I made you a bed, and everything.*
I realised today, after a few questions, that I haven’t posted about our puppy news. This is probably because it’s not good news. The litter from which we were to have a pup didn’t make it to term. It’s sad, and nobody really knows why the mum lost her pups: on the bright side, she’s being retired from breeding, and we’re now looking forward to a pup in November-ish from Mitzi’s sister. So our dog will be my parents’ dog’s niece. All in the family…
* ‘making’ may be defined as using a friend’s old cutter quilt to make a sort of pillow case, and sticking it in a kennel. What? It’s for a dog, not Elizabeth Taylor.

Oh, that’s so sad…
But kind of cool you will have Mitzi’s neice. In a weird sort of way.
I like the bed. And the make-do dog.

Thanks Alex. The make-do dog is going to be the real dog’s toy. It feels kind of creepy now to have bought a toy for the first pup: I was in a pet shop with Mum and got a bit carried away. I’m sure we’ll feel better about it in November.
