Well they\u2019ve gone. It was panic stations yesterday as my Mistress was sorting out the final things for her trip, and fitting the village Fun Day around packing up the car. You\u2019ve never seen so much luggage. To be fair my Mistress has packed most of her food for the journeys so that they don\u2019t have to leave the dogs. My cousin is going with them too. Shadow and my Mistress are both excited and so is Megan. They were all scurrying round getting in each other\u2019s way. Shadow wanted to make sure her favourite bed was in, my Mistress was more concerned about their passports. Shadow wanted to take the bone we\u2019ve all been sharing, my Mistress said she wouldn\u2019t have it in the car as it really is starting to look a little on the grotty side.<\/p>\n
Megan had been begging to be included in the trip and as a concession to the fact that Shadow isn\u2019t very keen on travelling, my Mistress agreed. It seemed a better option than having Shadow cry for the whole 2000 mile round trip. Shadow is much happier when one of us goes too, to hold her paw.<\/p>\n
The rest of us stood out at the front and waved them off. Shadow has had all sorts of good wishes for a successful trip, not just from the long list of people waiting for puppies but from people who wish our breed well. It will be Megan\u2019s turn next as long as this next few months doesn\u2019t put my Mistress off altogether! I think Megan wanted to see what all the fuss was about and exactly what she would have to do.<\/p>\n
Once the\u2019d gone, we sat around coming up with possible names for the puppies. I wanted Anastasia for a girl and my Master thought maybe Aphrodite. For a boy I thought maybe Aardvark. We may need to keep working on it, but I don\u2019t suppose it will actually be our choice.<\/p>\n
