It\u2019s Wilma here again as Alfie says if he can\u2019t have breakfast then he can\u2019t be expected to do any work. He\u2019s in good spirits but is clearly anxious as is Mum. The lump on his paw is about twice the size it was a week or two ago and Mum says she\u2019s surprised he can walk on it at all. It really does look very sore. We\u2019ve all had to promise to take special care of him when he comes back this afternoon. I\u2019ve got to play nurse at the weekend too as Mum has to go away just over Saturday night and says I must take special care of Alfie. I shall certainly do my best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know if much work will get done today while we\u2019re all waiting to hear that he\u2019s ready to come home again. I know that Mum is a big shaky about it all. She says she was very pleased with the work she got done yesterday though as she\u2019s in the process of sending her novel out to agents and she wrote a big proposal for it that took her an hour and a half to put together and that was just one submission. I hope they like it as if she has to send it out to very many that would be an awful lot of work for one book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m coping remarkably well with not going for walks at the moment. It\u2019s a bit frustrating, but Mum tries to play ball with me in the garden each day. When I say she tries, some days it seems to make sense and I\u2019ll go running after the ball and bring it back and other days it occurs to me what a pointless exercise playing ball really is and I leave her to it, while I find something more interesting to do. It\u2019s amazing how long a human can throw a ball and go and collect it themselves before they realise you aren\u2019t actually playing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
