It\u2019s Aristotle here as Alfie isn\u2019t feeling very well at the moment and said he\u2019d like to spend the day in bed. Anyway, it works out quite well as I\u2019ve got amazing news about my brother Basil (Beethoven from Mum\u2019s second litter). He\u2019s hoping to be a father! How cool would that be? He passed all his tests last year and has been waiting for a suitable partner. Our Mistress worked out that he was a match for Aida and we\u2019ve been waiting for Aida\u2019s season<\/p>\n

Basil and Aida<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

to start. On Sunday, the two of them made history by being the first ever Entlebucher mating where both dogs had been born in the UK. It\u2019s really exciting and if things go well then it means Mum (Shadow) will become a grandma for the first time. I know I\u2019m already an uncle to dogs born on dad\u2019s side, but this is the first time that I\u2019ll have nieces and nephews in the UK and I just can\u2019t wait. Of course, there are no guarantees and things may not work out, but we will be following Aida\u2019s progress very carefully. She\u2019s a very good looking dog and got excellent in her conformation test in Switzerland. We all know how handsome Basil is by the number of shows he\u2019s won, quite apart from his test. There could be some very pretty little puppies around, which would be just great.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to enter my competition to win your very own Pet Mirror. You can find the details HERE<\/a> and you\u2019ve got until Friday to enter.<\/p>\n

Right, I\u2019d better get myself ready to go swimming as Alfie isn\u2019t well. He was going, but as he\u2019s got a poorly tummy he\u2019s best at home. It means Wilma can watch me instead, so I\u2019ll probably be showing off.<\/p>\n
