Ari has been asking if he\u2019ll be more energetic when the medication he is on has kicked in. Mum pointed out that for the nine or so years when he didn\u2019t have any problems with his heart he was as lazy as he is now, so it would be a bit of a surprise to everyone. Ari just grinned. It\u2019s not as though Shadow has ever been any different in her behaviour, with or without medication. She has always, well as long as I\u2019ve known her, been almost as crazy as me, just in different ways. She does a lot more sideways wiggling than I do. It can be quite impressive when she does it in mid-air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ari is working with Mum on natural insect repellents to go on the patio. To be honest, I think it\u2019s just an excuse for them to plant more herbs. She even bought him a new pot from the garden centre the other day so he can plant the lemon balm and sage in it. I think he just wants nice scents around when he\u2019s napping under the garden table on the patio. I\u2019m not complaining, I like the scents too. As a dog it\u2019s always good to have lots of different things to sniff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The box to go on the back of the front door to catch the post has arrived. Now I\u2019m wondering, given the long list of jobs waiting to be done, how long it will be before it goes up. My guess is that it will only take Shadow eating one important thing for it to be top of the priority list. It might be better to do it before it gets to that point really. It\u2019s only actually a risk of Mum goes out and she doesn\u2019t do that very often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
