We\u2019re tip-pawing round again as Alfie is ill. The abscess has come back behind his eye and he\u2019s in lots of discomfort. His cheek is quite swollen and his eye is inflamed and has increased pressure. He went to the vet yesterday morning and has antibiotics until Tuesday but then he has to go in for an operation. They are going to drain the abscess and try to see if there is something in it causing the problem as it should not have come back if it was clear. Our Mistress is really worried about him and being as gentle and loving with him as she can. The rest of us are trying to keep out of his way so we don\u2019t cause him distress. Wilma is giving him licks from the rest of us as he still likes having her around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today Wilma and Shadow are off out to do a meet and greet for the breed with someone who is thinking of introducing one of us to their own family. I don\u2019t mean one of us as in the four of us, I mean they will have a puppy of their own if things go to plan. Wilma loves doing things like this and Shadow, once she has let them know who\u2019s boss, quite enjoys the attention too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think if there is still time while it\u2019s light I\u2019m supposed to be holding the ladder so our Mistress can take the Christmas lights down from the front of the house. I know they should all be down by now, but if she will go putting so many up it\u2019s going to take a while to get them down again. Everything else is done, so I think the plan is that we\u2019ll do them today. I\u2019m much better at holding the ladder than I am at going up, which is why we do it that way round\u2026 that and the fact that I\u2019m a dog of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
