Not tennis balls. I didn\u2019t find what he was like with those, but he was so obsessed with my Boomer Ball that when it was taken away from him he tried using the solar lights instead. He was so funny. I\u2019ve never got the hang of playing football as he was doing and I\u2019m now wondering if I\u2019ve been missing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_0952.mov\"><\/video><figcaption>After the Boomer ball was taken away<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s funny seeing the ways we are similar. He\u2019s my half brother and he is the only other Entlebucher I know who sticks his whole nose in the water when he\u2019s drinking. It was funny with the paddling pool, Salvo likes getting in to drink and I have to say having tried it I found that very much to my liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_0958-scaled-e1657818830193.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_0958-scaled-e1657818830193-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26574\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Me trying the pool<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Showing them around<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I showed both Salvo and Izzy all around the garden, especially my favourite spots. We even sneaked off to the orchard to see if there were any apples around but Dad had done a good job of clearing up so we didn\u2019t find many. Salvo has some allergies, including grass. He forgot his t-shirt so Mum found one to lend him. He felt much better wearing it. It must be so hard to get itchy when you lie on grass. I love lying out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_2233-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_2233-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26573\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Me with Izzy and Salvo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shadow and Ari<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow and Ari came out to say hello, but they spent the rest of the time indoors. It\u2019s very hard on them both, but they can\u2019t run around like they used to. If they do then the following day they just can\u2019t walk, which isn\u2019t much fun at all. I felt quite sad for both of them. Salvo and Izzy invited us all to go and see them at some point which would be huge fun. Shadow doesn\u2019t seem so keen, but she doesn\u2019t like going in the car anymore. I shall just have to go without her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>It&#8217;s a sad indictment but my half-brother is a ballaholic.
