This is just too exciting. Mum has said she can\u2019t simply sit at home any longer. She wants to work out how we can go to Switzerland. Oh how I\u2019ve longed for her to say this. It isn\u2019t certain yet, but Mum is now beginning to think about all the things we need to do to make it work. She even found the courage to go to get new passport photographs yesterday. She found the whole thing very scary but she did it. What was funny was that when she then used the photograph it said she looked too much like the background \u2013 the background was white. She added a note to her application saying she couldn\u2019t help being really pale and her hair having gone white. If they don\u2019t like it she\u2019s threatening to dye her hair purple for contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously neither Shadow nor Ari are thrilled that we might go away without them. They are worried in case they need her while she\u2019s away. They would go to stay at our old kennels so they\u2019re somewhere familiar and where they\u2019d be well looked after. If they weren\u2019t well before our trip, Mum has promised that we will cancel. It is hard when our loved ones are old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum has heard that our sit on mower is no closer to arriving than it was when she asked three weeks ago. She really isn\u2019t happy. It means she is going to have to continue using the regular mower for a while yet and that\u2019s easier said than done. I run up and down offering encouragement, but she says it needs a little more than that to get the job done. Secretly I\u2019m quite pleased as it is going to mean much more time outdoors. Besides, I won\u2019t be allowed out while she uses the sit on mower but with the regular one as long as I promise not to get in the way, I\u2019m allowed to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
