At last my Mistress has understood that I\u2019m jealous because I\u2019m not getting enough attention. I used to have her all to myself, for the first 2 and a half years of my life. Then there was only me and Shadow and Shadow had James so it was ok. The trouble started when Megan moved in just over two years ago. When Aristotle was small it was ok with him as he wasn\u2019t a rival and I was lulled into a false sense of security thinking he was cute. The problem is that he\u2019s now a year old and he\u2019s still cute. He\u2019s still the puppy and it\u2019s wearing thin. What with the girls being pampered through their pregnancies too, it can get to a chap after a while. I\u2019ve been getting more and more moody until finally, my Mistress sat down with me to discuss the situation. We\u2019ve come to a bit of an understanding. She will make more time for me on my own if I will just tone down the moody behaviour. It\u2019s worth a try. It will be my seventh birthday soon and I\u2019m not getting any younger. I need to feel special as I take on the role of senior dog in the household. I\u2019m just glad we\u2019ve talked about it now because by the time the puppies come along there\u2019s going to be precious little time to have our little heart to hearts then. I\u2019m also hoping having the chat just three weeks or so before my birthday might actually mean it translates into some lovely presents. Although all I really want is some time for a cuddle and being made a fuss of. I\u2019m not so different to other kids when it comes down to it.<\/p>\n
