Dixie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We heard from Dixie in the week. She\u2019s doing really well. She\u2019s growing up fast and trying to remember everything that Mum and our Mistress taught her. When I say her photo I couldn\u2019t help but think she rather looks like me. Of all my brothers and sisters related on my mother\u2019s side I\u2019ve always thought Tucker and I were the most alike, but of course I don\u2019t see photos of all of the others as often so I may be like some of them too. Now I\u2019ve got a sister who reminds me of me too! How cool is that? I wonder if she\u2019ll stay looking like me as she gets older or if it\u2019s just this picture.<\/p>\n

As we told you a few days ago, just before she broke the measuring stick, Wilma seemed to be 42.5cms to the shoulder. Now, Mum is only 43cms and as Wilma is still growing that means that she is definitely going to be taller than Mum which is great, but at the moment they are about the same size. Because they are both fairly dominant characters our Mistress has wanted to keep them apart except very closely supervised until Wilma was big enough and strong enough to stick up for herself. That time has come. Yesterday Wilma and Mum (Shadow) hat some time just the two of them in the office to see if they could play nicely. Although the toys were left out, the bones and chews were removed so there was not so much to argue over. Our Mistress couldn\u2019t believe it. They played really nicely together and both said they\u2019d had a great time, before settling down for a nap fairly closely together. Our Mistress did have to take Mum\u2019s collar off so that Wilma didn\u2019t get hold of it but there was no unpleasantness between them at all and they were even happy to pose together for a picture.<\/p>\n
