Now, I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re like, but we all react to wind. I don\u2019t mind those indelicate times when we\u2019re eaten something that leaves our digestion in a bit of a state, I mean the weather. One dog on a windy day is unsettled. Four dogs on a windy day, according to our human, are a bit of a pain. I don\u2019t think they were her exact words, but that was the general gist. Shadow likes to sit in the room at the front of the house which is west facing. The direction is important as that is where the prevailing wind comes from and we\u2019re at the top of the hill. When I say \u2018hill\u2019 I wouldn\u2019t like you to get the wrong idea. This is relative and compared to my family in Switzerland this barely counts as an incline, but it\u2019s still the highest point for some distance. On the bright side, there are some good views. However, on the downside there is also some good wind! Shadow spent much of the day barking and howling at the wind. She relays her thoughts to me in the kitchen and I bark them through to the office. If our Mistress is really lucky then at that point both Wilma and Aristotle join in and send their messages back to Shadow in the snug, via my additions in the kitchen. This can go on for hours! And yesterday it did. Our Mistress is now desperately hoping for some calmer weather so her sanity can be restored. If that happens of course, we may have to look for a different excuse. There\u2019s a neighbourhood cat who waves to Shadow, that\u2019s usually good for at least ten minutes of barking. Our Mistress did ask us if it was possible for a dog to lost its voice. Judging by Shadow it probably isn\u2019t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
