I can\u2019t actually take part but I can\u2019t help but be impressed with our village. Each year there is a 10k race organised by some lovely people in our village and this year, even before the registrations on the day there were 340 people entered to run. Now when you think there are only 250 people living in our village that\u2019s not a bad figure. It takes about a quarter of the whole village to help on the day and although we dogs aren\u2019t included the humans seem to think it is amazing and one of the highlights of the village year. Shadow says if she weren\u2019t pregnant she\u2019d have liked to have taken part, but our Mistress is not runner so it might have been at a fast walking pace.<\/p>\n
Shadow is doing fine. She had a lovely long walk yesterday. It\u2019s the furthest she\u2019s felt like going for a while so I think she must be feeling a bit better than she did. She is also starting to ask to eat a little more so has started to have a light supper as well as breakfast and dinner. I think our Mistress is going to move her onto a light lunch instead of supper so she doesn\u2019t feel too full at bed time. She is looking very well and was delighted to be fussed by our visitors yesterday. She has been discussing the next stage of preparations with our Mistress and been reassured that everything will be sorted next weekend. There is the small matter of rehoming the freezer amongst other things. I suppose it would have been a good time for the freezer to be empty, but our Mistress wasn\u2019t that organised. I\u2019m not impressed that I\u2019m going to have to sleep in a different room than usual. I started the negotiation by putting in a bid to sleep upstairs with our Master and Mistress but that request was thrown out. I\u2019m going to see if I can have my own room, but I\u2019m not sure that will be accepted either.<\/p>\n
