Silly Boy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ari is such a silly boy. Yesterday Mum set aside some time for him to spend with her completely undisturbed. I had gone to day care to play with some of my friends and Shadow said she was happy to have a quiet nap on her own. Anyway, after twenty minutes or so, Mum couldn\u2019t see where Aristotle was. She looked around the office and in the places he normally sits. She looked out of the window. There was absolutely no sign of Aristotle. Then Mum had an idea and went through to where his crate has been for the last few weeks. There he was, curled up in his crate taking forty winks, even though he didn\u2019t need to be there and there were actual beds and settees nearer to Mum. He really is a creature of habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waving Dad Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have to wave Dad off again today. He is going back to my beloved Switzerland. I\u2019ve told him to take my love to my sister and the puppies. I\u2019m really hoping he\u2019ll go and see them soon and send me some photos. We\u2019re all going to miss him, Mum more than the rest of us and that\u2019s saying something. Shadow thinks she has the most to complain about, but then she always does. At least Mum can bring Shadow\u2019s bed back to our room so I don\u2019t have to share mine anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Squirrel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems that getting the squirrel feeder in place can\u2019t come soon enough. The squirrel is not content with the peanuts she\u2019s been munching her way through. There were two holes in the lawn yesterday and some empty acorn husks. Clearly she found where she hid some snacks last year and dug them up again. Mum says that peanuts aren\u2019t all that nutritious for her so it is understandable. We\u2019re going to get some special squirrel food for her new table and hopefully put it up this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
