It seems that really isn\u2019t the thing to do. There she is, concentrating really hard and all of a sudden I come up and bark in her ear. I don\u2019t\u2019 have a quiet bark either. Not only did I break her concentration I scared her witless. You\u2019ve never seen someone jump the way she did. She got very cross with me indeed, I was almost sorry. I\u2019m barking rather a lot at the moment and need to get out of what is becoming a bad habit. It\u2019s just that it is my only way of retaliating and whilst in the past I didn\u2019t seem to need it that much as I\u2019ve got older I\u2019ve been forced to resort to it more and more. I\u2019m feeling a bit old at the moment. It seems to go in phases and I don\u2019t really know why, I think it\u2019s partly insecurity. I didn\u2019t really appreciate my Mistress choosing to take Aristotle instead of me last weekend, even though I didn\u2019t want to see Megan and he did. I don\u2019t have to be rational, I just want to be understood and adored. It doesn\u2019t help that Shadow has taken to sitting on my Mistress\u2019s feet under the desk and it doesn\u2019t matter how many times my Mistress explains I\u2019m her number one dog and how I\u2019m the only one allowed to get into bed with her every morning, somehow it\u2019s the little things that get to me.<\/p>\n
My Mistress seems to be doing an analysis of the freezing temperatures of different substances by turning them into ice lollies. So far she has discovered that cherry syrup that with added water makes squash 1) separates during freezing and 2) doesn\u2019t freeze \u2013 the water bit does, the syrup doesn\u2019t. Blueberry juice however does freeze but isn\u2019t was hard when frozen as water although doesn\u2019t seem to taste much of blueberries once frozen. She thinking of trying water melon next.<\/p>\n
