Paw-me-downs – Thursday 24th October 2019

Paw-me-downs

I’ve decided that paw-me-downs aren’t so bad after all. The bed I’ve been ‘reallocated’ was Alfie’s old one from our Mistress’s bedroom. I’m going to leave aside the fact he now has one of the lovely Orvis ones and focus on the good things. He treated his much better than I treated mine. I did have one like this. In fact it was the remaining part of it that I ate earlier in the week. By comparison not only has Alfie’s not been eaten, but it’s still the right shape and pretty comfortable. It does make me wonder what exactly I did to mine in the first place to stop it looking much like a bed. Anyway, I need to make the best of it as our Mistress has said there will be no more new beds bought until we have rationalised the old ones.

Sunshine

I was very glad of the sunshine on my fur yesterday. It’s that time of year where you have to get out in the sun when you can to keep yourself cheerful. I did a bit of helping outside. Not only has Andrew been doing some work out there but I helped our Mistress checking all the things that are needed for the character test that is happening as part of the breeding test on Saturday. I’m not actually allowed to help on the day, which is a shame, but I can do my bit now. I rather like the cow bell and the horn that are used. They make so much noise. I’m guessing the whole village will be able to hear them.

More food

I’m enjoying having more food. I know it might only be a temporary thing, but I’m really going to make the most of it in the meantime. I would prefer it to be steak, but I’ll make do with kibble if that’s all that’s on offer. I’m just hoping I don’t gain weight too quickly!

Have a good Thursday
