Well we are excited as Mum is coming to see us today. I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll remember to take some photos for you, once she can get out from under a pile of dogs. I spoke to her last night and she\u2019s confirmed that she\u2019s packed the dog biscuits. You just know she\u2019s going to need them as bribery to get some sort of order out of the three of us. We are bound to be vying for her attention and jumping all over each other in the process. She has said she wants a little bit of time to talk to each of us on our own \u2013 like that\u2019s going to happen! She\u2019s mine all mine and I don\u2019t think the others should get a look in. I know that is selfish, but I\u2019ve missed her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m in Shadow\u2019s bad books. She asked if I had told you she was celebrating her twelve and a halfth birthday on Monday. I didn\u2019t. Clearly she\u2019s reached that age when it isn\u2019t just the full years which count anymore. When you are a puppy you count every small milestone as it seems so important. When you are an adult you stick to the full years. Then when you get old you go back to the whole childhood thing. I guess it is quite a big deal. With Alfie living to the age he did it\u2019s so easy to forget how well Shadow is doing. Anyway, happy half a birthday to Shadow and her brother Rocky for last Monday. We do wish you many more half and full birthdays to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is one current point of concern. Mum has mentioned that there is a really \u2018cute\u2019 cat where she\u2019s staying. That is not something any dog wants to hear from their human. It\u2019s only one step away from finding your position by the fireside has been usurped. I\u2019m seeking assurances that this will not be the case. I may just be feeling a little insecure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
