I\u2019m writing this from the discomfort of Ari\u2019s crate. Ok, discomfort is too strong a word, he\u2019s spoilt, but the point is I don\u2019t have a crate. I don\u2019t need a crate. I can be trusted. I have free run of the house. However, I also beat up Amigo and argue with him at every opportunity. So we\u2019ve been broken up. I said he could go elsewhere, but apparently it\u2019s my behaviour that was out of order. Can you believe that? Sweet innocent, butter wouldn\u2019t melt in my mouth, me! I know my Mistress was busy yesterday with the business launch and she did not have time to keep breaking up feuding dogs. It didn\u2019t help that Shadow has decided to be protective of her sons and turns on me at a moments\u2019 notice. Today I have to be a good boy \u2013 otherwise it\u2019s back in the crate.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the launch went really well. Sales stated and everyone seemed very happy with the progress. It means my Mistress was in a good mood, which was only partly marred by having to wrestle each of us in turn as we are sharing conjunctivitis between us. I can honestly say that wrestling 30kg of squirming dog that doesn\u2019t want cream in his eyes is no mean feat. I was only marginally less uncooperative when I was told there was marzipan available if I was a good boy. Amigo\u2019s eyes were so sore that he said he\u2019d stay still even without the marzipan and Ari tried to retreat into the washing machine, but still failed to get away. We have to have the stuff twice a day for seven days \u2013 that\u2019s going to be an awful lot of marzipan in bribes! Either that or Aristotle is going to find himself going through the spin cycle!<\/p>\n
