It\u2019s not fair, I want snow. Dad was telling us about the lovely blue skies and the beautiful white snow. He said he\u2019d been for a very enjoyable walk yesterday really appreciating my beloved Switzerland. For us \u2013 not so much. Mum described our weather as dank and drear. Even the sound of the words seemed to fit the mood of the day. It was the sort of weather that even though it wasn\u2019t actually raining meant you needed to be towelled dry when you came back in. At least tomorrow is the shortest day and we can look forward to more daylight again, even if it will take a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s going to be a quiet week. Mum says she\u2019s isolating from the world for the foreseeable future. From a dog point of view, that has more upsides than downsides. I ran through the most important questions such as \u2018will we still get our food delivered?\u2019 Once I\u2019d made sure I was happy with the answers I looked on the bright side. It means having her around all the time and what could be better than that? We\u2019ll make our own entertainment, we always do. It\u2019s not as though we\u2019ve been out and about very much in recent times. Most of the world could have disappeared and we\u2019d be none the wiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ari has been doing some training with Mum. You know what it\u2019s like, old dog, new tricks. Well, to keep him interested Mum bought some liver paste to use to encourage him. It turns out that if liver paste is on offer he\u2019s willing to learn to dance the foxtrot, never mind what Mum was actually asking him to do. She even caught him trying to get the tube from her desk. I\u2019m not sure how he planned to take the lid off, but knowing Ari he\u2019d have found a way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
