It\u2019s Aristotle here and I really don\u2019t know where to start. How about if I go for the sympathy bid first and we take it from there? I think I\u2019ve pulled a muscle in my leg. It\u2019s not hurting really badly, not so much as to make me cry out, but I am limping and I think I\u2019m being taken to see our lovely vet so that I can have some anti-inflammatories to help it. Alfie was much better after he had some and my leg has flared up a couple of times. Is that enough to get you all on my side before I tell you about my week?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been the little areas of mischief, like having fun trying to melt all the snow one pee at a time, including places in the garden I\u2019m not supposed to pee like the patio. But then there are the bigger areas of mischief for which I am not in the good books. It was breaking the camera tripod that capped it all. I wasn\u2019t entirely to blame. I was playing chase in the office with Alfie at the time and I know we\u2019ve been told that we should save that for outside, but if two dogs can\u2019t run figures of eight around two desks that have been strategically placed then what can they do? I needed to catch my breath because Alfie was gaining on me. He\u2019s got the speed but I can still fit in places he can\u2019t. As it turns out I can\u2019t fit quite as well as I used to and so when I ran between the legs of the camera tripod I brought the whole lot crashing down and the bit that holds the camera has been severed from the rest of the tripod. My Mistress was not best pleased, particularly as she has been doing much more photography and needs the tripod to use her telephoto lens. I\u2019ve asked my Master if he could try to glue it all back together but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s promising.<\/p>\n\n\n

Then of course there is the extra gardening I\u2019ve been doing. I\u2019d just been caught red-pawed. I do like the remnants of the carnation plants and as I explained my Mistress was going to have to plant some more for next year anyway, so what was the problem? I do admit I have left them in a bit of a mess and I may have been chewing the branches of the trees again as well, but I\u2019m hoping if we are going to move house that it won\u2019t be too much of an issue. Do you think when we move we could have a more mature garden so that I can do less immediate damage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
