The other day I watched the engagement interview of Madeleine's father and mother, and was struck by how much the young Swedish king resembles Felipe of Spain. Mind you, they are distant family--both share Queen Victoria among their ancestors.

I've since then thought that Madeleine's sister Victoria's penchant a while back for Felipe might have to do with this--Freud would agree here!

As for the jack russell--they are great dogs but notoriously stubborn minded. In addition, all puppies need a lot of work, attention, time, none of which Jonas will have to spare when he starts his lawyer internship work which will yield 50+ hr work weeks.

What, in other words, were these people thinking getting a dog? It's not like Madeleine will have ample time on her hands either, as I'm sure there will be a lot of travel and Unicef-like gigs in her near future. I don't want to sound overly judgmental here about people I don't know, but by all accounts this is not the time for these people to get a puppy. It seems selfish of these two people to get a dog when in all likelyhood they won't have the necessary time to really commit to the animal.
