My sister Esther is very well. She did have to have an operation but she has recovered from that. Shadow says she looks much older than me, which made me feel good about myself. I did receive news that one of my half-brothers had died. He was a couple of years older than me. The others from that litter are well and my full brother and other full sister are well too. Shadow said she really liked my Mum\u2019s humans and she could see why I had such a lovely upbringing. Apparently they kept giving her corners of cheese which she liked very much. My niece Marie is a very good looking girl and apparently my Mistress said if she ever gets round to having puppies she would love to have one from Marie, but that won\u2019t be for a few years yet. I just hope I\u2019m still around to meet her. My Mistress says if all goes well she will try to take me on a visit to Belgium later in the year, after Shadow\u2019s puppies go off to their homes.<\/p>\n
Anyway, they will be home later today and I\u2019m hoping I can get some more photos of them at the show to let you see. We\u2019re really looking forward to seeing them. Looking after Aristotle can get a bit much after the first day or so. I can\u2019t keep track of what he\u2019s up to. One minute I\u2019m watching him and then I close my eyes for just a moment and he\u2019s gone. Once the others get home I\u2019m scheduling in a good long recovery nap!<\/p>\n
We heard from Megan yesterday. She\u2019s doing very well and is happy where she is in Germany. It\u2019s good to hear she still thinks of us sometimes as I know she is never far from our Mistress\u2019s thoughts.<\/p>\n
