As I mentioned yesterday, I\u2019m going to give you an update on how all my brothers and sisters are doing. This is really exciting for me as I don\u2019t get to see them very often. First up we have Addie. Addie (Adrienne) is my full sister, so she\u2019s three years old too. She lives way up in the very north of Scotland so a long way from here\u2026 a long way from anyway really, unless you\u2019re starting from John \u2018o Groats in which case she\u2019s just down the road! Addie qualified for Crufts last year, but then wasn\u2019t able to go as her human wasn\u2019t able to travel due to a shoulder injury. It was a real shame because she\u2019s very good looking. This photo was taken last week, but she\u2019s moulting so she isn\u2019t looking her very best in it.<\/p>\n

\"Addie<\/a>This is how her human describes her: \u201cAddie is a bossy little madam but the most caring and loveable pet I’ve ever had.\u201d (She should live with our mum<\/em>, Ed.)<\/p>\n

She’s always waiting for me at the front door when I come home from work, usually barking telling me off for leaving without her. (I do that too<\/em>, Ed.)<\/p>\n

When we are together her favourite place is beside me either laying her head on my leg or leaning against me. (Yep, she\u2019s an Entlebucher!<\/em> Ed.)<\/p>\n

She loves to play ball, or tug, or make the toy squeak ’til it’s dead, stuffing will be everywhere.<\/p>\n

She’s a very healthy young lady with a healthy appetite; unfortunately for her that means she’s on a strict diet as she’d eat anything not nailed down and is a committed counter surfer. (Way to go, Sis<\/em>. Ed)<\/p>\n

EMDs may not be for everyone but she’s my little girl and I love her dearly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t that lovely. I\u2019m not sure what she means that we\u2019re not for everyone. How can any human not want a 25kg bundle of solid muscle bounding up to them every time they come into the room? Anyway, Addie, it sounds like you landed on your feet in choosing your human. Glad you\u2019re doing so well. Love from Mum and Me (and the rest of the crew).<\/p>\n
