I promised to bring you the Discover Dogs Free Ticket Competition so here it is before everything starts hotting up for the puppies. If you have never been to Discover Dogs then I can wholeheartedly recommend it; as long as you like dogs of course, but I guess you wouldn\u2019t be reading this if you didn\u2019t! Anyway \u2013 this year for the first time it is being held at ExCel London on 17th<\/sup> and 18th<\/sup> of October. It\u2019s being sponsored by Eukanuba which I can assure you from my point of view is a good thing as I\u2019ve been eating their food for nearly ten years and love it now as much as I did when I was a puppy. Although I won\u2019t be there in person this time you can meet many of my fellow Entlebuchers including some of Shadow\u2019s children as well as hundreds of other breeds of dog of all shapes and sizes. You can talk to the people who know what their like to live with and ask about the Clubs for the breed to find out what health testing their breeders do and how easy the dogs are to live with. If you are looking to buy a new dog it really is the best way to find out about lots of different breeds, but it\u2019s way more than that. If you just enjoy the company of dogs there is nowhere better to get to know them. Most of us are willing to be patted, stroked, cuddled and otherwise adored. Ari didn\u2019t even object when a small child stuck his finger up Ari\u2019s nose on one occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite apart from meeting the dogs there are stalls selling all things dog related and activities and competitions to watch as well. It really is a great day out for all the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are giving away two pairs of free tickets to the show so see the details below of how to enter, but if you can\u2019t wait for that or you want more tickets you can also use the discount code DDCOMP to get 10% off the price of tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for the competition: To enter just sign up for our newsletter (to the right of this post), and email me the answer to the following question – including your name and address in the email so the tickets can be sent to you if you win. In your email tell me \u2018How much did Aristotle weigh when he was born?\u2019 You can find the answer by going to this link to the birth of Shadow\u2019s first litter. The deadline for entries is 1st<\/sup> October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just briefly an update on Shadow as you wouldn\u2019t be pleased if I told you nothing of her progress. She\u2019s fine, but we think the thermometer needs replacing! She has always shown an apparently low temperature, but then this time it started so low that either she was about to go into labour prematurely or there was something wrong with the measure. Our Mistress took her own temperature \u2013 under her arm before you ask \u2013 and it seems she\u2019s heading for hyperthermia too so she thought it best to get a new thermometer which will arrive today. The very earliest we expect anything to happen is Wednesday but our Mistress says that realistically the earliest in her mind is Friday and the most likely is Sunday. I did wonder about opening a book but our Mistress says I\u2019m not allowed to take bets. Do feel free to put in the comments when you think it will be day and time of birth of first pup and we\u2019ll see who is nearest \u2013 just for fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
