An apology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I need to make an apology to Sybil. I got my years confused. When I said there were no litters last year I of course meant the year before last. Last year my lovely niece, Sybil, had a litter of seven puppies. One of them was named after our village in Switzerland. How could I have forgotten that? Mum said she should have spotted my mistake, but let\u2019s be honest, she\u2019s a bit stressed at the moment. Anyway, Sybil \u2013 I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have decided that Alfie needs some extra moral support so I have started to sleep in his bed with him. He didn\u2019t complain so I\u2019m guessing he appreciated it. Mum said he wasn\u2019t doing too well yesterday, but at least his leg was mostly working. It would be much easier if he didn\u2019t woof every so often in discomfort. Every time he does it, I jump up and bark to alert Mum, then Alfie wonders what is going on so he barks. Poor Mum her nerves are getting very frazzled. She keeps sending me to the naughty step, but I\u2019m not really meaning to be naughty \u2013 just trying to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas excess<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mum\u2019s Christmas excess will have to stop now. Not only has she\nfinished the chocolate, but the shortbread is all gone now to. You would think\nthat meant she was back to healthy eating, but instead she is scouring the\ncupboards to check if there is anything she might have missed. At this point it\nis probably as well that she\u2019s still housebound or she\u2019d probably be going out\nto buy some more. There are some Christmas presents she has to give out yet and\nI think she\u2019s seriously wondering about raiding those. I\u2019ve reminded her of\nsome of the things she says about willpower. I can at least try to shame her\ninto being sensible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
