Hello Mary!!!

So sorry I haven't been in touch lately - haven't forgotten you - just been so busy with xmas artwork. But its done now, by the skin of my teeth!!!! Just got to make my wee mince pies and shortbread and then .... relax!!!

How are you doing? Hows mum - loved the pussy cat photo!!!

We are fine this end - pup had a wee accident few weeks back - came bouncing in to the kitchen like tigger, skidded across the floor, front legs splayed out., and pulled a muscle!!! Oh dear - poor paw!!!! However, after tablets, TLC and mega cuddles he is back on form again - looking forward to dog xmas visiting with few wee pressies!!! We have now put down rugs in the kitchen for safety's sake!!!

He is still stealing (!) but xmas tree seems to be safe at the mo!! He has however managed to leg it off with xmas stockingl,pine cones and a few wee other bits and pieces!!!!� Cheese bribe works well tho! thank goodness!!!

Lost wee Bailey the hammy couple of weeks back - he was such a sweet pea - but had a long and happy life.

Big kids are here for xmas - nice to have the family around.

Well, our love to you and yours, your mum and your wonderfu-l pets. Have a lovely xmas and our very best wishes and good health and happiness for new year 2009xxxx

alfie, pup and family :o) xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Also lovely to see you back Alfie. It sounds like you have been very busy.
I'm glad Pup hasn't become a reformed character, his antics always give me a giggle

Hello alfieblue, thank you for my post, hope you all had a lovely christmas and that pup behaved himself, no running off with any more stockings or even crackers, sorry to hear about bailey the hammy. Ive just got back from spending christmas with my mum, my brother managed to get time away from work, he works for royal mail so you can imagine this is his busiest period, when i left he was busy ringing around checking things were running smoothly. Sam didnt think much of my brother and kept running away from him and hiding behind the sofa. He got his little share of the turkey and a new cat nip toy for christmas and a long snooze on my bed with me on boxing morning. Mum and i were both missing big ginge though, it was quiet without him and i always find myself missing patch too as he loved to curl up on all the discarded wrappng paper.
Much love to you and pup and your family. :o)))))xxxx

My girl is living up in scotland now (graduated as teacher) - pup is a head case but lovable with it. What a dog!!! How are u, hows mum and pussy cats, how is marmite? So much to catch up on!! This is very slow - lap top is groaning so will do my other message now. With much love and best wishes - alfieblueXXXX
