My sister Esther is very well. She did have to have an operation but she has recovered from that. Shadow says she looks much older than me, which made me feel good about myself. I did receive news that one of my half-brothers had died. He was a couple of years older than me. The others from that litter are well and my full brother and other full sister are well too. Shadow said she really liked my Mum’s humans and she could see why I had such a lovely upbringing. Apparently they kept giving her corners of cheese which she liked very much. My niece Marie is a very good looking girl and apparently my Mistress said if she ever gets round to having puppies she would love to have one from Marie, but that won’t be for a few years yet. I just hope I’m still around to meet her. My Mistress says if all goes well she will try to take me on a visit to Belgium later in the year, after Shadow’s puppies go off to their homes.
Anyway, they will be home later today and I’m hoping I can get some more photos of them at the show to let you see. We’re really looking forward to seeing them. Looking after Aristotle can get a bit much after the first day or so. I can’t keep track of what he’s up to. One minute I’m watching him and then I close my eyes for just a moment and he’s gone. Once the others get home I’m scheduling in a good long recovery nap!
We heard from Megan yesterday. She’s doing very well and is happy where she is in Germany. It’s good to hear she still thinks of us sometimes as I know she is never far from our Mistress’s thoughts.
