How exciting is that, we were in the paper. The paper being \u2018Dog World\u2019 which is a weekly paper for dogs, or their owners, one or the other. Anyway, my Mistress sent them a piece about our fun day along with several photographs. They chose the one of me and Aristotle. Sadly they didn\u2019t ask our names but we know it\u2019s us. It\u2019s also a shame that they didn\u2019t put the name of our friend Alfie Entlebucher\u2019s owner as the person taking the photo, we did ask them to. She\u2019s really very good at taking photos, she took a wonderful one of my howling. I don\u2019t do that very often, how she captured the exact moment of full howl I really don\u2019t know. I think the other Alfie posted some on his blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Mistress is surviving quite well without coffee. She has managed 4 days so far. She has at least another 6 to go. She doesn\u2019t feel great and she\u2019d love a hot drink, but as they said she could only have camomile tea and she has declared that to be undrinkable she is somewhat limited. I said to her, if water is good enough for us then it should be good enough for her. Mind you, can you imagine what Megan would be like if we gave her coffee? It doesn\u2019t even bear thinking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel better about having to go to the vet at intervals to have my annual inoculations. Tomorrow my Master and my Mistress are going for their flu jabs. They don\u2019t actually go to the vet, they go to a doctor but it\u2019s the same principle. At least they don\u2019t have to have the one they stick up our noses. That is never pleasant. And another thing, if they can stick a thermometer into a human ear for a second or two to take your temperature, why can\u2019t they do that for a dog? Why do they have to stick a thermometer up our rear end for a minute or two? It\u2019s undignified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
