185: He’s Back

Finally TOWTSH has returned from his trip/visit/holiday to A Merry Ca.

I think he’s been away for several weeks - or does it just seem like that.

Of course, when he returned, I played it very cool… letting him know that he can’t trifle with my loyalty.

I am,though, happy - and mightily relieved that he is back.  I now get more walks - and a few more treats - though he did take me to the vet’s yesterday. I have acquired an ear inspection. (Don’t ask me how!

This means drops in my ears twice a day. I hate that. It’s like a form of torture.  Of course, I know its necessary - but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.

This situation seems like a microcosm of life itself. 

You go along, living your life when something good happens (He comes back) but then immediately, something bad happens (I get an ear infection).

I believe this is sometimes described as ’swings and roundabouts’ but I can’t see the connection. 

Oh no, here she comes with the dropper!
