I seem to have an infection that is making me pee all the time. I don\u2019t mean to. I\u2019d like to be improving on my toilet training. It\u2019s not like there isn\u2019t an incentive. I don\u2019t get to go in the rooms with carpets at the moment. It\u2019s not so bad, most of downstairs has hard floors and I can get to the pee mat in time most of the time, but not always. I\u2019m on antibiotics, but I\u2019m finding the tablets quite difficult to swallow. I spat the pieces out several times yesterday before finding that if I chew them a bit, they may not taste very nice but they are a lot easier to swallow. I quite like the ham they are wrapped in to help them go down. I had my boosters yesterday, including the one they squib up the nose. I grumbled less than Alfie, but then the vet did something much more unpleasant to him involving emptying his over full anal glands. I don\u2019t even want to begin to describe how bad that smelt!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m settling into the routine of life round here. To be honest I think I\u2019m being just a tiny bit spoilt but I\u2019m not going to complain. I get so many cuddles and kisses it\u2019s brilliant. I went out in my rucksack the other day to have a look at the world. It didn\u2019t look too bad. I\u2019m almost looking forward to when I can walk out on my own. I\u2019m not sure what I will think of the lead and not being able to run off, but I quite like the little harness I\u2019ve got. It was Alfie\u2019s when he was little.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m hoping this works. I really wanted you to see the picture of Mum that my Mistress<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5670\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5670\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/05122011310.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5670\" title=\"05122011310\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/05122011310-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shadow looking regal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>took a couple of days ago.
