Things are not going to plan for Shadow and our Mistress. It turns out the snow ploughs in Switzerland are very efficient and keep going round ALL night. So you have a choice, sleep or clear roads. If that were not bad enough, our Mistress walked into the overhang from a building and hit her head so hard that she was knocked off her feet and has given her a big lump on her head and a headache.
Then of course there is the small matter of mating Shadow. They got up early and were with Rolex by 8am, but he still only wanted to play. Shadow tried all her feminine charms on him, but with no effect. She was going back to see him again last night, but it was too late for me to find out what happened. Rolex has a house mate who is also a stud dog. My Mistress was finding out what had to be done if Shadow were to mate with him too. I don’t know whether that will happen. It would mean all the puppies being dna tested to find out which ones belonged to which dad, which all seems very strange to me. Fortunately the other dog would also be a good match for Shadow so maybe that will happen. They can go again this morning at 8am too if they need to, but then they have to drive home. I can’t wait to see them, but I still have to be patient for a little time yet.
Whatever happens, we just hope it is enough for Shadow to become pregnant. It will be difficult to sort out when she will mate next if she isn’t . These things never go quite as you plan them to.
