Charge of the Entlebucher Brigade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mum said yesterday was the charge of the Entlebucher Brigade. She was sitting at her desk when we decided it was time for tea so Alfie and I got either side of her and barked alternately. It didn\u2019t get our tea but she did start to spout poetry at us. She also sent her apologies to Alfred, Lord Tennyson and all families who lost soldiers in that particular conflict!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlfie to the right of her,
Wilma to the left of her,
Shadow in front of her,
barked, howled and thundered.
Woofed at like hounds from hell,
Wilma joined in as well,
wanting their tea put out
Onto their bowls they fell
The starving dog pack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ari Poo Watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ari poo watch is continuing. We have not seen the bandage\nyet. He is eating and pooing normally but there has been no blue bandage. Mum\nsays if it has not appeared over the weekend then she will talk to the vet\nagain on Monday. Ari says he\u2019s trying his best. He\u2019s even offered to go indoors\nif it will make it any easier for Mum to check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weekend in bed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re on an amber weather warning this weekend, so Mum has\nsuggested we spend the weekend snuggled up in bed. There is just one small flaw\nto her plan. The bed is right by the windows that, during last weekend\u2019s storm,\nshe discovered are leaking. If we have driving wind blowing the water at the\nwindows again then bed may be the last place she wants to be. I have offered to\nshare the settee with her as long as she doesn\u2019t take up too much room. We\u2019ll\nbe all right as long as Alfie doesn\u2019t decide he wants to get up here again. If\nhe does we\u2019ll all have to hotch up a bit to make sure there is enough room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
