It is with a very heavy heart that I have to tell you that Addie\u2019s human has had to say farewell to Addie. We are all very very sad and send her lovely human all our love. Shadow is reeling from having lost two of our first litter so close together. Ari is especially sad as Addie was the litter mate he used to play with and felt he had most in common with. She was a beautiful dog and did her best to bring a lot of love to her human. She will be very sadly missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday it did feel like one of those glorious last days of summer. The ones that you wistfully enjoy and hope there will be lots more, but know there won\u2019t be. I spent quite a lot of the day outside. Ari was busy watching Mum cooking. He was then busy watching the oven. He didn\u2019t want there to be any risk of his not getting turkey. Thankfully, apart from it being a little over cooked, all went well and we all had some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow has now added rice bran and another probiotic to her diet. They seem to be working well and she suddenly says she\u2019s feeling really hungry. Mum is pleased but getting fed up with hearing her shout \u2018can I have some\u2019 every time there is any food being prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apart from cooking the turkey, mum spent time yesterday getting in some of the things from the garden and freezing them. Obviously only the fruit and veg, she\u2019d seem a bit silly if she froze things like plant pots. She froze the last of the runner beans and some of the apples. There are a lot more to do, but she ran out of enthusiasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
