The dear and darling boy Alfie left us yesterday, Saturday 12th April. It was unexpected, and I feel so sad that there will be no more cuddles and kisses with my beloved and affectionate boy. But I'm so grateful for all of the walks, all of the love, and all of the moments I enjoyed with him over the years, and for his wonderful owners who took the very best care of him right up until the end. Despite the grief, it warms my heart to know that yesterday morning, he was trotting around on the beach, tail up, slurping on a puppacino and loving life right up until the end. That was Alf. He was a truly happy chap and we will miss him so much. My heart is with his family, and of course his brother from another mother, Louie, who was his partner in crime. Alf was such a lovely, easygoing presence and I have so many happy memories of him; he really was such a good boy, but im happy to report he had his moments too- which of course I approve of- everyone knows I have a soft spot for a bit of mischief and one of Alf's favorite tricks was to lull you into a false sense of security, always trotting happily at your side, then when you looked away, he would be pelting across a field faster than you'd beleive possible, after a horse on the horizon, or something stinky he caught a whiff of on the wind! He loved life with all his big, pure, joyous heart and even with his cruciate surgery, he would rush at the door begging to come out when I arrived. Love you so much forever sweet Alfie boy, go share some sausages with Andy and Bailey and the gang, roll in eternal mounds of p**p, and chase some sheep. Thank you for expanding my heart and for every last cuddle. xx
