He took it to our Mistress to show it to her. She\u2019d noticed some blood on the floor tiles and wondered which of us it was and at that point Alfie didn\u2019t say anything. Later he went and told her his paw was hurting and asked if she could look at it. He\u2019s got quite a nasty lump, about ball-bearing size, just in front of his rear pad. Then he\u2019d taken the skin off it so it was bleeding. He\u2019s been to see the vet and she\u2019s given him some antibiotics and certainly taking the skin off will have happened when he was playing ball. At the moment it\u2019s not clear though if the lump is an injury or if there was a lump that has then become injured when playing. He\u2019s got to go back to see her when the injury and infection has gone down to see if there is still a lump there then. She also explained a treatment she might try for his dementia that she has been reading about. Our Mistress is hopeful that it might help him a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s most fed up as our Mistress is making him have a rest from playing ball for a day. He\u2019s got to stick to playing on the grass for a while too, but that\u2019s not too much of a problem as long as he remembers not to run into the holly bush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a nice walk on soft ground. I didn\u2019t go too far and it was lovely. We\u2019ll be ok as long as it doesn\u2019t rain too much as it gets quite muddy. Who am I kidding, this is England, of course it\u2019s going to rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>I think Alfie was feeling left out of all the sympathy, so now he\u2019s got a bad paw.
