Much as I know she\u2019s not coming back, it was just something Ari said and I started thinking that maybe she was upstairs and I just couldn\u2019t see her. I disappeared up there for quite some time to have a look around, but she wasn\u2019t there. Mum called me down in the end, but it didn\u2019t stop me wondering. \u2018Never\u2019 coming home just seems too final. It feels more as though it should be like Dad, where I just have to count down to his return. I was just hoping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Family time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad has been having family time again \u2013 with my family that is. Having seen my sister Valeria earlier in the week, he went to see my sister Tosca yesterday. It was lovely to hear how she was, but I did wish I could be there too. She sent her love and of course Dad passed mine to her. I really am hoping it won\u2019t be too long until I can do all that myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Christmas past<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the whole photos of Christmas past thing, we\u2019re up to 2014. That one was apparently even more strange than 2013. Whereas I was telling you about everyone waiting for Shadow\u2019s litter to be born at Christmas 2013, by the following year she was in Switzerland meeting my papa, Rolex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/God-rest-ye-merry-carting-dogs-small-e1418654029190.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"9697\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/God-rest-ye-merry-carting-dogs-small-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9697\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_1578.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"9695\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_1578-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9695\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_1575.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"9696\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_1575-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9696\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow had got the hang of the whole mating thing by then, Papa Rolex was quite a young dog and not so worldy wise. It had snowed and he thought it was a much better idea to play in the snow, even though it was very cold. Shadow tried everything to show him what she wanted, but it wasn\u2019t to be. That was the same trip that Mum\u2019s car broke down when the temperature was minus seventeen centigrade. It was also the time that Mum walked into the overhang on a building and knocked herself off her feet. Not one of her finer moments.
