The apple harvest continues. The good news is that there are far more apples than Dad is going to be able to collect. Of course, where there\u2019s good news, there\u2019s always bad news. The bad news is that the weather is horrible and Mum refuses point blank to let us bring rotten apples into the house to eat. Ari and I have been challenging each other as to who wants to stay out in the wind and the rain longest to eat apples. He is winning paws down. Sometimes I think he is oblivious to the miserable weather. Mind you, I suppose he doesn\u2019t cope with cold so he probably sees this as an advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday, old goody four paws went to the vet for his annual vaccinations and health check. He was as good as gold according to Mum. \u201cWhy can\u2019t you be more like Aristotle, Wilma?\u201d I muttered under my breath that it was because I was me and I wasn\u2019t likely to change. They didn\u2019t look any further into the problem with his eye. He\u2019ll be going back for that in a couple of weeks. However, they checked his claws and trimmed the ones which were a little long. He simply stood there and let them lift each leg without making a single noise. At times, I really don\u2019t think he is an Entlebucher at heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today\u2019s forecast is \u2018loud in places\u2019. Mum says there are going to be a number of deliveries and you know what we\u2019re like. We make a lot of noise when the doorbell rings the first time. After that if it rings again soon after it\u2019s a free for all. Ari will take up position by the door and we\u2019ll act as an early warning system. Even Shadow gets involved when she sees us, although she will have absolutely no idea what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
