Aristotle is unbearably excited about seeing Megan later this week. He has been asking if I think he looks his best and whether I think she will have missed him as much as he has missed her. I suppose the fact that, as things have turned out, she hasn\u2019t yet got together with his father helps the way he feels. He had feared things might be awkward between them, but as Megan hasn\u2019t come into season he\u2019s got it into his head that she has been waiting for him. I didn\u2019t like to point out that there wasn\u2019t a whole lot he could do about it and theirs was always destined to be a more innocent affection. He\u2019s hoping to meet his dad too and I\u2019m just hoping he doesn\u2019t say anything to his dad about his feelings about Megan as that might put his dad off when the time comes. Of course, given we\u2019re dogs it probably won\u2019t!<\/p>\n
Once again I have put in a request for a new collar. I\u2019m just hoping my Mistress will remember to go to the pet shop this time to buy one. It\u2019s hard being left at home and then not even getting the present you hope for. I want another with Swiss flags on it, to match the special lead I have. I did have one but it broke.<\/p>\n
We heard from Cinderella at the weekend. She has a touch of colitis. Get well soon Cinderella, we\u2019re all thinking of you.<\/p>\n
My Mistress is very excited about the journey tomorrow as they are stopping to see Tess who was one of Shadow\u2019s puppies last year. It is the other thing that Ari is excited about as he and Tess were very close. They used to lie nose to nose either side of the pen bars so they could be together. All in all it\u2019s quite a week for Aristotle.<\/p>\n
