Well round one had gone to the squirrels. Mum has now set her camera up on the tripod so it is in exactly the right position. The weather has improved so she is now happy to sit outside for extended periods of time. But for the occasional wasp, she is content to sit absolutely still. She has put nuts out for the squirrels. The squirrels have been and taken the nuts. Sadly the different events have not coincided. The squirrels have only taken the nuts when Mum wasn\u2019t outside with the camera trained on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only photos she actually managed to get were one of Dad, who really doesn\u2019t move all that much at the best of times. One of the pigeon, who I think has now eaten too much bird seed to move very far or very fast, and one of the bird ornament on the summerhouse roof. Dad said he\u2019d worry if that one had flown away before she\u2019d taken it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A worrying trend seems to have developed. The cheesecake Mum made proved so popular that she now plans to make another. So far, of the three of us dogs, only Aristotle has been able to try any. Shadow has been told that unfortunately it really wouldn\u2019t be good for her. I have simply not been in the right place at the right time. Ari, on the other paw, has now had a small amount from Mum\u2019s finger twice! It\u2019s favouritism. He said he really liked it. I\u2019d just like the opportunity to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m torn between encouraging the trend and pointing out to Mum that if she keeps eating she won\u2019t do herself any good. Oh, who am I kidding? I just want to try the cheesecake as any self-respecting dog would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
