Hearing Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Our Mistress is trying to give Alfie a\nhearing test. He spent yesterday being very confused and at one point our\nMistress could not work out whether it was just his dementia or whether his now\ngoing deaf. In the past it has been easy to test his hearing with the\ntraditional dog test of \u2018shake the box of biscuits\u2019. While one of us is at the\nbottom of the garden and doing something else, our Mistress stands in the\ndoorway of the back door with the box out of sight and then shakes it. If we\ncome running then there is clearly not a lot wrong with our biscuit hearing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, Alfie doesn\u2019t want to go out in the\ncold, so that trick doesn\u2019t work so well. He goes as far as the grass to go to\nthe toilet but then comes straight back. Now our Mistress is trying to devise\nan alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking Care of Alfie<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAlfie and Wilma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Wilma has been doing a good job of taking\ncare of her buddy Alfie. She does like to have chances to be close to him and\ndoes check as best she can that he\u2019s ok. She says life really wouldn\u2019t be the\nsame without him around and we certainly all agree with that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Wilma and our Mistress are getting irrationally excited about there being snow on Wilma\u2019s Mountain in Switzerland. Our Master went to see all the fun and found lots of families out sledging. Our Mistress says they should get a sled, but he said there didn\u2019t seem to me many fifty-year-olds going down the slope. Our Mistress thinks that\u2019s a bit of a shame. Wilma has offered to go down instead, but that sounds like a recipe for disaster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She may just have to make do with some snow in this country for the time being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Have a great Sunday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
