Exciting News
I’ve got some exciting news. I asked Chloe the assistance dog if she would do an interview for us and she’s going to. She’s going to tell us some of her personal experience of being a working dog and the problems that can bring. I’m in such admiration of the work she’s doing that I just can’t wait to interview her for you all.
Alfie’s doing ok
Alfie asked me to carry on doing his diary at the moment. He’s doing ok, but he’s finding it a real chore getting about with his paw bound up. He’s going to have the dressing changed again today and as long as everything is still going well he’s looking forward to having the stitches out and the bandages off completely from Friday. He says at the moment it just doesn’t seem to be his paw and is doing things of its own accord. It’s worse when he’s wearing his boot as he’s not used to dragging round something quite so big.
To be fair, he is making the whole boot thing much harder than he needs to. Every time Mum wants to put the boot on his foot so he can go out, he curls his toes up, so the boot doesn’t sit neatly on his foot. He says he just can’t help it. It’s a sort of reflex reaction.
I must not jump up
As it’s got rather warmer, Mum has resorted to wearing shorts. She has sat me down and had a serious discussion with me about it. It’s not that she’s expecting me to wear shorts too, it’s just that she would be very grateful if I could stop jumping up and shredding her legs. Apparently whilst I only cause bruising through her jeans, she seems under the impression that if I do that to bare legs I might just cause extensive bleeding. I can’t help my natural ebullient personality, although it seems it would be helpful if I could contain it just a little bit. This is not going to go well!
Love
Wilma

Thanks, Wilma, you taught me a new word today. Ebullient! I honestly have never heard that word in my all of 68 years. But it certainly is a great descriptive word for the Entlebucher breed. Now I can teach that word to Olie.
Have pity on your Mom’s legs as I know what that feels like.
Very big hugs to Alfie. He sure is going through a trying spell these days. Em
It really does describe us rather well.
I’ll try to be nice to Mum but you know what it’s like when we get excited!
Love Wilma
