Too Hot<\/h2>\n\n\n

We were all too hot yesterday. Our Mistress was beating off thunder flies. Ari was asking to go back to where his crate is in the utility, because it\u2019s cooler in there. I just winged. Wilma seemed to be the only one not moaning. She doesn\u2019t seem to mind the changes in temperature. Our Mistress was in the office most of the day and eventually had the courage to open a window. You might wonder why it had taken that long! Wasps! We\u2019ve had a bit of a problem with wasps this year. We\u2019ve had three nests which have had to be got rid of, one of which was right outside the window above our Mistress\u2019s desk. If you opened the window \u2013 they swarmed! None of us were very keen on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predators for wasps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve even resorted to investigating what preys on wasps. Our Mistress has concluded that short of her getting some crocodiles or alligators we may be a little stuck. It may not surprise you to know we\u2019ve vetoed that suggestion. What she really wants to know is why all the wasps are picking our house to move into. What exactly are we doing wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food Delivery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In dog terms, today is one of those exciting days we look forward to. It\u2019s dog food delivery day. At least it is for me and Shadow. Wilma and Ari have a cupboard full of food as our Mistress made a mistake on the last order, thinking theirs was running low when it wasn\u2019t. Now however both mine and Shadow\u2019s food is running low and that\u2019s a very worrying time for a dog. Shadow has changed to a different food to me now. I prefer that as it means I don\u2019t have to worry someone else might be eating my food. Of course, if I did run out I would not be averse to eating her food or anyone else\u2019s for that matter. Our Mistress is saying that Aristotle is going to be moving to the food I\u2019m on soon and that does worry me! He will be joining me and Shadow in the senior category on his next birthday, which is a worrying thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, have a great day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
