It\u2019s Ari here again. I thought I\u2019d tell you a little about my sister Cracker. She is the only one who ended up with a Christmassy name and I do hope she\u2019s making the most of it at the moment. Here is what her family say about her:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Apart from the moment when we wondered if Cracker was going to have Entlescottie puppies – all is fine. Turned out to be a phantom pregnancy. (Apparently she may have had a little dalliance, Ari)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s now been spayed so is taking things a bit easy for the last week.<\/p>\n\n\n

Enjoying her new home and new walks to the estuary and nearby beaches and woodland. Still jumping and going bananas when close friends visit. She loves the water – but hates to go out of her depth – and loves to spray everyone with the Entlebucher trademark shake from top to tail.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds great doesn\u2019t it? Why can\u2019t we live near a beach? I might just start a campaign for us to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m feeling a little disgruntled at the prospect of my brother mating with my mother. He\u2019d better be nice to her, that\u2019s all I can say. What makes it even more weird is that he\u2019s even younger than me! It isn\u2019t going to be his first time though, so that is probably good news. I know Mum\u2019s experienced, but I\u2019m still happier to know that Rolex has an idea what he\u2019s doing too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m feeling a bit stressed at the prospect of being without our Mistress for a couple of weeks. I know Alfie will do his best to look after me and I\u2019ve promised not to torment him as long as he can just be comforting when I need it. He\u2019s agreed, as I knew he would. He says they\u2019ll be back before we know, but I\u2019ll be happier when we get to that point. They\u2019re going to be packing today and I know I\u2019ll be feeling a bit tearful. I\u2019m really not the big tough dog I try to appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
