I\u2019m twiddling my paws today because swimming has been cancelled. It\u2019s funny, I never thought I\u2019d say this but I miss it. Ah well, I\u2019ll be back there next week. In the meantime, I\u2019m having a bit of a hair loss issue. It\u2019s not something I like to talk about as I\u2019m worrying I\u2019m going to end up with some bald patches. Our Mistress says that worrying will only make matters worse and when she next goes into the vet she is going to ask if it may be related to my medication. It started with what seemed like a normal shed and just carried on. It\u2019s been more like the way Shadow used to lose her coat in handfuls before her season started, but it\u2019s been going on for several weeks now and I\u2019m definitely not coming into season. Maybe I\u2019m going through the male menopause, but it seems a bit late for that I should have had a mid-life crisis long ago. Besides in dogs I suppose it would be the menopaws!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Mistress won\u2019t stop talking about Paddington. It seems that she is not content with the number of non-humans in the house and wants to adopt a bear too. I\u2019m happy as long as it is either an additional family member or in place of Aristotle or Shadow. I couldn\u2019t possibly consider swapping Wilma even for something as cute as a real bear. Funnily enough our Master, despite enjoying the film, is simply rolling his eyes at her. I guess he has known her for a long time. You can tell how old they are when our Mistress comes out with things like she grew up reading the original Paddington books long before it was even on television never mind at the cinema. I find that long ago quite hard to imagine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
