Kind Words From A Kind Dog

Hello All

A short blog tonight but both my mistress and I are feeling a lot better this week.

We were thinking over the last blog and the very kind thoughts that George the Pup sent. Looking back really we found that it wasn't so bad and Georges good wishes made us see that. The house still stands nobody has died and we are snug, warm, well fed and both of us with a reasonable occupation. ( Mine, if you are interested, is letting the old ladies round where we live make a fuss of me and giving them affection) Nothing terrible had happened

In many aspects that the idea of the man in front of you may have a far worse situation than you have does not stop your own situation being a problem - but it does put it into some perspective. For instance it has made me enjoy the recent Autumn sunshine even more. We went up to the stones today and it was fantastic just to be able to bound around and shove my nose into anything and everything.

For my mistress it has made her think how easy it is just to complain. She was telling myself and Bernard (my big friend from over the rainbow bridge) that she was out to dinner with friends among which was the hypnotherapist of her team and the thing that hit home was how positive this lady was Attractive but not stunning, it was her enthusiasm and joy of life that made her stand out. Just the positivity around her made my mistress smile and think that she should be more the same.

One other thing that she told me was that the hypnotherapist got all her companions to think of some other woman, dead or alive, who inspired them. For my mistress, she thought of dividing the exercise into two sections. Who she would model her appearance on and who she would like to be like. She came up with the british actress Felicity Kendel and the late british polition Mo Moland. A mixture of cute sexiness and practical kindness

The meal was absolutely superb with some of the best flash fried steak she ever had. I know this since she bought me a little back in a doggy bag to share

The biggest thing this week is that my mistress has had some tooth ache. To deal with it she has been dousing the tooth and gum with propolis tincture ( Bee 'spit' and alcohol which is a natural antibiotic) Now she doesn't know if the propolis has worked, the alcohol has anaesthetised the tooth or she is just 'pished' (unlikely since there simply is not enough brandy to make a bee drunk) At all events the tooth has stopped hurting!

Well that's it for the time being

Look after yourselves and your companions
