Now, I know you are going to tell me I shouldn\u2019t have been arguing with Megan in the first place and you are probably right, but I twisted awkwardly and seem to have trapped a nerve again. I\u2019m back on medication and feeling very sorry for myself. What with me in pain and not wanting to move and Ari still limping we make a great pack. The vet was giving me an update on Aristotle\u2019s leg. She was telling me what was unlikely and saying if he were a \u2018stoic\u2019 dog he wouldn\u2019t make a fuss if it were one of the possibilities she mentioned. I was being very attentive and then when she said that we didn\u2019t seem to be a particularly stoic breed I gasped. How can she say that? We are fearless. We were bred to take care of the herds. We climbed mountains. Admittedly we aren\u2019t overly good at being in pain and I did limp into the surgery hamming it up for sympathy, but what a thing to say to a dog. Anyway, with Ari we need to monitor how he goes for the next couple of weeks and then we have a joint appointment to see how we are doing. He is only allowed light exercise in the garden with me for that time and I wasn\u2019t planning on doing a great deal it should be very light!<\/p>\n
With the weather starting to feel like spring, my Mistress is threatening to do some gardening at the weekend and possibly even continue with our summerhouse project. It would be very exciting to get that finished. We still don\u2019t know if we will end up moving as a result of my Master\u2019s job but we can\u2019t stop doing things in the meantime \u2013 which means the summerhouse project is back on. Anyone out there any good at DIY and want to lend a hand or a paw?<\/p>\n
