Shadow is very settled and clingy this morning. The best bit was feeling a puppy kick earlier. I think it was trying to give her a prod into bringing it out into the world. Aristotle has been running round like a mad thing but I think he’s rather excited. He’s settled down now. Shadow is very uncomfortable, she’s right off eating dog food but does rather like a mix of yoghurt, oats and ham. My Mistress has taken some finest beef mince out to cook for her later. Hopefully she’ll like that. We’ve all offered to help eat what she doesn’t want.
