Shadow couldn\u2019t wait to tell us all about how the weekend had gone and the fact that one of her own daughters has now qualified for breeding. She was sensitive enough not to be going on about it in front of Megan, which I thought was probably a good thing. She says she\u2019s sorry there aren\u2019t any more of her children going forward for the test yet but she\u2019s still hoping some might go through next time. She can\u2019t wait to be a granny and says she wants to be all matriarchal and get them all together for big family photos. I said that might be difficult but she didn\u2019t want to listen to practicalities. One day she might be a great-grandmother and that would really be something. I said that in the meantime she needed to focus on her season starting so she could be a mum again. It was funny when my Mistress was putting some of the equipment from the weekend away in the summerhouse, I said she shouldn\u2019t block in all the things we were going to need out for the puppies, but she reminded me that was still at least a couple of months away.<\/p>\n
In comparison to all the preparation life should be a little quieter although I have to help with all the follow up emails and paperwork, so I\u2019m going to be quite busy. It will teach me for coming out with a comment like \u2018I\u2019m sorry I couldn\u2019t have helped.\u2019 That will teach me. Next time I need to keep my mouth very firmly closed!<\/p>\n
I did have words with my Mistress when I got back from kennels and that doesn\u2019t happen often. I went round the house to check on everything, only to find that Aristotle slept in my bed last night. Worse, he got into bed with my Mistress. That\u2019s my place and mine alone! That\u2019s what I told her. I don\u2019t think she\u2019ll do it again.<\/p>\n
