K\u00e4thi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Wilma has asked if I can make sure to send her love to her Mum, sister and the puppies and say she\u2019s thinking about them all. Sadly, their other housemate, K\u00e4thi, died suddenly from a brain tumour on Friday. K\u00e4thi was another of our breed and played an important part in Wilma\u2019s early weeks. She was twelve and a half years old and really did look to be a lovely girl. As you can imagine, Wilma is a bit subdued as it\u2019s the first real loss she\u2019s experienced. She says she wishes she could be there to comfort her mum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile at this end, Wilma\u2019s hormones are playing havoc with my behaviour. It\u2019s making me so competitive and even though poor Alfie is trying to rest, I feel the need to reinforce my position as young macho male. I know it\u2019s illogical. I know I can\u2019t do anything about it, but believe me when that scent is on the air, it really wouldn\u2019t stop me trying. To be fair, Wilma did not make herself awfully popular yesterday morning by standing on our Mistress\u2019s eye while she was trying to sleep. Thankfully her eyelid was closed, so although it\u2019s now a bit scratched and bruised, there\u2019s no real harm done. Our Mistress was not impressed and said there are better ways to be woken. Apparently a good morning kiss would have sufficed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alfie is being all clingy and worrying about his operation. The lump on his elbow is getting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

bigger by the day and he says it\u2019s uncomfortable. Our Mistress says she thinks there\u2019s a second one on his paw too. I think Tuesday will be tough for all of us as I know our Mistress will be stressed while he is being operated on. He\u2019s gone back to trying to sleep on the bed by our Mistress\u2019s feet, which he hasn\u2019t done for ages. She of course is letting him, even if it means she\u2019s stiff when she gets up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
