Alfie is not making life easy. Yesterday some of the stitches at the top of his leg came open again, so he had to go back to the vet. He was there for nearly an hour again while all his dressings were removed and new ones were applied. Now he\u2019s got them much more open. The wound is quite deep but will have to granulate rather than the skin coming together. He\u2019s only got light dressings on it now and Mum is tasked with keeping an eye on how they are and trying to keep them clean. She has no idea what she\u2019s going to do if she has to redress them on her own. It took three of them yesterday. Two to hold him down and one to do the cleaning and dressing. He does have an appointment this afternoon so we are hoping he can get to then without needing a change, but she thinks that will be an achievement if he does. He\u2019s really not happy. Mum is hoping to get his results soon too. I\u2019m sure if they are ok then she will feel an awful lot better about everything, but at the moment she is feeling very stressed. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m helping. I\u2019ve reached the point of going stir crazy with not being able to go for a walk and am not really helping matters. Now Alfie\u2019s wound is more open I can\u2019t be anywhere near him as I just want to lick it. I can\u2019t be near Aristotle as I just want to mate with him, so all in all I think I might be being just a little bit annoying all round. I\u2019m pleading the fact that I\u2019m still a puppy so I\u2019m allowed to be annoying sometimes, but Mum says that it\u2019s one of the times she needs me to behave responsibly and help out. Ah well, I guess she can\u2019t have everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
