It\u2019s an odd day for me today, Megan and I are off to kennels. To reduce my stress my Mistress is going to great lengths. Fortunately the kennel is only a mile ago but we are going in two separate journeys. The kennels have been asked not to give us adjoining kennels or to exercise us together and we will be picked up in two separate journeys on Monday. I do appreciate the length my Mistress is going to. I know it would be far easier if I would just stick up for myself. She has promised to ring me to tell me how everything goes. Part of me is sorry that I\u2019m not part of the day, but it\u2019s stopped being such a fun day for me. I prefer not to have to be around lots of other dogs. I know it would fine if I would just stick up for myself, but it\u2019s not going to start happening now. Anyway, it\u2019s really Shadow and Aristotle\u2019s day tomorrow seeing lots of their family. I had a lovely time seeing my Mum and sister in the summer and they were all very good about that, so now it\u2019s their turn and Megan\u2019s going to get to see her family soon too, so she isn\u2019t being left out. They could only have two dogs in the hotel too, so it makes that easier. My Mistress is a mixture of terrified and excited. Terrified about getting all the breeding test right and not having forgotten anything and excited about seeing so many of the puppies in the afternoon. She will see Addie, Soggeli and Dora (Adrienne, Annette and Avril) from the first litter \u2013 Ari\u2019s full sisters and Basil, Dickens and Tucker (Beethoven, Bumble and Bossanova) from the last litter. She\u2019s also looking forward to seeing lots of the other UK dogs including some she hasn\u2019t met yet because they have been born since the last meeting. I\u2019m sure there will be lots of photos.<\/p>\n
