Ari is trying to\npersuade me not to as then he can go, but I like my swimming lessons and they\nget me out of the house, so I\u2019m not sure. The problem is that I\u2019ve got a bit of\na problem with my front legs. Don\u2019t ask me what I\u2019ve done. The vet was a bit\nconfused about it as well. I\u2019m walking with them at a rather funny angle at the\nmoment and on the edge of my paws instead of normally. That and splaying my toes\nit is making me look very peculiar. The only way I can explain it is that they\ndon\u2019t seem to be working right. The vet asked if I\u2019d overdone it last weekend and\nhurt my elbows, but I\u2019m not really aware of having done. I got some antibiotics\nfor my teeth while I was there and she has taken some fluid out of the lump on\nmy back to send off for analysis. When she\u2019d finished and I\u2019d had a biscuit I\nwaddled out again and struggled up the ramp into the car. I got a biscuit and a\nbig cuddle from our Mistress, so the whole process wasn\u2019t too bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Missing our Master<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re all missing our Master at the moment. It was nice to see\nhim very briefly on Thursday night and Friday morning, but I really would have\nliked more time with him. It will be another five weeks or so until I see him\nagain and at my age that feels like a very long time. Our Mistress says it\ndoesn\u2019t feel good to her either, but she will at least see him before I do. It\u2019s\nsuch a shame I\u2019m not really up to travelling. I would like to go out to see him\nin Switzerland. At least it\u2019s somewhere I\u2019ve been so I can picture him there.\nAri is the only one who hasn\u2019t been near the place where our Master lives. He\nsays he\u2019d really quite like to go, but it\u2019s more complicated for him than for\nthe girls as he doesn\u2019t have an up to day rabies vaccination. Perhaps he should\nget on to that and sort it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a lovely Tuesday <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>To Swim or Not I\u2019m deciding whether to swim or not today.
