Chaos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our house can best be described as chaos. I\u2019ll be honest, I may have picked up a few bad habits in kennels and Mum\u2019s patience may be a little thin on the ground at the moment. Ari and I have spent Christmas winding each other up and playing the \u2018Who can bark first when they hear a noise\u2019 game. I think I won most of the time, if you\u2019re interested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, now we\u2019re home, Mum is not expecting us to play that game. I\u2019m not to bark if her phone pings. I\u2019m not to bark if I hear Dad coming downstairs. I may have been a little slow at picking up that she wasn\u2019t happy\u2026 until she exploded and that was not a pretty sight. Mum reminded me of our \u2018game\u2019. Mum will send me out of the room if I bark. Well, I spent quite a bit of time in the hall before I accepted her rules, I can tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alfie and me<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shadow and Aristotle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shadow cannot see why she has to babysit Aristotle. Aristotle is an adult. He’s eight years old, even if he is her son. Aristotle is one of life\u2019s perpetual puppies. He in his turn said if he had to sit with his mother his terms were at the very least some beef jerky and not the biscuit which was being offered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mum is trying some pants for Alfie. The ones we managed to get\nyesterday are according to the box, the right size. We can only think their\ndefinition of both centimetres and kilograms are very different to ours. Poor\nAlfie, he was very unhappy as they didn\u2019t fit him at all. We\u2019re trying some\ndifferent ones which we are hoping will arrive today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m promising to be better behaved today. I\u2019m doing a meet and\ngreet this afternoon and I\u2019m looking forward to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, it\u2019s great to be back<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
