Happy birthday, Alfie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Happy Birthday, Alfie. Today is a very special day. Alfie has become a teenager. I don\u2019t mean that eighteen month old phase with dogs, where we go through all the hormonal changes that humans save for later. I mean the full blown, thirteen years old even in human terms! That is quite an achievement and in dog terms means he is now the equivalent of 91. Surprisingly, that still doesn\u2019t make him the oldest in the family. Grandpa has another birthday this week and he\u2019ll be 93. I think Grandpa is rather fitter than Alfie too, which is quite impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For his birthday, as you\u2019ll have gathered, Alfie is taking the day off. He\u2019s given me his diary to do and Aristotle is taking his swimming slot. He says he\u2019s planning a quiet day sitting by the kitchen door waiting to see if anything happens. Of course, it won\u2019t. It doesn\u2019t on any of the other days he sits waiting by the door. It gets opened sometimes but then he has to reluctantly move out of the way. Actually, he doesn\u2019t always do that and sometimes we just step over him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s asked me to send birthday wishes to any of his sisters who might have made it this far. I think he\u2019s going to drop an email to his breeder in Belgium, but he did say to send his love to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mum took Alfie outside yesterday to have his official birthday photo taken. Let\u2019s just say he was not that keen! It took an awful lot of photos to get one that was good enough! He hadn\u2019t really been feeling too good, so didn\u2019t want the bother. I guess we all have those days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, to my best buddy and dog that I adore, happy birthday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all my love from your tiresome puppy, Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n
