We have turkey soup not stew and it\u2019s divine. I said to Mum that if I ever lose my teeth that\u2019s what I\u2019d like her to make for me to eat. From the look she gave me I don\u2019t think she\u2019s planning to oblige. Mind you, I\u2019m not planning to lose my teeth so I guess we\u2019re even. When it comes to teeth we do pretty well really as they generally seem to last long enough. It\u2019s probably a good job as I can\u2019t see any of us sitting still long enough in the dentist\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know how it is where you are, but here the weather is really not Christmassy at all. It is misty and damp and grey. Oh so many words I could use to tell you that it really isn\u2019t the fun play outside weather I was hoping for. I don\u2019t know what the plans are going to be, but as you can imagine the three of us aren\u2019t so keen on board games or charades. We\u2019re more action dogs than sitting around dogs. Ok, I\u2019m more of an action dog. Ari is more a lazy around like a floor rug sort of dog and Shadow has reached the point where she goes to sleep and doesn\u2019t know we\u2019ve all left the room. In fact we play hide and seek with Shadow on a daily basis as she wanders around the house trying to find where we\u2019ve gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum said her main plan is to stay in bed. We\u2019re not expecting any deliveries or visitors. We\u2019re not going out anywhere other than the garden. In reality she might get back to the decorating, but that\u2019s about as exciting as it\u2019s going to get. Mum has actually said she\u2019s going to make us listen to Christmas carols for the day but we can probably howl along to some of those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has reminded me that I need to do some work today to think about my Christmas message to all of you. That was something Alfie was always so good at, but I\u2019ll give it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
