I know I have to own up sooner or later to buying the stroller for Aristotle, but I was working on later. Except \u2013 it\u2019s arrived and the box is quite big\u2026and heavy\u2026and I need help building it. To be honest I need help getting it out of the box, before I even get to the \"\"<\/a>bit with the instructions that don\u2019t make any sense. I think this may be the point where I have to hold up my paw and admit to what I\u2019ve done. We all love little Ari, it\u2019s bound to be all right\u2026isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

My main job at the moment is to cheer my Mistress up. She hasn\u2019t really been very well recently and she has got to the point where she is completely fed up with it. She was supposed to be going out last night and had been looking forward to it for nearly a year, but wasn\u2019t well enough to go. She\u2019s feeling a bit sorry for herself. That\u2019s where I really come into my own. I do a very good line in consolation. I am very snuggly and completely undemanding. I\u2019m more than happy to lie snuggled up doing nothing for hours at a time and in fairness Aristotle is getting the hand of that one too. Megan and Shadow aren\u2019t so good at sitting still, but we can do it for hours, taking lying doggo to a whole new level. In any case, seeing as the weather has quite definitely gone back to being gloomy, what\u2019s the point in bothering to get up anyway? That\u2019s the great thing with computers. My Mistress can sit and talk to people, work, see what\u2019s going on and never has to leave the house, or get dressed. Of course if she takes the girls out for a walk and hasn\u2019t got dressed people might ask a few questions, but she hasn\u2019t tried that yet.<\/p>\n
