Today we are going on an important visit. We are going to see a local boarding kennel to see what we think. Mum has explained this is for short or emergency stays rather than anything longer. She is very happy to take us up to Yorkshire to the wonderful kennels we know and love when that\u2019s possible, but there can be odd days that is not practical for. We\u2019re all going. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s about us seeing what we think of them so much as them looking at all of us. Oh this could go so badly wrong if Ari is not in a good mood with his mother. If he and Shadow start bickering I can see now what\u2019s going to happen. Personally, I want it to go well as occasionally spending a day with other dogs is something I enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is good having Dad around for fuss and cuddles. He isn\u2019t home for very long, but Mum has said he will soon be back for a lot more time, which is very exciting. We\u2019re having to be a little bit gentle with him at the moment as he\u2019s got a bad back. On the bright side that is delaying him working on picking up the apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mind you, Ari\u2019s legs are doing better even after a few swimming sessions so he\u2019s happy to pick apples from the lower branches whenever I want them. He says it feels good to be back on two legs again. Mum is a little less convinced. Oh, she\u2019s pleased his legs are doing so well, but it means he can cause more mischief again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was hoping to go to a special dog show tomorrow, with all four related Swiss breeds. I\u2019ve been going on and on to Mum about going and she had sorted out so Dad could look after the others. Sadly, she\u2019s told me that she isn\u2019t well enough to take me so we\u2019re going to miss out after all. I hope everyone who goes has loads of fun and we\u2019re thinking of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
