\"0176bf9a80ddd3465cd4caebdb42e7421316215cb7\"<\/a>Normally Shadow is very reluctant to leave the house and pups behind. Our Mistress has, in the past, had to almost drag her down the road to get her to leave. This year is different. Shadow hasn\u2019t so much looked back as she\u2019s walked away from the house and when they walked round the village green today she actually complained that our Mistress had turned for home so soon when she wanted to carry on up to her usual walk. You\u2019d think she\u2019d be wanting to get back. You\u2019d also think having had an operation a week ago walking wouldn\u2019t be that much fun. It just goes to show that I\u2019ll never really understand my Mum.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m having to be good and it\u2019s killing me. Oh sure, D\u2019Artagnan can scream and everyone goes running to see what\u2019s the matter. I start screaming and immediately I\u2019m the naughty one. \u2018It\u2019s time to be responsible, Ari.\u2019 \u2018Set a good example, Ari.\u2019 Well we\u2019ll see about that! I\u2019m busy plotting and it won\u2019t be pretty.<\/p>\n

Shadow has been doing a little better feeding them again today. Only Dixie has been asking for more, except for the time when D\u2019Artagnan was screaming and he just wanted more milk from his mum when he was supposed to be asleep. For our Mistress what is great is that when they actually get enough to eat they then sleep for about an hour and three quarters, which means she has time to get a few bits done before going back to them. She\u2019s looking forward to them getting to two hours as it will make sleep at night a little easier too.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s today\u2019s video<\/a>. It won\u2019t be long before there is a bit more to see. There were the first signs of them weight bearing on their front legs today, ready to start scampering around and playing ball\u2026 although I think that last bit may still be a few days away at least.<\/p>\n
