Yesterday for his birthday Ari was spoilt. I was not! Diet\u2019s should be suspended for birthdays, even if it isn\u2019t your own birthday. Sadly, Mum didn\u2019t see it the same way. Ari had a little ham with his breakfast and a little more later in the day. All I could do was watch. I spent some time outside with him eating apples, but that wasn\u2019t the point as I can do that any day. We didn\u2019t have steak, so at least being positive I wasn\u2019t left out of that. Mind you, even Ari complained when he heard one of his sisters was eating ice cream and he hadn\u2019t been given one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highlight of the day for me was something completely different. A large grey fluffy cat decided to sit under one of the trees in our garden. Mum thought I hadn\u2019t spotted it and ushered me inside. I of course was just playing the game and as soon as Mum thought I was safe I nipped back outside to chase it. She had been very surprised by the audacity of the cat to sit in the garden and said she was expecting me to come back with a bloody nose. I\u2019m not that stupid \u2013 actually, I probably am but I didn\u2019t get close enough to it for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We dogs didn\u2019t watch the Queen\u2019s funeral, although I spared a thought for the Corgis. What we did notice was just how quiet it was outside when there is no distant traffic noise anywhere. All we could hear were the birds singing and it was really rather nice to be outside when it was like that. Humans do make an awful lot of noise. Mum did say we were not to bark at all during the funeral as she didn\u2019t want any neighbours upset by us. It was hard, but we managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
