Yesterday was exhausting just watching the garden. It turned out it had just been waiting for some rain so it could burst into life. Every time I left my spot by the window more leaves appeared on the trees and more blossom. Mum went out to the front of the house and quite suddenly the wisteria had come out. The squirrels must have decided spring was well and truly here too as they were running all over the garden and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. I do hope when we move we will have a nice garden so I can carry on chasing squirrels. I did suggest to Mum that we could take them with us, but she doesn\u2019t think we\u2019re allowed to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully Shadow\u2019s lost voice is nothing more than overuse. That will teach her to spend so much of her time barking. You would think it was quiet around here while she recovers, but it\u2019s amazing how much noise she can still make and she does sound very pitiful. Ari went to the vet for a follow up blood test too. Now we\u2019re waiting for his results. He\u2019s feeling very pleased with himself as the vet said he\u2019s lost some weight. I told him to go away. Why does he find it easy to lose weight and I don\u2019t?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am a little worried. Mum is planning to put some of our spare things into store so the house is not so cluttered. I didn\u2019t think anything of it until she said, \u201cYou\u2019re not really using that bed, Wilma, I think that can go.\u201d I know I cannot sleep in all my dog beds at once, but does she not realise how attached to them I feel? You can\u2019t just be parted from them at a moment\u2019s notice. I\u2019m going to have to have a serious word with her and see if we can come to an arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
