Ticking me off


Yesterday we took Alfie and Sooty for a lovely walk. Alfie was all over the place as per normal sniffing every bush in site. On our return poor Alfie was most upset with life hiding behind the chair and in the wardrobe. Key major panic by parents of said dog. Having gone into shock with the last vet bill we determined that this time we would explore the little blighter for a tick and sure enough there it was on his eye.
Unfortunately for him the deal was done and the poison injected so in 10 minutes he was very very sick. I whispered in his ear that was not worth another $2500 so he better suck it up and get better. Fortunately for us and him he did and today is well enough to bark at the post man. Sooty was bemused by all this carry on and not in the least bit concerned for his half brothers welfare. Maybe he thought he could get rid of the competition for our affections. Anyway here we have a photo of poor Alfie wrapped in a towel to keep him warm. You cant see the hairdryer I used to blow warm air lovingly over his fragile little body. I did. !!Honest.
