they could be stamped into oblivion if they had the audacity to run toward our Mistress. Sadly, some took that option. Anyway, everything is now as clean and tidy as a summerhouse can be and will be in use regularly over the next few months, if all goes to plan. Our Mistress says she will take some of the dog beds down there that we use for kennels so we can be completely comfortable while she works. I\u2019m rather looking forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
