He was so miserable yesterday and every time he moved too quickly it hurt. He has an infection behind his eye the vet thinks. He\u2019s got a very painful eye and swollen gland in his neck and seems to have a bad headache too. Apparently, the pressure in his eye is a bit high too so he has to go back again tomorrow to have that checked again. Mum says she needs to see how he is today before she decides whether she can take me to the dog show I\u2019m supposed to be in on Saturday. She won\u2019t go and leave him if he isn\u2019t well. I know I was looking forward to some more time away just Mum and me but I\u2019m glad she always puts any of us first if we\u2019re ill. One day it might be me who needs it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_5275-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_5275-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_5275.jpg 338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday it meant Alfie didn\u2019t go swimming, even through he\u2019d been looking forward to it. Instead Shadow went and came back saying she had a fantastic time. Mum said she was really doing well and is a natural swimmer. She dived in a couple of times but after that got in a bit more gently. What was funny was how much further up the ramp she needed to stand when she wanted a rest out of the water, because her legs are so much shorter than the boys\u2019 legs are. Even Mum said how much fun they\u2019d had. It made me want to have a turn to see what I thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mum\u2019s got some news boots \u2013 they are weird. She tells me they are cow hide but I\u2019ve never seen a cow who looks like that. I really don\u2019t think I\u2019m supposed to want to herd them but it is tempting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a great Wednesday.
