Swiss Chalet<\/h2>\n\n\n

Well if I cannot be in Switzerland I can at least make our summerhouse look like a Swiss Chalet. It\u2019s more Mum\u2019s summerhouse to be fair, but she\u2019s had to help me make it look nice. We haven\u2019t got red begonias like my sister Tosca has. Instead we\u2019ve got flowers that are blue and purple. I know they still have to do some growing, bit I rather like them anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where our house is in Switzerland they grown quite a lot of cherries. I\u2019m delighted to say that we\u2019re doing that too. If you were reading last year you might remember our surveillance operation to find out who was stripping our cherry tree bare. It turned out to be the pigeons, so Mum bought a model of a falcon which sits on the corner of the summerhouse. It\u2019s worked. Not only have they not taken the leaves off this year, but the tree is covered in fruit. Mum is quite excited as she really rather likes cherries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Alfie is going in for his operation this morning. Given he has become a one dog eating machine, you can imagine how happy he has been not to be allowed breakfast. Mum has said he can have as much as he likes later, but I don\u2019t think she means that literally. He\u2019d eat everything in the cupboard without a moment\u2019s pause. I know I\u2019m no better, so I ought to be more sympathetic. It\u2019s going to be a quiet but anxious morning waiting for news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ari is going swimming while we wait. He\u2019s having Alfie\u2019s slot and has promised to work really hard, as he\u2019s put on some weight and doesn\u2019t fancy dieting. What is it with us dogs and food? Ari says it\u2019s so much harder now he\u2019s reached middle age. Mum says he needs to eat less. It may not surprise you to hear he does not agree!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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