Mum says we\u2019re faced with some tough choices until we move into our new house. Given we don\u2019t have a date yet, there is going to be a time when we won\u2019t have a house to live in. She\u2019s explained to us that renting somewhere with three dogs is almost impossible. At that point of the conversation I was feeling sorry for Shadow and Aristotle. I was naturally assuming that whatever happens I will be with Mum. She asked us all to be grown up dogs and help her decide how things will work. She has found somewhere to stay for at least some of the time which means one of us can be with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then she started to talk about how hard things are for Shadow given she\u2019s nearly 12 and a half and deaf. Mum doesn\u2019t think that Shadow should have to spend too long in kennels. Aristotle put his paw up and said he really didn\u2019t mind where he was as long as he could see Mum sometimes and knew it wouldn\u2019t be for too long. What could I say after that? I wanted to shout that I had to be with her and that I couldn\u2019t possibly be expected to be apart from her. Shadow of course just nodded her head as she couldn\u2019t hear a word of what was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum thinks that maybe Shadow and I can take turns to be with her. She has suggested that she can come and spend time with us at the kennels too. I said she could stay in kennels with us, but sadly it doesn\u2019t work like that. Now I really wish I\u2019d gone back to Switzerland with Dad. I really hope it isn\u2019t going to be for too long. I think Mum will miss me as much as I miss her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
