Shadow has lost her voice. She has been barking far too much. It\u2019s funny, Alfie was about the same age when he lost his voice. Mum says it\u2019s weird. It sounds very hoarse sometimes and not there at all at others. Mum is worried that she won\u2019t hear when Shadow needs to go out in the night, so I\u2019ve been asked to alert her if needed. I can do that. Poor Shadow it is so hard for her at times, but then she is so demanding that she does drive us all nuts too. Mum has promised when we move that her office will not be up any stairs. That way Shadow can spend all day in the office and will hopefully be much happier. I guess she\u2019ll still moan, that\u2019s her way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum has asked me to find some photos of all three of us to enter into our Club photo competition. It\u2019s always fun to go back through the last year. The sad part is it being the first year with no new photos of Alfie. We have four categories that we can enter. One is for our age, so there are always ones for that. One is with nature, but it\u2019s been an odd year and we haven\u2019t been to so many places. Then there is action \u2013 which rules Aristotle out as he doesn\u2019t do action. Finally there is comical dogs. Now, here\u2019s the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to me and Shadow we seem to pull funny faces or do odd things at regular intervals. I have too many photos to choose from for that category. Mum says the one with me in the vegetable trough is the best, but I\u2019m not so sure. Shadow just spends half her life looking goofy, all we have to do is press the trigger. I have to decide by Saturday and it\u2019s sooo hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
