It\u2019s funny, it\u2019s only when you eventually let all the tension out and truly relax that you realise just how tired you are. Despite Armadillo having got out of my bed, I still left it empty in case he wanted it and stretched out on the floor. Some days a rug is all it takes to get comfortable. I\u2019m also now understanding a little more of Wilma\u2019s complaint that our Mistress was keeping her awake at night, now that\u2019s it\u2019s my turn to stay by her side at night. I guess it can\u2019t be helped but she really could try to learn to cough more quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This evening our Mistress is supposed to be helping with a \u2018Ladies Night\u2019 in the village. However, there\u2019s just one small problem, she is not well enough still. Instead it\u2019s our Master to the rescue to take her place. He has offered to either run the bar or be a model and for obvious reasons he is being put behind the bar! He is in our Mistress\u2019s words \u2018incorrigible\u2019, which to be honest is a word a dog doesn\u2019t need to use all that often. But then, given he\u2019s going to miss out this year as there is no village pantomime I think he may be looking for ways to make up for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/279376292553301\/?acontext=%7B%22source%22%3A3%2C%22source_newsfeed_story_type%22%3A%22regular%22%2C%22action_history%22%3A%22[%7B%5C%22surface%5C%22%3A%5C%22newsfeed%5C%22%2C%5C%22mechanism%5C%22%3A%5C%22feed_story%5C%22%2C%5C%22extra_data%5C%22%3A[]%7D]%22%2C%22has_source%22%3Atrue%7D&amp;source=3&amp;source_newsfeed_story_type=regular&amp;action_history=[%7B%22surface%22%3A%22newsfeed%22%2C%22mechanism%22%3A%22feed_story%22%2C%22extra_data%22%3A[]%7D]&amp;has_source=1&amp;hc_ref=ARSRJXVkaQwvueNTiEBbu6TzE4jZQzBBPSCBYe8pnxoXSJ7NmXLud5s9RGO7AXg_uII\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-04-at-15.24.48-290x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13703\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Aristotle is going to be insufferable. For her new book, our Mistress has a book launch at Waterstone\u2019s bookshop in York. The shop has set up an events page on its Facebook page to give the details and the picture of our Mistress they have used has Aristotle on it as well.
