I want you all to join me singing happy birthday to Aristotle and all his brothers and sisters. They are five years old today. Shadow says she can\u2019t believe five years have passed since that Monday morning when she finally gave birth to her first litter of puppies. Mum was telling me all about it and I have to say I was starting to wish she wouldn\u2019t. Who would have thought they\u2019d all grow up to be such fine dogs? Anyway, Arnie, Rafa, Amigo, Addie, Soggeli, Dora and Aristotle have a very happy birthday and I hope you all get spoilt rotten, especially Aristotle as then we might all benefit! Mum and Shadow said they want a quiet moment later to remember little Aisha who didn\u2019t make it too. She lived for a few hours and Mum did everything she could. Having puppies isn\u2019t always straightforward so it seems. Anyway, I\u2019m going to spend the day pouncing on Aristotle and generally rolling around to celebrate with him. He\u2019ll enjoy that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alfie is keeping very still and quiet. He wasn\u2019t at all happy to have his photo taken. His leg is bound a long way up and except when he\u2019s going out to the toilet, or eating and drinking, he\u2019s keeping his collar on all the time. It\u2019s a nice soft one, but it\u2019s still not much fun. He has to go to the vet this afternoon to have his dressing changed again and he\u2019s really not looking forward to it. He said the worst bit now is the amount of sticky plaster that is sticking to his fur. When that gets pulled off it really makes his eyes water. Well it would, wouldn\u2019t it! Mum\u2019s hoping we\u2019ll have the results of the tests on the lumps soon too. I know she\u2019s worrying about it. At least Grandpa seems to be improving now so that\u2019s good news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
