Megan is definitely home. When she got back my Master and Mistress took Shadow and Megan for a walk before Megan had so much as come in the house. Shadow growled at her as soon as she saw her but the walk sorted all that out and she was fine when she came in. They were so hot and tired from the walk that they weren\u2019t ready to bother about anything and it was as though Megan had never been away. From the way the others were sniffing Megan I suspect her season is going to start very soon. I wasn\u2019t prepared to get close enough to find out. It probably helped that Aristotle was tired from our time in kennels too. Yet again he\u2019s found a new girlfriend. I don\u2019t know how he does it. Every time we go anywhere a girl dog is smitten by Aristotle. He doesn\u2019t have to do anything. Of course he completely makes the most of it and had a fantastic time playing with her. What is it that he\u2019s got and I haven\u2019t? Ok so he isn\u2019t grumpy or middle aged, but I suspect there\u2019s more to it than that. What is the \u2018it\u2019 factor in dogs?<\/p>\n
By the time she\u2019d done the driving and walked Megan, my Mistress\u2019s hand was hurting quite a lot and was quite swollen. The problem is that she does not know the meaning of taking it easy. I\u2019ve tried to lead by example but she\u2019s not very good at it. I said \u2018forget all the work\u2019 bring a book and sit outside\u2019. She just pointed out all the chores she\u2019d notice that haven\u2019t been done \u2013 like mowing the grass. She says she\u2019s much happier to finish the chores and then sit down, but the problem is that she never finishes the chores.<\/p>\n
