“No puppies yet but Mum getting fatter everyday and eating++”<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

++ means loads! I suppose Bonzo is eating for … uhm … 10? Actually we don’t know how many puppies there are going to be, just that there are some.<\/p>\n

Me and Mum were reminiscing a bit today, looking at pictures of me when I was a puppy. This is me and my brothers (4) and sisters (3) … I’m one of eight. We’re five and a half days old here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mum thinks I might be one of the ones on top of everybody as I had a tendency to lie on top of things when I moved in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think I already mentioned Elk, in fact Elk was the deciding factor in choosing me. As Mum and Dad had no idea how to choose a puppy, they just threw Elk into the pen of boys and waited to see what happened … Mum says in retrospect that might not have been the best strategy as I was the only one not at all interested in hoomans or being picked but got straight to work on Elk. Mum says that things haven’t changed much there then …<\/p>\n

Anyway Elk remained my best friend throughout puppyhood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I came to live here at seven weeks old, I was a tiny boy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I felt pretty much at home almost everywhere in the house. Mum calls this the ‘Inverted Curl’. I still sleep in this position.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is me on the doormat which I totally reshaped later. At one stage it was round!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dad made a special intermediate step so I could get in and out of the kitchen into my little garden.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Aah, those were the days!<\/p>\n

Anyway, Mum’s got her directions all printed out and the car filled up with petrol. She’ll travel all the way to Melton Mowbray when the time comes …<\/p>\n

Bye for now.<\/p>\n
