Ari got very excited yesterday. He received news that one of his half brothers from Switzerland is coming to live over here in November. Obviously, it\u2019s a brother on his father\u2019s side. He\u2019s going to live with some people that his mum went for a walk with the other day. Now he\u2019s fed up that he didn\u2019t get to meet them. Our Mistress said she\u2019s sure when his brother arrives there will be an opportunity.<\/p>\n
Shadow has been off her breakfast the last few days. It isn\u2019t that she wants to eat any less overall, but she is happy to wait a few hours before eating. I guess it\u2019s another of those little signs along the way. She\u2019ll be asking for Marmite on toast next. That would involve a shopping trip as our Mistress is one of those \u2018hate Marmite\u2019 people.<\/p>\n
Our Mistress\u2019s birthday presents have been ordered. She went for the \u2018Cow shed\u2019 puppy house in the end rather than the strawberry. This litter of puppies are going to be so spoilt. They will also be the first litter not left traumatised by being weighed in a pillow case as our Mistress has progressed to a rather good set of scales for weighing small animals. It will be no good for me as it stops at 15kg, but the hope is that for small puppies it will be perfect. It will make weighing them all much easier. Not all her presents will benefit the puppies, she is having some things that will be good for the rest of us, such as a new book of ice cream recipes and a soup maker. It\u2019s good that she can\u2019t eat onion as it means she can make soups that we can eat too. After finishing off some of the cheese sauce on Sunday I\u2019m thinking of asking for Stilton and Broccoli as my first request!<\/p>\n
