I did like this from 2009 when\nShadow was still a young puppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Cuddles<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It hasn\u2019t been an exciting weekend at this end. Not unless\nyou include our first group cuddle in bed. Shadow can now climb onto my Master\nand Mistress\u2019s bed and if she\u2019ll sit still for long enough, we can all have a\nnice cuddle. If she doesn\u2019t sit still, there are paws everywhere and we take it\nin turns to be injured by her flailing limbs. The funniest bits are the times\nthat she falls off the bed, because she hasn\u2019t kept an eye on where it ends and\nthe floor starts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh dear I think in 2010 I might have had more sense than any\nof them if I\u2019d been there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Gardening<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I don\u2019t know which of us could more easily be accused of\nbeing mad. My Mistress went out in the rain yesterday to start digging out the\nplot for her herb garden. This involves digging up a large amount of turf and\nthen digging over the bed and making it into a reasonable garden. She said that\nworking in the rain was not as tiring as working in heat, although even then\nshe only got about five feet of the length she wanted to do dug out. I on the\nother hand was probably even closer to mad as I sat by the gate watching her. I\nhate it when she is out at the front and I can\u2019t be with her. The least I can\ndo is keep a watchful eye to make sure she is ok on her own. Shadow sat next to\nme to keep me company so by the time we came in we all needed to dry off. My\nMistress pointed out to me that another time I would be better sitting on the\nother corner of the gate under the trees where there is some protection from\nthe rain. I think she may have a point.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh dear this day in 2012 wasn\u2019t so good<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Megan not Pregnant<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Well it turns out that Megan is exactly as pregnant as I am! And that is not a good thing as I\u2019m a neutered male. It\u2019s all very strange. She went for her scan and as far as can be seen there are no puppies. However, both she and Aristotle are still convinced that she is pregnant. She wants more food. She wants to put her feet up, wants to eat more and she gets tired more easily. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Aristotle is dealing with it on a more basic level. He feels the need to cover her scent and if my Mistress leaves Megan\u2019s crate door open, he goes in her crate and pees everywhere. He says he has no idea why he has the need to do that. It\u2019s just a deep seated need to make sure no one else can smell that Megan has been there. It\u2019s his way of protecting her. I suggested he learnt to lock and bolt the front door instead as being a rather more useful means of protection when you live with humans.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it from me for today. Have a lovely Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Friday Flashback It\u2019s Friday Flashback again.
