Well, Aristotle did not want to go swimming yesterday. Not one little bit. After how well he did last week, my Mistress really hoped he\u2019d be happy to go again. However, as soon as he got out of the front door he put his little backside down on the floor as firmly as he could and refused to move. My Mistress had to pick him up and carry him to the car and physically push him in. Then when he got there he wouldn\u2019t collect the toy he\u2019s supposed to pick up each time. He tried to get out. He did everything he could not to take part and at one point even rolled over and floundered in the water in attempt to gain sympathy for his cause. It did not work. He was still made to do his exercises and will be going again next week. It\u2019s funny given he\u2019s such a good swimmer that he doesn\u2019t really want to go.<\/p>\n
It has suddenly dawned on my Mistress that she needs to bring her bed downstairs this weekend. She will start sleeping in with Shadow from early next week. It has all rather crept up on us and now it really won\u2019t be very long. Shadow is taking it in her stride. She\u2019s rather large and saggy in places and not looking forward to having her temperature taken on a regular basis for the next week or so. She has said can\u2019t we just leave that stage out, as no one likes a thermometer stuck up their rear end, but my Mistress is insisting it is in her own good. I\u2019ll say one thing for Shadow, her coat is really very shiny again. This pregnancy thing seems to suit her. She says she\u2019d enjoy the whole process if it weren\u2019t for the inconvenient undercarriage that trails after her.<\/p>\n
