If you\u2019re squeamish then look away now! Alfie is feeling a little improved as the abscess burst and that means the swelling has gone down quite a lot and the pressure on his eye has reduced. He says it tasted really horrible when it burst and it took ages from him to get rid of the taste. However, he had a tentative yawn afterwards and could move his mouth much more freely without crying out in pain. Mum was really relieved as he\u2019d refused his bedtime biscuit and that\u2019s never a good sign. He was really grateful for all your good wishes and has asked that you keep him in mind tonight and tomorrow, not only for his operation tomorrow, but more especially as he can\u2019t eat after 9pm tonight and that will be a very big ordeal for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow and I had a lovely meet and greet walk yesterday. It was one of those sunny cold winter days where you trot along merrily feeling happy to be alive. I did want to steal a ball from a Jack Russel and run off with it so he\u2019d chase me, but Mum said I wasn\u2019t allowed to do that. There were lots of floods by the river so we kept to the higher path and Mum and Dad were reluctant to have to paddle. I was game, but I was the only one. We really liked the people so that was good too. They asked Mum how they decide if people are ok to be owners of our breed and she said that it was down to us dogs. She thinks we\u2019re a pretty good judge of characters and are much harder to fool than a human. If we say someone is ok, then that\u2019s quite enough for Mum to be happy. I felt quite important after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a really happy Monday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
