The sort when the best laid plans of dog and human just don\u2019t quite go to plan. It started with Mum\u2019s computer crashing. There is little more likely to cause a worried frown on Mum\u2019s face than that happening. I won\u2019t bore you with the details, but she\u2019s having to do some upgrades which is slowing everything down. Then today\u2019s delivery arrived yesterday, which would have been fine if she hadn\u2019t got to take Aristotle and Shadow to the vet. Oh, it was just like that all day. I won\u2019t bore you. It was the sort of day when staying out of her way was by far the best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shadow and Aristotle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow went for her routine vaccinations and Ari had to have his kennel cough vaccination and have his heart checked. Most importantly, they behaved better than I do when I have to have a spray pushed up my nose. I\u2019ve never worked out why you\u2019d stick around for something like that. Apparently, the choice is not ours. On a brighter note, there is no change to Ari\u2019s heart murmur. It is just a level one, maybe a little easier to hear but nothing much. Given he is clinically lazy we aren\u2019t too worried about it. It\u2019s not going to stop him doing anything he wanted to do \u2013 he didn\u2019t want to do anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to prove the point. This is how long it can take Aristotle to decide to come when called. You can see him thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How long is it ok to wait before coming when called?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qXjpNxy-cfg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some excitement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the exciting front, once the delivery comes out of quarantine we will have the new duvet. That is going to save so many arguments between Mum and me. She swears I pull it over to my side of the bed in the night. Funnily enough she makes the same complaint to Dad so I\u2019m thinking she is probably the problem here. Although why she would move it all over to my side and leave herself cold, I really don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Wilma says it really was that sort of a day yesterday &#8211; but at least it gave her one thing to look forward to and it wasn&#8217;t her going to the vet. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20842,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[63,27],"class_list":["post-20841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","tag-aristotle","tag-shadow","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
