<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nYesterday we went to a wonderful museum called Ballenberg. It has lots of old buildings from all over Switzerland. The best bit for me was that it covers a very big area and I got to do lots and lots of walking. I didn\u2019t get to go into the buildings, although some of the humans did. There were so many things to see and do. The best bits for me were wanting to chase the chickens. Some of them were huge. I tried to go and say hello to a pig but I didn\u2019t know there was an electric fence in the way and I got a shock on my nose.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis one from 2014 really made me smile. I can just imagine poor\nAlfie not knowing how to cope with a hormonal Shadow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hormonal dogs<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\nShadow is a bag of hormones again. She always gets like\nthis when she is approaching her season. She wants to play. Not just a little\nbit, no, that I could put up with. She wants to play ALL the time! She\u2019s nearly\nsix for goodness sake. That makes her about 40 in human terms. She should not\nwant to play all the time. Mind you, Aristotle isn\u2019t much better. He\u2019s now\nabout 21 in human terms and has reached adulthood, but clearly that is news to\nhim. The two of them can roll over and over without any thought for who or what\nis around them. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nMy Mistress was discussing whether Shadow will be spayed\nafter her final litter and I asked if I could have a vote on the subject as I\nwould definitely be part of the \u2018Yes\u2019 campaign. Anything to make things more\nsettled in the household. Unfortunately it does not seem to be my decision and\nmy Mistress says she and Shadow will discuss it with our vet after the next\nlitter and the decision will totally be based on what is in the best interests\nof Shadow\u2019s health. I\u2019m off to do some research on the internet and print out\nany articles I find that show that spaying will be the best thing for her\nhealth wise!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nWell I really must go and cause trouble elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a great Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
