Aristotle is having his stitches out this morning. Mum has been counting the hours down, never mind Aristotle. After his attempt to do it himself she\u2019s been really worried. Hopefully he can leave the cone off then too. Mum is going to talk to the vet about the dressings he\u2019s eaten too, but may look at feeding him carrots to see what happens. Ari has asked if he can have steak to go with the carrots but Mum says that would be a waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He will still only be able to do a little exercise in the garden for the next few weeks, so he\u2019s got a long way to go on his recovery. He isn\u2019t even allowed off lead in the garden for a while, so I shall have to keep doing the gardening until he can take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum saw a picture of one of my friends playing with his boomer ball in a really good paddling pool. I\u2019ve got a little paddling pool but it isn\u2019t really very big. Anyway, I used the whole puppy dog eyes thing and asked very nicely if I could have one and she\u2019s ordered it. She\u2019s even ordered me a boomer ball to play with too. I think Shadow might like to have a go too, so we can share it. Now we just need the weather to warm again so that Mum will come out to join us. I do hope it\u2019s delivered soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum has gone into planning mode. Dad has to go back to Switzerland. None of us wants him to go, but he has to. He will go in three weeks, which is going to be really sad. Mum is busy allocating jobs to us all for when he\u2019s gone so we don\u2019t get too down. I think she says I can help with some decorating. Shadow is excited as her room is one of the ones that Mum is going to decorate and Mum has said Shadow can choose the colour scheme. Goodness knows what will happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
