It\u2019s Aristotle here taking an extra day at the helm. Alfie was having a dementia day yesterday so our Mistress has suggested he rests. I can only think he was worried by the idea that the Jack Russell might come to the house or at the least our Mistress might smell of him by the time she got home. He was difficult right from breakfast onwards and our Mistress felt worn out by him and had no idea what else she could do. With it being so hot, she was reluctant to put him in the car even with the windows open. Anyway, that\u2019s why it\u2019s me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the bright side, I\u2019m enjoying the better weather as I get to help with lots of the outside jobs like hanging out the washing and building the new mini greenhouse. Today I\u2019m hoping to help with the summerhouse roof. It\u2019s great as I get to have lots of fresh air but don\u2019t put too much stress on my legs. I can be trusted not to bark and upset the neighbours\u2026 well not too much anyway. I\u2019ve never peed on the washing. I don\u2019t chase bees or eat the plants and generally our Mistress thinks I\u2019m pretty good company. It will be a companionable time as long as I remember to hold the ladder and don\u2019t get too carried away with sleeping in the sunshine. Our Mistress did say that I could only help this morning as Alfie and Wilma will help this afternoon. She can\u2019t leave Wilma to her own devices quite so much though. Oh and Shadow has to go for her swimming lesson too so we won\u2019t be working outside then either. I\u2019ll just have to make the most of the time we are out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
