At last my Mistress is well enough to start taking Megan out again. She isn\u2019t up to any long walks yet but anything is better than nothing. They are working on two shorter walks while my mistress builds up her strength and Megan will in a few days be back to her old peace loving self.<\/p>\n
Aristotle is still not enjoying his swimming. I said he should try a different stroke to liven it up and wondered if he\u2019s given any thought to butterfly. Granted I can see he might find it quite hard to get his front legs all the way round, but it\u2019s got to be worth a try. He\u2019ll never know until he tries. My Mistress says his doggy paddle is very elegant and that everyone thinks it\u2019s really cute the way he tucks his back legs up and doesn\u2019t bother using them. He says what\u2019s the point in tiring out his back legs when he can swim perfectly well with just his front ones? I guess he\u2019s got a point and if it works for him then why not?<\/p>\n
Next week is a very important week. Granny is going to be 80. You wouldn\u2019t think it if you met her, but then 80 is the new 70 or in Granny\u2019s case probably the new 60. I helped my Mistress wrapping her presents yesterday. When I say \u2018helped\u2019, I more \u2018watched\u2019 than actually did anything. Maybe Ari\u2019s laziness swimming is because he\u2019s been learning from my example! Anyway, Granny is having cream teas but I\u2019ve been told I can\u2019t go. I\u2019d be in the way with all the people. It seems a big unfair when she\u2019s my granny and not theirs. I just hope the weather is good for it. After all the good weather we\u2019ve had it would be a shame if it rained.<\/p>\n
