We\u2019re all feeling hot hot hot. It\u2019s just too much. Ari has the coolest room and he\u2019s very happy about it. The problem is that Mum\u2019s office is not as cool and I want to be near her. Ari and I argue all the time when the weather is like this, which everyone is finding annoying. To be honest, I think I\u2019m a bit grouchy because of my diet. I\u2019m on day four of half rations of food. I get almost no extras. A treat consists of one extra piece of kibble. One! I am having some apples as you\u2019d expect, but even then it\u2019s been too hot to be outside other than first thing and last thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This diet really had better be working. I keep saying to Mum \u2018Have I lost it all yet?\u2019 She just laughs at me. She says if I\u2019m good and stick carefully to the plan then I can go to weigh myself on the scales at the vet the week after next. That\u2019s ages. She says she doesn\u2019t want me to go too soon and be disappointed that I haven\u2019t lost much. I\u2019ll have starved by then. Why is it that I\u2019m the only one who needs to go on a diet? There is no spare weight on Aristotle and he\u2019s the laziest dog I know. It\u2019s just not fair. Mum says life can be like that and I just have to learn to be sensible and not break open more sacks of dog food when she\u2019s not looking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re missing Dad. To be fair, Dad is missing us too. He really needs dogs in his life to look after him, so it\u2019s hard for him when we aren\u2019t there to keep an eye on him. I hope my sister and Mama can give him some licks and woofs on my behalf and take care of him until he can be back with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
