Your new dog is adorable. I love bulldogs, but own a boxer (well there are three in the house including my gf's dog and our foster dog). How are the laws in CH with dogs? Last time I was there I didn't see very many, except for one old man who seemed to take his to the bar with him everynight.
My boy isn't much of a clown since he's 9 years old. More of the sweet mellow type. I swear he can read my mind though. I'd tell you long stories about how wonderful he is, but it'd bore you to tears.
You should post a picture of the doggie passport when you get it. Why does your dog need a passport? Is she planning on travelling alot?
I've been to Switzerland for work twice. The first time was about 5 years ago in February and it was the coldest I think that I've ever been. The second time was two years ago in August, and I was able to hook up with a friend that had a spare motorcycle to loan me for a 10 hour ride down almost to Italy and all over the mountians. Both times I was staying in Weggis.
