Thank you to all our loyal readers for being with us throughout the year. It has been an exciting year with a fair amount of trauma. It has had emotional highs and lows and for me has had the best present of all in a puppy of my own. I know I wasn\u2019t sure about Ari at the start, but it\u2019s kind of cool to have my own pet and you have to admit he\u2019s cute. In the few short weeks we have been together we have started to share everything. He makes me feel year\u2019s younger and I count myself a very lucky dog. I will even give up my chew for him and that is really saying something. I won\u2019t give a chew to just anyone.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m in charge today, which probably means something will go wrong. My Mistress has gone to have her hair cut and just to be difficult that involves going all the way to Birmingham. I\u2019m left here to look after my Master, Andy, Megan, Shadow and Ari. It\u2019s a tough job but someone had to take on the mantle of responsibility. To be fair, most it involves looking after Ari which is a full time job in itself. He\u2019s gone off eating at lunchtime, which to be honest is a shame as I enjoyed the extras. We\u2019re all now on 2 meals a day, but different food according to our size and age. I said to my Mistress that it would be easier when Ari and I are on the same food, but that won\u2019t happen for very long as a I will move onto the \u2018senior\u2019 food. I said I would only do that if I was issued a free bus pass at the same time. At least as I enter my older years I will have a young dog around to bring me my slippers and keep me entertained.<\/p>\n

This is my 'don't mess with me' look.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019m going to spend my afternoon setting new year\u2019s resolutions with Ari and the girls. I\u2019ll tell you what we\u2019ve all decided tomorrow. Although I think I can give you a sneak preview and say I\u2019m resolving to shed the extra pounds I\u2019ve put on over Christmas!<\/p>\n
