See what I have to puts up wiv pals! I’m trying to play ballee!

@DiaryAlfred That's a beautiful photograph of a handsome boy. I miss him and he was only on my phone. You must have such a hole in your life, you gave your all to make sure he had the best life. Thinking of you both,sending love and best wishes ❤️ xxxx

Here is a beautiful photo of our boy which just popped up from 2019. The hours and days go by with no purpose. We have received so many magnificent cards, flowers and gifts. Words of thanks are not enough. Please know that all are so appreciated together with your love ❤️

@HoraceCowboy Sorry to hear daddy was poorly but glad he's on the mend. We was worried about yous 🐶

Hey there everybody. We are back. Daddy has been very poorly this week and had to go to hospital. He is on the mend and I’m looking after him. We’re back at wonky water central for some sense of normalcy. Have a great weekend & remember to stay safe . Mahoosive love🥰🐾

@DiaryAlfred It's good to have good to see him home with you again. He touched so many hearts and was loved by many. We all miss his garden updates and adventures. I hope having him home brings you some comfort. Take care 🥰🐶💜xxx

This is a message to say how overwhelmed Lee and I are - your cards, messages, poems, flowers and genuine love for our Alfred have been such a comfort over the last heartbreaking eight days. Just a few hours ago we bought him home. Ours for all eternity 💔

@DiaryAlfred Lovely memory, all your boys ❤️xx

Looking back - this really was taken on a Tuesday in 2018 👅

@DiaryAlfred He looks happy, and a handsome friend 🧡

His Lordship and a pal

@DiaryAlfred ❤️

No caption necessary 💔

@DiaryAlfred He was a superstar. Thank you for sharing his diary with us. I looked for him everyday as he went about in his garden, his cups of tea and lately his froth in his chariot. You gave him his best life and loved him the most. 💜🫂xx

Goodnight dearest friends. As you can tell I’m having a nocturnal session revisiting thousands of photos. We always knew that our Alfred was our superstar. Loving him for all eternity…

@DiaryAlfred He looks healthy, I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

One of the very few occasions that Freddie Fox made a daylight appearance. He is now enjoying some of Alfred’s kibble every evening.

@DiaryAlfred Wow, that looks like fun!

If you’re going to have a major mid life crisis make sure it doesn’t last too long - in this case just very few miles. Oh the trauma I’ve put Alfred and Clarence through - not to mention Lee of course 🏍️

@DiaryAlfred Who could refuse those eyes. Beautiful boys 💜

I guess ice cream was always a favourite 🍦

@DiaryAlfred Is that a baby Alfred?

Our boys in June 2013 💔

@DiaryAlfred Memories are wonderful 💜🫂

Memories are wonderful to have even when they break your heart into shreds. This just came up on my iPad - April 2022. Cherish every single moment with the ones you love most of all.

@servicerotties I'm still laughing at the "drunken sloth wearing mittens" keeps making me giggle 😃

I catch about 95% of treats despite having a human that has horrible aim and the throwing skills of a drunken sloth wearing mittens. But I wasn't always this good. Treats would bounce off my head, or I would miss them completely and have to go chasing them all over the place. Sometimes I'd even end up standing on one and not able to find it under my paw! It took a long time to develop mouth eye coordination, and to learn how to track them as they moved in the air. It took practice. So if you're struggling with something and it feels like you're never going to get it, don't just give up. Keep trying. Start small and practice the basics. Eventually you will get better. You might never be able to catch the treats that are thrown high and far, but you're going to be able to catch some of them. If you give up, you're never going to catch any. And who knows, maybe if you practice hard enough long enough, you might even be able to catch those really hard ones one day! #AdviceFromADog 🎥 The treat catch

@DiaryAlfred That will be so appreciated I'm sure. It's so hard isn't it, there things are everywhere and it hurts but moving them hurts too. I hope you are managing to quietly go about your days and find peace in your garden. Xxxx

Ok pals - I’ll be watching you. My toys are ready to collect. Repeat. My toys are ready to collect. Go fetch 💔

@DiaryAlfred That is a wonderful gesture. I know how hard that was to do. Take care of yourselves, much love ❤️ xxxx

On Tuesday I will be leaving a box of goodies for enjoyment by local paws. I’ve been going to the Park late at night & behaving like a batty old girl throwing the odd squeeky into the long grass for sniffers to find. This is as much as I can say at a the moment. Sending my love x

@bemorebob2 What a beautiful thing to do xx

If any paw would like to send a card or anything to T, L and Alfred, please feel free to post to us and we will deliver. 🐾 ♥️ Be More Bob, 45 Winchcombe Street, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 2NE

@DiaryAlfred I'm behind again and sobbing as I read all his adventures yesterday. What a gentle soul he was. You could not of loved him more or looked after him better. He, and you made a difference to my days. Sending you love and best wishes as uour hearts are breaking ❤️ xxxx

After a truly pawfect adventuring day I have to tell you that at 7.15pm this evening I have crossed rainbow bridge and am now no longer battling this hideous cancer. Thank you for being the greatest pals not only to me but my totally heartbroken Tina and Lee 💔

@DiaryAlfred Oh no! I hadn't heard this. What a life he had for a rescue pup.💔xx

Absolutely heartbreaking news. Rest well dearest Ted. Thank you for so much 💔

@DiaryAlfred Thank you I shall have a look at those. I might try again xxxx

@LauraBarlex She’s never really tried growing peonies but the ones she purchased were in bud so at least we are guaranteed one bloom! The planters are from Burford Garden Company xxxx

So we’ve planted a new acer and six peonies. She’s sneezing so I’m taking her in for a cuppa ☕️
