Shadow is such a happy dog. To be fair she is a happy dog most of the time. However when Dad comes home she becomes an especially happy dog and goes absolutely bonkers. It\u2019s probably a good job that her heart conditions has stabilised as that much excitement probably wouldn\u2019t be any good for her otherwise. For four whole weeks Shadow is likely to be one big smile, which is a lovely thought. When she smiles she can\u2019t help but make the rest of us happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is nothing like being an optimist. \u201cWhat shall we plan to do next year, Wilma?\u201d Mum asked. I resisted the temptation to say that the way things are looking it would probably be much the same as we\u2019ve done this year. To be honest, I don\u2019t think either of us would be able to face that. Some level of optimism is definitely called for. I don\u2019t think Mum is likely to go as far as booking anything, although there are three things from this year which have moved forward and none of them include me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tentatively I suggested we should set ourselves a bit of a challenge. I\u2019ve just not decided what it should be. It should definitely include both of us and involve lots of being outdoors. I wondered if I could make a list of all my doggy friends around the country an see just how many we could go to see. I know that might sound selfish on my part, but Mum would enjoy it just as much as me and they do come with humans she likes as well. Given she hasn\u2019t really spent time with anyone for absolutely months, it would make a bit of a change if we could. I\u2019ve already got a map that I\u2019ve marked where all the Entlebuchers in the UK live. That would give me a good starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
