Unhappy dog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aristotle is an unhappy dog. Now I shouldn\u2019t laugh, but I\u2019m going to anyway. You know he was on a promise of a turkey dinner yesterday. Well he didn\u2019t get it. When Mum came to put the turkey in she found it had not fully defrosted and concluded that it was going to take another day before it was safe to cook. You should have seen the look on Ari\u2019s face when she told him. It was priceless. He offered to eat the turkey raw, but Mum would not countenance his suggestion. Now he is claiming that today he is definitely not only going to help with the cooking, but is asking for a double portion as compensation. Knowing Ari, he will succeed. He always does! He finds some loophole to use to support his argument and wins every time. It\u2019s never worth arguing with Ari. You just won\u2019t win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying Positive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mum is finding lots of ways to stay positive so that she doesn\u2019t miss Dad too much. For me that would mean going for a long walk. For her, sadly it seems to mean cleaning the house and getting everywhere spotless. She\u2019s got a long list of diy jobs to get on with as well as lots of real work. I\u2019m ready for action in whatever form it\u2019s going to take. Being honest, I don\u2019t go a bundle on cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readjusting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re all back to having to readjust to Dad not being around. We always have a few days of playing up. Shadow is fed up as she really feels he\u2019s her human and without him here she doesn\u2019t get to feel so special. Mum\u2019s doing her best to cheer Shadow up, but it\u2019s true, no one gives bottom scratches like Dad does. Mum tries, but she just hasn\u2019t got the same knack. You\u2019ve either got it or you haven\u2019t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
