I\u2019ve been dragging my paws about the possibility of being weighed. Now I\u2019m running out of excuses. It\u2019s time for my annual vaccinations, which means I need to set paw inside the vet surgery whether I like it or not \u2013 and frankly I don\u2019t. I hate vaccinations never mind the possibility of being weighed. It normally takes several people to hold me down to give me my kennel cough vaccine up my nose. Mum is also booking me in for an up to date heart scan. Why now? At least Aristotle had his underneath shaved at the start of the summer and not when the weather was turning colder. I might need this fur if it\u2019s cold. Anyway, whichever way I look at it we\u2019re going to find out soon whether I have lost any weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wish it was me going swimming today instead of Aristotle. The exercise would help with the weight loss and Ari doesn\u2019t need to lose any. Mum says that\u2019s not why he\u2019s going. He needs to build up the muscles in his back legs. It\u2019s not fair, Mum says even though swimming is such good exercise, she won\u2019t be taking me. Mind you, Mum has been forgetting to fill the car up with fuel, so Ari might find his exercise is pushing the car rather than swimming. I don\u2019t mind missing out on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking at the weather forecast, today is going to be the last sunny day for a while. Mum says I shouldn\u2019t worry and it could well change. I said we should all spend the whole day outside just to be on the safe side and make the most of it. Even though she agreed I had a good point, I don\u2019t think she\u2019s planning to do that. She says she will do the last mowing that\u2019s needed before Sunday, but that\u2019s actually bad news from my point of view as it means she will be raking up all the fallen apples again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
