We suspect we may have found the reason why Alfie has lost his voice. He has been using it too much. Of course it could still be something else and he is going to the vet on Friday for his regular blood test. They will check him over too to make sure there is no other cause then him shouting all the time. He\u2019s been driving us mad since we got back. Mum says it\u2019s to do with his dementia and all the changes recently have unsettled him, but whatever it is, he does need to stop for all our sakes. As a dog, I never thought I\u2019d be the one complaining about the barking, or more to the point rasping, coming from the other room. It is getting a bit much though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m really looking forward to our Fun Day on Sunday. I\u2019ve been missing having other dogs to play with and can\u2019t wait to have a good run about with my friends. Ari said he\u2019d run round with me, but his leg is hurting and Shadow likes running but for a shorter time than she used to. It just means I have to remember to really make the most of the occasions when I can be a totally mad thing and if all goes to plan then Sunday will be one of them. I went to tell them all about my trip to Switzerland too. I hope they won\u2019t mind me telling them how wonderful it is. Some of them want to visit one day and I keep telling them they can stay with us\u2026 I hope Mum and Dad don\u2019t mind and they don\u2019t all try coming at once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s really weird not having Dad around now we\u2019re back. Shadow is fed up that I\u2019ve seen him and she hasn\u2019t, but means the others don\u2019t really want to hear that I\u2019m missing him. Mum has told me to focus on the fact that he\u2019ll be home soon and that\u2019s what she\u2019s doing. I just went and curled up in his side of the bed and thought about him instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
