Happy birthday Aristotle\u2026 and Addie, Arnie, Amigo, Dora, Soggeli and Rafa. It\u2019s amazing to think you are all 2 today. It only seems like yesterday\u2026<\/p>\n
Shadow has been going round with a beaming smile on her face. Having seen her very own human for the first time in four months and had some lovely walks with our Mistress all to herself she is one very happy little dog. It\u2019s funny remembering back to when she was two and was really a very annoying dog. She\u2019s really grown up now and is quite enjoyable to be around. Although having said that when she\u2019s happy she is like a toy on springs and moves every step by bouncing upwards first. My Mistress said on their walk yesterday she managed to run like that. I don\u2019t know how she does it. Try as I might I don\u2019t have nearly so much spring in my step as she does.<\/p>\n
When she was at the garden centre my Mistress briefly contemplated buying some winter broccoli to plant so it was ready in the spring. Fortunately she saw sense and decided that the butterflies still seemed to be active so it was probably too high risk. You would think she\u2019d learnt her lesson and wouldn\u2019t want to go anywhere near the stuff again.<\/p>\n
All the birdfeeders had to be refilled yesterday. I don\u2019t know where they are putting it all. Although to be fair our \u2018soup kitchen\u2019 for the birds does seem to have been broadcast fairly widely judging by the numbers turning up for their meals. I said we should start providing more nesting boxes for them as well. Given that we had a family in the one we had it\u2019s time to increase our property holding. This buy-to-let thing has been all the rage with humans so I don\u2019t see why it shouldn\u2019t work out with the wildlife as well. We\u2019d have to have different sizes for the different types of birds, although I don\u2019t think the pigeons and crows need any help.<\/p>\n
