This week has been pretty quiet, except for Alan’s coughing – poor Alan came down with kennel cough last weekend, the poor little dude. So we’ve been in quarantine together, I felt fine but couldn’t leave the confines of our house as I was classed as a ‘carrier’ as I’d been in contact with the patient. It’s been quite nice catching up with stuff at home whilst we have the time – updating my scrapbook, replying to fan mail and catching up on beauty sleep. We’re coming to the end of a week of house arrest and it’s safe to say Alan is pretty much back to normal but he’s extremely bored, entertaining a 6 month old pup by myself is hard work!

However the bad news is, the bug has got me today and I have started coughing too, it’s not good as I’m getting phlegm in my beard and that means Mum is going to want to wash it. Great. I feel fine in myself, I’m bigger and older than Alan so can cope with things a bit better (thats maturity for you) but it looks like we’re not leaving prison home anytime soon.  I haven’t seen Nanny in a week or Rodney and The H’s, I miss them and could have done with Rodney’s help, he’s much better at wrestling with Alan, he can take the needle teeth. I could really do with a Nanny cuddle but she’ll have to wear scrubs and a face mask, no kisses allowed.

This week’s Furry Friend is a new friend of mine, we met on the Frolicking Friends in Frensham walk back in August. Otto is a rather handsome long haired dachshund, he reminds me of a long and low Nicky Clarke (especially when flipping his hair around in the wind) however I’m not sure I’d trust him with my beard and a pair of scissors….

Dach’s all for now – enjoy your weekend, Mum will be playing Nurse!
