February managed to blow itself away, judging by the strong winds we had yesterday. If it wasn\u2019t nailed down, it fell down, or blew over at any rate. The garden bench rearranged itself into a \u2018legs in the air position\u2019, and the little tree that was at an odd angle, in the land behind our house, is now at an even odder angle!<\/p>\n
My mistress is now operating a \u2018just in time\u2019 restocking process for my food. Except is was nearly a \u2018not quite in time\u2019 system. She ordered some from the local kennels but that won\u2019t be in until Monday, so she hoped what I had would last until then. It became clear on Thursday that there might be enough for Friday but not longer than that. I said it was ok by me, I was quite happy to eat steak on Saturday and Sunday and would, at a push, manage without my dog food. Instead of that she tasked my Master with going to the pet shop that he would be quite near and buying a sack from there. Just one small problem, my master got called to an emergency and had to fly elsewhere. \u201cWhat about my food?\u201d I asked. I really thought I was onto the steak option by this time. \u201cCan I have it cooked \u2018medium\u2019 with some fries and maybe some sauce?\u201d Would you believe, instead of acquiescing to my very reasonable demands, my Mistress spent an hour driving to a pet shop to buy some of my food. I said it would have been cheaper to give me steak but she said there was a principle involved. Damn principles, that\u2019s what I say. They can get in the way of the important things in life, don\u2019t you think? I did get a bit of her pork chop to make up for my disappointment, so I can\u2019t complain too much.<\/p>\n
