"Please, please, please throw the ball"

But first you have to wrestle it out of her mouth and get slobber all over you. Eugh!

Tried to get a pic of Bridie and Alfie playing - they are in love! But everytime I get the camera out, Alfie skulks off with his tail between his legs. Don't know what that is all about? Something from his past must trigger it.

Ma and Pa came to visit today with Bridie. Had lunch in the garden and then we went to the garden centre and Mum got me some pots and plants etc. Dad sat in the car grumbling! Looking forward to a day in the garden tomorrow getting everything planted up.

Today I feel like the tiny pin-prick of light at the end of the very long and dark tunnel got a bit brighter and a bit closer.
