Crufts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mum has booked for me to be in the showring at Crufts again this year. I\u2019m so excited. I\u2019m not very good at it as I don\u2019t practice when I\u2019m supposed to, but it\u2019s always fun to see all the other dogs and I\u2019m in lovely shape at the moment so I\u2019m rather hoping the judge will be impressed. Mum says I need to stop begging for scraps if I\u2019m going to keep my shape, but I think she\u2019s only kidding. Whoever heard of a dog not begging for scraps? I\u2019m not actually needed to cover the Discover Dogs stand, which feels weird. I think I\u2019m sort of \u2018back up\u2019.\u00a0 Mum said she can\u2019t really make plans very easily at the moment as it all depends on Alfie. He\u2019s going for a check-up with the vet tomorrow so we may have a bit more idea how he\u2019s doing then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Cuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One thing living in a village is that our power seems to go\noff more often than it does for city dogs. Last Saturday was crazy, it seemed\nto go off and on at random. No sooner had it come back and Mum had reset the\ndodgy fuse in the fuse box than it went off again and tripped the switch. It\nwouldn\u2019t be so much of a problem if that were not the circuit with the freezer\non it. Mind you, I did offer to help eat the food if that was necessary. There\nis only so much a human can eat on their own in a short space of time. As it\nturned out things settled down again so my help was needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy birds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The garden birds are going to be happy today. Mum has bought\nsome more food for them. She had run out of some of their favourites and with\nMum not being able to get about they have had to wait to start being fed\nregularly again. I presume they have been going to other gardens. I do hope\nthey come back as Mum misses watching them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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