\"My<\/a>I thought it best to allow a photo to be taken to show you my new collar. I\u2019m not a photogenic dog most of the time. I don\u2019t really like to see pictures of myself, particularly now I am going a little grey but it was the best way to show you just how lovely my collar is. It matches the lead that I\u2019m only allowed to use on special occasions. I think not being able to use it is more about it being uncomfortable to hold than about it being expensive. My Mistress prefers a lead that is soft on her hands.<\/p>\n

Megan\u2019s progesterone was at 2.6 in her test last night. She has another test tomorrow and we will hear about that one on Thursday. It may mean she goes to see Rino on Thursday or it may be Friday before she is ready. I will let you know when I hear.<\/p>\n

Everywhere we go, people who don\u2019t know our breed say \u2018they look a bit like a Beagle\u2019. It happens all the time. The funniest was when a man holding a Beagle said it and my Mistress wondered just how well he knew his own dog as she had Shadow who looked nothing like the Beagle on the end of the lead that the man was holding. It happened to Aristotle on Sunday evening at the last place they stayed. He was most indignant. \u2018I am not a Beagle,\u2019 he said quite sharply. \u2018I\u2019m an Entlebucher.\u2019 Of course while he felt better to have asserted his identity the person who was asking was none the wiser. I don\u2019t get it quite as often these days as I\u2019m bigger and look a bit less like one as a result. There are worse dogs to be compared to than Snoopy.<\/p>\n
