Alfie is Out for the count<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, Alfie is out for the count. Once he’s asleep he doesn’t hear a thing. In the past, he was ready for action at a moment\u2019s notice. Now, Mum has to wake him sometimes when she wants him to go out or to take his tablets. The only thing he can be relied on to be awake on time for is food. He\u2019s not prone to missing meal times. That may be because I jump on him to get him to join in the barking, but no matter. He and Shadow both have vet appointments this morning. Shadow\u2019s are just for her annual vaccinations, but Mum wants Alfie to have a thorough examination to see if we can find out anymore about what is going on with him. It would help if the vet could get a sample from one of his lymph glands but the ones that are swollen are in places it\u2019s hard to get to without sedating him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shadow\u2019s swim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shadow had a lovely swim yesterday. She says she loves her\ntime in the water, but she might actually like her wash and blow dry at the end\neven more. It made me wonder if there is a spa resort for dogs anywhere. I\nthink I\u2019d like to have a few days away with Mum where I can be pampered and so\ncan she. I think we might both rather like that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alfie\u2019s eyes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Considering his age, Alfie really does still have lovely eyes. They\u2019ve lost none of their depth and lovely brown colour. Mum says he\u2019s still a very handsome dog for his age. I hope I can look that good when I\u2019m his age. His eyes are a much darker brown than mine. His hearing has held up pretty well too, at least if you shake the biscuit box. If you try calling him when he doesn\u2019t want to come in then, like most boys, he\u2019s selectively deaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
