Alfie is feeling anxious as he is going to day care today to see how he gets on. To be fair, I think Mum is even more anxious than Alfie. On the one paw she really wants it to work as she needs to go away for a couple of days in March, but on the other paw she feels as though she is doing the wrong thing even making him try. Shadow is going with him to hold his paw and she has promised to take the very best care of him. She has also promised to call Mum if for any reason he isn\u2019t coping. Mum has said that even though we\u2019ve got the whole day free without her having to sit with him, we won\u2019t be going far from home in case he needs collecting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is going to be weird is that Aristotle can come in the\nlounge with us. He has been missing out on time with Mum as Alfie can\u2019t cope\nwith having him around. It is going to be such a treat for him to actually get\nthe day with us. He\u2019s very excited. You\u2019ll realise, if you know our breed, that\nbeing excited is not always an altogether good thing and can lead to mishaps. I\u2019ve\nbeen made to promised not to wind him up in any way or I will be banished. As if\nI\u2019d do anything of the sort \u2013 well, not in a way that anyone would realise it\nwas me anyway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every morning Mum and I go out to look at her favourite apple\ntree in the garden. Last year, it started to bud and then we had a sharp frost\nand the whole tree stopped. We don\u2019t know if it has died or if it\u2019s just\nwaiting to have another go. Whichever it is, we are examining it closely every\nday and if Mum sees anything begin to happen I think you might hear her\nexcitement from wherever you are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
