You\u2019d like to think after the scales experience that she would give up, but you\u2019d be wrong. She has sent for a different set to see if they work any better. She also now has a tracker that counts her exercise and sleep and I think may be becoming a little excessive. All I can say is that if it results in more walks for us then it really can\u2019t be a wholly bad idea. It\u2019s all to do with the looming \u2018birthday\u2019. It\u2019s still more than a year away, but she is of the opinion if she isn\u2019t fit before she gets that far than she sure isn\u2019t likely to be again in the future. There\u2019s fit and there\u2019s \u2018fit\u2019! I think she is trying to recapture her lost youth. She is getting as bad as her friend that took up running at a similar sort of age. The friend is now at the point of running whole marathons. I don\u2019t think my Mistress is planning to go quite to that extreme but she might at least get to the point where she can touch her toes again. At least as a dog I can carry on reaching rather more than my toes to give them all a good clean.<\/p>\n
Shadow\u2019s hormones are not quite so all over the place even though her season hasn\u2019t started. She is now able to spend the time with us without the frantic need to play with Aristotle 24hrs a day. She is still quite full of life, but we like her like that. It was just her manic bouncing that had all got too much. We\u2019re surprised her season hasn\u2019t started yet though. If it doesn\u2019t start soon my Mistress is likely to conclude she has missed one for some reason. It makes planning the timing of the next litter very difficult.<\/p>\n
