Well Shadow has good news. She had her scan and there is no change to her spleen. She will have another scan in 6 months but for the time being there is nothing to worry about and no action needed. We were all very pleased to hear that news. She was slightly less pleased to find she has some new ear drops to try as she hates having them applied. Hopefully this lot will stop her ears itching altogether and she can stop having them then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh I know what you\u2019re thinking. It\u2019s only October, why am I talking about Christmas? It\u2019s Mum. She started by briefly feeling very sorry for herself and saying Christmas would be cancelled this year. With hindsight, that might be the better option. Now she has changed her mind. She has concluded that as everyone will need cheering up she\u2019s going to make Christmas bigger than ever. Given that she\u2019s been known to start wearing Christmas jumpers from late November, I\u2019m a very worried dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well apart from the jumpers, she\u2019s ordered a mask with penguins wearing Santa hats. She is also planning to put up all our outdoor lights and put up all our decorations. She\u2019s found somewhere that can deliver a Christmas tree and has threatened us with Christmas carols being played on a repeat loop. I\u2019ve decided if you can\u2019t fight it, then the best thing to do is to shape it the way I\u2019d like it. I\u2019m pushing for log fires and sitting together on the settee watching Christmas movies. I may have to give in and wear my Christmas jumper too, but I\u2019m still refusing to wear my Santa hat. It feels so odd on my ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Actually, there is one really good bit about the plans. We won\u2019t be able to all meet in person for Christmas lunch but we\u2019re going to move our Alexa onto the dining table so that my grandparents can eat with us after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
