It was never going to be a good day yesterday. I realised that when we first got up and Shadow was insistent in sticking her bottom in my face. That\u2019s the problem with living with breeding bitches, they get these urges and on some days they are simply overwhelmed by them. There is one day in each of their seasons when they become insufferable. My Mistress said that it was better that it was me she was targeting seeing as Ari is her son, but quite frankly it would be better if she\u2019d leave us both alone. It got worse as my Mistress was in London for the day and had to leave us at home. We weren\u2019t left to our own devices thankfully, but it\u2019s never a good day if my Mistress isn\u2019t close by my side. She showed me the bit in the presentation she gave last Saturday which says that the bond between and Entlebucher and his owner is almost \u2018pathological\u2019 and she said that was me! She\u2019s probably right, but I like being close to her.<\/p>\n
My Mistress\u2019s day got off to a bad start when she had an alarm clock malfunction. It wasn\u2019t that the alarm clock didn\u2019t go off, it was that it went off too early. She could have sworn she set it to go off at 6.30 but it jumped into life at 6. Normally she\u2019d just have hit snooze but she didn\u2019t realise so got up and went straight into the shower. She only realised what had happened when she came out of the shower and it was only 6.20. I suggested there may have been a time warp while she was in there.<\/p>\n
When she got to the station she couldn\u2019t get her ticket becaue her credit card has changed and ended up having an argument with the woman in the ticket office, which is never a good start to the day either. However, the main problem was that when she went out with us first thing it was shaping up to be a nice warm day. Somewhere between that and going to the station the clouds came over and a cold wind had started. Sadly she was in a summery cardigan over a thin t shirt and she was very cold. When she got to London and saw the length of wait for the taxi she went to the shops in the station concourse and found one selling jumpers, bought one, put it on and then went to join the queue. She\u2019s quite pleased with her new purchase, so perhaps it wasn\u2019t such a bad day after all.<\/p>\n
