Today we\u2019re all off to day care. Well, when I say \u2018all\u2019, that\u2019s\njust the dogs of the house you understand. Our Mistress is going to visit Grandpa\nso we need to be looked after. I\u2019d quite like to go with her, but I\u2019m getting\nincreasingly confused. I think I\u2019d probably be ok on the journey and I might\ncope when we got there, but if we had to stop on route it could get difficult.\nAt least at the kennels I feel safe and happy. Wilma positively loves the\nchance to play with other dogs, so she\u2019s not too worried as it\u2019s only a day.\nMuch longer than that and both she and our Mistress get the jitters without\neach other. Shadow tends to just put on her indignant face and gives our\nMistress \u2018the look\u2019. I have to say that no one does indignant quite like\nShadow. You only have to ask her to be in the other room for five minutes and\nshe adopts \u2018the look\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aristotle\u2019s new bigger exercise ball has arrived. The problem\nnow is that, like the first one, it needs blowing up. Of course, being a bigger\nball it\u2019s going to take even more blowing up than the first ball. He has even\noffered to try blowing it up himself as he\u2019s so excited about continuing his\ntraining for Treibball. Our Mistress has concluded that he learns even faster\nthan Wilma and that\u2019s saying something. I\u2019m guessing the two of them will get a\nbit competitive between them which will probably help. Now they need our\nMistress to buy them a goal as well, so they\u2019ve got somewhere to move the balls\ninto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve followed this blog for a long time, you\u2019ll already\nbe aware of the annual counting of the rose blooms. This year, our Mistress has\nput in some extra rose bushes so I asked if she was going to be counting those\nas well. She looked at me as though I was stupid. She pointed out that if she\nincreased the number of bushes she counted then it wouldn\u2019t be comparable. Duh!\nI\u2019d worked that out, but as the whole thing is pointless, then I didn\u2019t think\nit mattered. Anyway, it\u2019s just one area of roses that will be counted to see if\nthey can beat the previous record. I\u2019m just going to leave her to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a good Thursday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
