Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Mistress, happy birthday to you.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m trying to cheer her up as she\u2019s feeling a bit on the old side. I did point out that in dog years I\u2019m catching her up rather faster than is enjoyable but that didn\u2019t seem to do it. She sat in bed opening her cards and presents with me on one side of her and Megan on the other. We were both making a fuss of her. Shadow doesn\u2019t get much of a look in when we are both around. Anyway, she is looking forward to getting dressed up as Xena Warrior Princess tonight and going to a party with Batman. We will also be dressing up in the lovely scarves that were bought for us as a present from Switzerland. They are really very smart and I think we\u2019ll be having a photo wearing them.<\/p>\n
It seems funny to think the summer holidays are nearly over and we will be going back to a more normal routine. It\u2019s probably a good job as we\u2019ve got to the point of forgetting which day is which and my Mistress getting a bit confused. It doesn\u2019t really matter to us most of the time, but every so often there are things we have to remember. We do have a weekly chalk board on the fridge but even that hasn\u2019t been kept up to date over the summer. I think My Mistress is planning to start doing things like that tomorrow \u2013once her birthday is out of the way. She\u2019s going to make some ice cream for James too. She asked what his favourite flavour was and he asked for mint choc chip so that is what is happening. I asked if I could help but my Mistress has explained it wouldn\u2019t be a good idea as I can\u2019t have chocolate. She may have a point. I do have a habit of licking my paws.<\/p>\n
