He didn\u2019t get to go swimming yesterday. He was sick in the morning and there was blood in it. That wasn\u2019t what really worried Mum, it was when he refused his breakfast and even worse our Master\u2019s yoghurt pot. Alfie turning down his favourite food is unheard of. He did a couple of hours later eat his breakfast, but he did it very slowly. Mum took Aristotle swimming instead and when she came back Alfie had had really bad bloody diarrhoea too and he told her he really wasn\u2019t feeling well. She arranged to take him to the vet and as I write this we\u2019re waiting to hear how he got on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heidi is still improving. She is still in quite a serious condition, but some of the key signs are going in the right direction and the ones that seem worse might be expected to be at this stage. It\u2019s going to be a long time before she\u2019s running around like the rest of us. We\u2019re all sending you good wishes, Heidi and hope you continue to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I offered to help Mum with the Christmas cards yesterday. My writing isn\u2019t so good, but I could lick the envelopes for her. She was very gentle with me when she explained it might be best for her to use a piece of damp kitchen roll to do it. She can\u2019t lick them herself as she\u2019s allergic to the glue and if she licks them she gets asthma. Don\u2019t say I didn\u2019t offer, but you can all rest assured if you receive a Christmas card from us the envelope has not been licked by a dog\u2026 the card might have been, but the envelop is safe. Just saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a lovely day,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/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>It\u2019s Wilma here because Alfie\u2019s poorly.
