It turns out that I should not have pointed out that there was a possibility of the puppies being born on our Mistress\u2019s birthday. She suddenly realised that that would mean they would all have the same birthday. Now I know that may have been obvious to you and me, but it took a while for the logic to hit home for our Mistress. Anyway, once it did she said, \u201cI\u2019d have to keep them all. I couldn\u2019t give away puppies that shared the same birthday.\u201d I\u2019ll leave you to imagine what Alfie\u2019s response to that was, even before our Master had the opportunity to weigh in with some sense. Anyway, the upshot is that we are now sincerely hoping that they do not share her birthday. However, there is another twist to the story. The girl in Switzerland that we might have a puppy from is at about the same stage before her season as Shadow. Now, wouldn\u2019t it be cool if we could have a puppy that was born on her birthday? Wouldn\u2019t that be the coolest 50th<\/sup> birthday present every? We shall just have to wait to see what happens but we\u2019ll have more idea in the next month or so.<\/p>\n

Our Mistress getting on with writing her book, rather than taking time away from us, is paying dividends. There is a lot of dog walking going on. I\u2019m not saying there is dog walking in the book. It\u2019s just our Mistress finds it the best way to think. She takes one or other of us out and talks through the chapter she is about to write. She\u2019d got a bit stuck yesterday so we all got long walks to help. I think we sorted her out in the end, but it wasn\u2019t easy. I hope she will include me in the acknowledgements for the book!<\/p>\n
