Remembering Alfie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today we will be spending time remembering Alfie. The 13th<\/sup> of November was Alfie\u2019s birthday and so will always be a special day for us. He was a special dog and we all miss him. If it hadn\u2019t been for Alfie then I wouldn\u2019t be writing this diary. Mind you, if he hadn\u2019t been the wonderful dog he was I don\u2019t suppose Mum would have had the rest of us either. I hope that wherever he is now, the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, he\u2019s pleased with what I have done. I’ve tried to continue his work. Not just with the diary, but looking after Mum too as that was his main job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working hard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all spent yesterday working hard in the garden. I say \u2018all\u2019 but to be fair, Shadow didn\u2019t actually do anything more than stand around looking confused. We cleared rotten apples, sorted out good apples and mowed the grass. I have to say that by the end of the day it was starting to looking considerably better than when we\u2019d started. Mum\u2019s app said she\u2019d walked 21.5km by tea time and I\u2019m sure running around after her I must have done at least that. As long as she\u2019s not too tired, we will be back out again today. There\u2019s still some grass cutting to do and a few apples still to clear. Then Ari wants to finish clearing his vegetable garden and measuring up for his new vegetables beds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There will still be the rest of the hedges, the edges and the weeding to do so we aren\u2019t likely to get all of it done. Mum said it was a shame that Dad wasn\u2019t here to help, but he\u2019s half way back to Switzerland as I write this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the garden is tidy Mum wants us to help putting all the fairylights up around the garden, ready for the big Christmas switch on. I do sometimes wonder why she does these things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
