Carrot Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Carrot Day today. Mum says we can\u2019t go for an imaginary day out as we need to plant the carrot seeds. It\u2019s very exciting for me getting to learn what to do as this is usually one of Aristotle\u2019s jobs. Mum said he could still do it today if he promised not to chase any pigeons while he was out there. This is where being honest was not in his interests. He said he really couldn\u2019t keep a promise like that, so he\u2019s spending the day resting indoors. I on the other paw carefully crossed my claws where she couldn\u2019t see and promised not to chew any sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doesn’t Aristotle have a lovely smile?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Talking of Pigeons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There have been a pair of pigeons mating outside our office window for days. I don\u2019t know whether to be fascinated or appalled. She really does lead him a merry dance. The Dad disturbed another pair of birds on the fence. They seem to be at it everywhere at the moment without any thought to social distancing! We could be set for a sudden increase in the bird population very soon, although the magpies might have other ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Excited<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are all getting excited because it\u2019s only a week now until Lia\u2019s puppies are due to be born. She\u2019s doing well. Her housemate, Annie, says she doesn\u2019t think Lia really has a clue what all the fuss is about. Annie had puppies a few years ago so she\u2019s got a pretty good idea. She says she\u2019s on standby to help. Their other housemate is Billy and he\u2019s quite ready to go into hiding until it\u2019s all over. I shall try to bring you news when it all happens. I\u2019ll ask Annie if she can take some pictures for us so you can all see. We will be very eager to find out how many there are and what they\u2019re going to be called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
