Sunday 23rd August 2015 – Pregnancy is never easy

Mum (Shadow) wasn’t feeling so great yesterday. She couldn’t face her breakfast and just wanted to lie down, although even then she was finding it hard to get comfortable. When she lies down now there is a whole section of her underneath that sort of spreads out to the side. The scan is really only going to confirm how many and that they are alright rather than whether she is pregnant. Either that or she’s a better actor than Laurence Olivier was! It will only be another five days until we find out and then the preparation can begin. Nothing will start until all our visitors have gone next weekend, but soon after that rooms will need to be moved round to make way for all the whelping box, pen and other things. It’s not going to be quite as easy to find places to put everything this time as there have been some changes since the last litter. I wonder where I’m going to be sleeping at night? Maybe I could sleep with our Master when our Mistress and Mum move downstairs in a few weeks. I think he might like that. I suppose Alfie is going to want to move downstairs to be close to our Mistress too so I’d hate our Master to get lonely.

Alfie has been a bit naughty recently. Our Mistress left two bananas on the table that were a bit old. She was going to turn them into a banana cake rather than throw them out. While she was out Alfie got to them first and had tried and failed to peel one. He had left it on the floor in disgust. He used to be the good one of the family so I don’t know what’s going on. It was sausage rolls from a  bag a couple of weeks ago!

  1. Ari, so you’ve noticed it too. The older ones seem to be doing naughty things around the house lately. Sasha, got into the bichon’s treats and ate their whole tub and then she had an upset tummy which did not please my human at all and that Bopeep keeps sitting in my spot on the sofa. Addie.

    • I can’t say too much – but he’s in trouble again today. He’s been barking at everything. I think last night’s storm upset him. 🙂
