The first present for Shadow was funny. When Mum gave it to her yesterday morning, Shadow really wasn\u2019t impressed. You can see by the look on her face just what she thought about it. However, when she tried it out later in the day she got the hang of it immediately and really liked it. We\u2019ll do a video to show you at some point. Mum couldn\u2019t video her yesterday as she\u2019d got Dad on a video call with Shadow so he could spend her mealtime with her as well. Dad really enjoyed seeing her which was nice. He\u2019d been out with Mama and Valeria in the morning, so we were feeling a bit jealous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m excited that we have snow forecast for the next few days. Mum says she\u2019s not quite as keen on the idea, but I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll come round. If we get very much she will regret that her snow gear is all sitting in Switzerland, but I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll manage. I\u2019ve asked if we get enough snow whether we could go out and build a snow dog together. It might be fun to have some outdoor time doing something different. Oddly, Mum didn\u2019t seem so keen. She did start reminiscing about being a child and wearing plastic bags over her knitted gloves, held on with elastic bands to keep her hands and gloves dry. I think she\u2019s got some which are waterproof now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For some reason, I\u2019m in trouble. All I was doing was sitting patiently at the bottom of the tree where squirrel has moved in. I can\u2019t think why, but Mum didn\u2019t think that was a good idea. Nor am I supposed to try climbing trees apparently. I can\u2019t think why. I\u2019ve heard Mum say she liked climbing trees when she was young. She did point out that I\u2019m no longer as young as I think I am and she may have a point there. I\u2019m still the puppy of the family. It\u2019s my right to behave like a puppy if I feel like it. I did suggest it might do Mum good to let her inner child take over for a while, but she didn\u2019t seem convinced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
