Mum has been caring for a poorly Alfie. He wasn\u2019t sick after the middle of the night on Saturday, but the other end joined in on Sunday morning in a quite convincing fashion. Whatever was happening, his body decided to get rid of it all in one go. He was very quiet yesterday and didn\u2019t eat much at all. Mum was worried in the morning as she couldn\u2019t get him to take all his tablets. He eventually had all the important ones so she is hoping he is stable. Now she needs to see if he picks up today, but has said if he still doesn\u2019t want to eat then she will take him to the vet this afternoon. He really is the most adorable dog when he\u2019s poorly. He hates causing trouble and tries so hard not to be ill in the wrong places. The rest of us, if we want to be ill we don\u2019t think too much of the problem of clearing up. Alfie on the other paw is always thoughtful, even at the worst of times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ari is doing quite well, if only he\u2019d stop jumping up and down\non it. Listen to me, I\u2019m the one who jumps over dog gates and scares her.\nAnyway, he\u2019s going to have a week of kennel rest in the hope that will keep him\nnice and calm. I\u2019ve come to keep him company, but have been made to promise faithfully\nnot to chase him or get him excited in any way whatsoever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Something tells me this isn\u2019t going to work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum intends to use this week to get lots of sleep and do some\nrecuperating, but with Alfie ill she may have to be more focussed on him. Why\ndo things never work out as you planned?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
