National Day – Wednesday 1st August 2018

National Day

Today is the Swiss National Day. It means we have a bank holiday so can all go out for the day together. We’re going to see my half sister Tosca and all her housemates. Beija has puppies so we will see them too. Shadow is excited because Falk, who is the father of her third litter, will be there too and she hasn’t seen him for a long time. She’s looking forward to catching up about their kids and how they are all doing.

Forest walk

We had a lovely long walk through the forest with Mama and Valeria yesterday. While we walked their human was telling Mum the story of William Tell and how it all fits with Swiss history. It was really interesting and I enjoyed hearing all about my country’s heritage too. Mum would have liked to buy some of the bunting with all the canton flags on it but she didn’t get time to go anywhere yesterday that might have been selling it. She will see if they still have some when she goes to the supermarket tomorrow. She said it would be nice to have some for our stand at Discover Dogs to go with our Swiss flag bunting.

And repeat

You aren’t going to believe this. Last night Mum and Dad went for ice cream without us again! That’s two days running. I’m really not happy about this becoming a habit. She might forget how much I like ice cream and that would be really bad news. I know it’s been really hot but if they can’t take us with them they shouldn’t go out at all. At least that’s my view. I know we don’t get left out very often but I’d rather it wasn’t at all.

I’d best go. I think we’re going for an early walk before we go out for the day and I’ll be in trouble if I’m not ready to go.

Love

Wilma
