If you can ever call our house \u2018normal\u2019 in some regards (and disregarding the influx of visitors) we are getting back to normal. My Mistress has threatened to clean the pen out naked, just because she can now that the camera has gone. This morning Dickens will be packing his bags and going off to start his new life. Puppy equipment is starting to be put away, after being washed you\u2019ll be pleased to hear. It\u2019s not going too far away as we are hoping to need it for Megan in only a few months\u2019 time. Now we start to focus on the next hurdle. My Mistress seems to think that\u2019s some work things she\u2019s doing, but I prefer to focus on the things which include us. Next on the list is Crufts. We are already arguing over who gets to go. You may think I don\u2019t bother given I have no wish to be on a stand being petted by strangers all day, but it is not as simple as that. If Shadow and Ari go then I get left behind in Kennels. Obviously Megan can\u2019t go because she\u2019ll be off on holiday with her boyfriend again. I\u2019m hoping that Shadow will be in season about then, which would mean she can\u2019t go and then it\u2019s me and Aristotle. Ari is quite happy to be petted by anyone and I get some peaceful time at my grandparents. To me that sounds like the best plan. Of course it means that my Mistress has got to work out how to get Ari\u2019s stroller out of the summerhouse and into the car, but that\u2019s not today\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the bad weather being forecast my grandparents are coming to stay a day early, which is a bonus as far as I am concerned. Friday is going to be better still as the ratio of dogs to humans reaches one to one. As long as my Mistress is my one then I shall be happy. I\u2019m guessing visitors will want the cute puppies and as James will be here Shadow will want to be with him, so my Master will have to have Megan as Ari still counts as a cute puppy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
