It\u2019s hard hearing my Mistress on the phone and looking over her shoulder to read emails trying to sort out stud dogs for Shadow and other girls in this country. I\u2019m not related. I\u2019m handsome. I\u2019m the right breed, but sadly that\u2019s where the possibilities and dreams come to an end. It\u2019s hard to think that every one of your ancestors was able to have puppies but that you won\u2019t be able to. I know I\u2019ve got Ari as a surrogate puppy. A little lad to teach the ways of the world to, but I\u2019d have loved to have my own. To watch the little nippers growing up and going out into the world, knowing I\u2019d made it all possible. Ari isn\u2019t old enough to really understand the implications of his week, but one day he\u2019s going to feel just the same. At least he\u2019s going to be the real uncle to the puppies that we hope are born to Shadow later in the year. I\u2019ve yet to meet my nieces and nephews, spread as they are across the globe. My mum\u2019s puppies aren\u2019t so widely spread, but I know there\u2019s some of my dad\u2019s in America. It must have been a great feeling for him to know he\u2019d sired a whole empire of little Entlebuchers.<\/p>\n
If things go to plan for Shadow her mate is going to have the same pet name as the one that Megan met earlier in the year. I just hope it\u2019s more of a success. Shadow has at least been through it all before and while she may not be overly keen on some aspects of the process she will be very pleased to have some more little ones to look after. Ones she can wash to her hearts content and who will call her Mum. I just hope it all goes to plan. I think one of the most exciting things about it is that if all goes to plan one of the puppies will go and live in Switzerland. How cool is that? One of them actually getting to live in our homeland. She will be a very proud mum.<\/p>\n
