Megan\u2019s paw just isn\u2019t improving so she has been back to see the vet. Now she has to have an x-ray on it next Tuesday. She does her best to rest it and then as soon as she starts using it again she starts limping. It doesn\u2019t look right either, so there\u2019s definitely something wrong. Poor Megan it means she gets less food too so that she doesn\u2019t start piling on the weight and she\u2019s pretty fed up all round.<\/p>\n
Shadow\u2019s season hasn\u2019t started yet. It could start any time now and when it does she has to pack her bag and head off to Switzerland. She says she\u2019s getting excited but all I can see is that she\u2019s a bit hormonal. It\u2019s very hard for my Mistress planning anything when all the time she knows she is going to have to drop everything to take Shadow.<\/p>\n
We are having a quiet weekend this weekend. With Megan\u2019s paw being bad we can\u2019t really have a big family walk, although that is a bonus as I get lots of games of ball with Shadow. I can\u2019t take part when it\u2019s Shadow and Megan playing as Megan prefers to go for me rather than the ball. When it\u2019s just the two of us it\u2019s great fun, although I generally lose when we keep score. I start off well but then Shadow will glare at me and I know exactly what is expected of me in that situation. I can run along side her. I am allowed to find the ball if she loses it, but I MUST not retrieve the ball if she wants to get it and I MUST not win. I know my place and I\u2019m happy to oblige. The whole assertiveness thing rather passed me by in life. I\u2019m happy not to be in charge as long as I can still sit close to my Mistress that\u2019s all I need.<\/p>\n
