MONDAY

.   .   .   .   ChiChi received his bath today. He did not approve but I got away without any loss of blood. The leather gloves were slightly damaged in the process but that only adds to the damage done on previous bathings. I am beginning to see a slight mellowing in him as far as baths are concerned. If he lives another ten years he may by then be able to accept bathing as a necessary evil. We shall see. . . . . The rest of the day was spent reading and napping as well as enjoying watching the rain come down. There was a lucky break in the afternoon when the sun was out for some time. That is always a welcome sight this time of year.
