Saturday 19th March 2016 – Then and Now

Happy weekend everyone. It’s Ari here. It seems like ages since I’ve been given the chance to write to you. Now I’m not looking for sympathy, but life has been pretty tough for me recently. It seems I cause Alfie stress. I really can’t think how. Anyway, he has wanted me out of the way quite a bit. It means I either get to sit in a room on my own, which is not my idea of fun or I have to agree to be on my lead and stay by our Mistress’s side when Alfie is either around or generally feeling stressed. There is an upside. I do get to stay close to our Mistress which is the best place to be, but it does rather cut down on my opportunities for trouble making or wrestling with Wilma. It’s given me some time to go through the family photo albums with Wilma and dig out some pictures of when we were all small to show her. It made me think you might all like to see a ‘then and now’ comparison of all of us. So here goes.

First up is Alfie. Here is at 3 months old with his mother and then on the right here he is ten years later.

Then Shadow – on the left at about 10 weeks old and on the right as she is now aged 7

Next up is me. I could have shown a picture of me as nothing more than a peanut, being only 292g when I was born, but here I am at about ten weeks and then now aged 4 and a half.

Last and by no means least is Wilma.
