We have another broken gate. Now, given that Wilma normally just jumps over the dog gates you\u2019d think that she wouldn\u2019t both breaking them. Of course, you\u2019d be wrong. Before Wilma moved in the rest of us broke precisely no dog gates. The opening on one of them stopped working, but that was attributed to one of the humans and not to us dogs. Wilma has now used brute force to remove the upright from two gates in the two and a half years she has lived in the house. It\u2019s actually the replacement for the gate she broke last time that she has broken this time! Our Mistress sighed very deeply and told her it will have to come out of her pocket money. Wilma was unabashed. The last gate only lasted for about sixteen months, so it\u2019s not promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Mistress has taken drastic action. I\u2019ve had to have my antiobiotics extended as I\u2019ve still got an unpleasant little infection. Anyway, that\u2019s not the worst of it. Our Mistress has taken all my bedding and given it a thorough wash to try to make sure everything around me is clean. What is she thinking? What dog wants a clean bed? I pride myself on the layer of dirt I\u2019ve built up over time. I do understand there are times my things need to be washed, but in my book, this was not one of them. Isn\u2019t it bad enough that I have to go back to the vet on Monday? My dignity is being invaded in every direction. What is a dog to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are going to miss our Master being home, if only because the amount of steak being eaten in the house will decrease. He says it\u2019s one of the things he misses most when he\u2019s away, so we\u2019ve been making up for it. He only tends to spoil Shadow but our Mistress tries to make sure the rest of us aren\u2019t left out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a great Saturday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
