Well a week has gone by since he came off his antibiotics and finally Alfie\u2019s abscess looks as though it is coming back. The whole idea was that he would need his MRI scan on a convenient weekday. I have not spoken to our Mistress yet today, so I don\u2019t know if she thinks she is going to have to call the vets today or whether we have a little longer to wait. Poor old Alfie is feeling quite miserable. He doesn\u2019t really want it to have to get any worse before it\u2019s sorted out, but does understand he has no choice. Our Mistress has asked us all to be especially nice to him at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s ironic that our Mistress has to fill in our Club\u2019s health surveys on all of us too. She says it won\u2019t take long for the one about me, even though I have a bad leg. It won\u2019t take long for the one for Shadow, even though she\u2019s had 22 puppies. It won\u2019t take long for the one about Wilma, even though she has a heart murmur. Then there is Alfie! That one could take a liitle longer to fill in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a funny time of year really. It\u2019s not quite winter and it\u2019s not quite spring. The crocusses are not quite out. The birds are not quite nesting. The weather is not quite warm enough. I think it should be renamed the \u2018Not quite\u2019 season. I can\u2019t decide if I want to get excited because spring will be here soon or depressed that it\u2019s still quite cold outside. Wilma is never down. She is ready to bounce come rain or shine. I wonder if I was ever like that or if I\u2019ve always been a little less bouncy. I\u2019m not as happy go lucky as my mother. Shadow treats every day as though it is going to be the most exciting ever. She\u2019s the happiest dog I know even if she doesn\u2019t really like me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, have a great Not Quite Saturday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
