My Mistress is now reunited with Shadow in Switzerland. Shadow has been saying that she has had a lovely holiday and even had chance to go walking in the Swiss Alps. In turn my Mistress has been telling Shadow how worried we\u2019ve all been and all the things we\u2019ve been doing to bring about a speedy return to her home. The funniest thing is that Shadow has become good friends with Megan\u2019s father. She says she\u2019d like to see him again sometime, which is rather worrying when she is only just likely to be pregnant with Rino\u2019s puppies and what he would have to say about it I really don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t think my Mistress would look for Shadow to have puppies with Kuno, Megan\u2019s dad, in the future, because they would be too closely related to any puppies that Megan goes on to have. It\u2019s all very complicated this genetic stuff. As dogs we don\u2019t generally think about all that. It\u2019s just the times like when you are introduced to a dog that only has one grandmother and you think it\u2019s a bit strange, but that\u2019s as far as it goes. For the most part we don\u2019t even meet our grandparents so it isn\u2019t as though we are really being deprived of anything useful. Perhaps if grandparents gave us pocket money when we were puppies to would become more meaningful to us.<\/p>\n
Anyway, Shadow has to visit the vet again this afternoon to make sure she has all her paperwork and has had more tick and worming treatment ready to travel home. The vet in Switzerland has been wonderful. We\u2019d like to come up with a way of thanking him for everything he has done, but it is hard to have a really good idea. I suggested we could send him a picture of all the puppies when they are born. I think he might like that.<\/p>\n
