Aristotle\u2019s Friday Flashback doesn\u2019t have the same ring to it as Wilma\u2019s but she wanted the day off so here I am. I wasn\u2019t that surprised she was tired when I saw how far she\u2019d walked on Wednesday. It wasn\u2019t just the distance she said, but it was SO busy. When you live in a village with eighty houses that number of people are quite hard to imagine. Anyway, I couldn\u2019t have coped with all the pavements never mind the noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2011 \u2013 this is from when I was little and is about me so I thought I\u2019d share it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is funny is that my Mistress is trying to get them to toilet on newspaper rather than the vet bed \u2013 she is fed up of the amount of washing. They have got used to using one particular area so in that area she has put newspaper instead of vet bed. So they can tell the difference she has used the Financial Times which is printed on a pinky coloured newsprint rather than white. I just think we are going to end up with highly educated puppies who understand the financial markets and don\u2019t know where to go to the toilet!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Adrienne and Aristotle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Adrienne was back to being the smallest yesterday. She was only just behind her best friend Aristotle. They really are lovely together. They have very similar dogalities. They are both quiet and calm and don\u2019t take part in the rougher play. They are both very loving and like nothing more than to snuggle up to my Mistress when I let her. I don\u2019t feel as threatened by Adrienne as I do by Aristotle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m one of those highly educated puppies, but I do actually know where to go to the toilet too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I found this from when Alfie was much younger and it made me smile. It\u2019s easy to forget he\u2019s been through all the same things the rest of us have had to face but just did it before us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2007<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I didn\u2019t tell you about my trip to the vet was that the lady took my temperature. I sat with my mouth open wide ready for the thermometer and got a bit of a shock as she stuck it somewhere else. Was that really necessary? Did she think I wouldn\u2019t cooperate? What about my rights? I have been violated. After all that, my temperature was normal. You would think it should have been at least a little bit odd to justify such action. At least the tablets I was given aren\u2019t too bad, once my mistress had realised I wasn\u2019t going to swallow them whole and broke them up and put them in my bowl. On a personal note the vet has told me I am a little overweight. In itself that didn\u2019t seem too bad. It was when I got home that I realised the implications, my food ration has been cut and I have been made to cut out junk food. No more crisps or Frosties for me it seems. Hopefully, when I lose half a kilo some of the treats will come back.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I\u2019m going to saunter round the garden and see if there is any mischief waiting for me. Have a lovely Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
