We have a small disaster on our paws. Shadow is ill too. It turns out that the vaccination I had against kennel cough is a bit like a human flu vaccination and doesn\u2019t cover all types of the illness. That\u2019s nice to be told when you\u2019ve suffered having an injection up your nose. Quite apart from the fact that we are both going round the house sneezing over everyone and everything, which in itself is really rather unpleasant, it means that we aren\u2019t allowed around other dogs. On a normal week that wouldn\u2019t be too big a deal and we\u2019d just stay home and keep our germs to ourselves. This week however is different. Shadow was supposed to be going to Discover Dogs at Earls Court. For some of the time she was going to be the only dog on our stand. Now she can\u2019t go. So it means for Saturday morning my Master and Mistress will be representing the Entlebucher breed, without actually having an Entlebucher to show to anyone.<\/p>\n
It does mean that I won\u2019t be as lonely in kennels. I can now be in isolation in company, if that makes sense. Shadow says she doesn\u2019t feel too bad, but I\u2019m still feeling pretty subdued. It has made me a little more sympathetic to the concept of the human cold. I\u2019ve got a cough, I\u2019m sneezing and I\u2019ve got swollen glands. The only good thing is that my Mistress is pampering both of us, which is rather decent of her given she keeps getting sneezed over for her trouble. I do wish I could get my paws around a tissue so that I could be a little less anti-social.<\/p>\n
