Alfie’s Barking Mad Year

What a barking mad year it’s been! 

I’ve had plenty of adventures going along with Kylie to co-design committees, a Disability expo, and just recently speaking to students at Western Sydney University.  

I wasn’t allowed to go and chase sheep with Kylie on our friend’s farm near Nambucca.  (When I’m not groomed my wool might have made people think I was one of the sheep!). 

I have a new trainer and I’m learning to march proudly in step with Kylie along the Wentworth Point Promenade. In the open spaces I’m not so jumpy with noisy skateboards or cyclists rushing up behind me!  

I just wish it wouldn’t rain so much, as my wool smells like old socks!

Happy Christmas to all!

Hi! What a wonderful finish to the year I’m having!

I’ve just been authorised to wear my MindDog jacket again, and Kylie and I have a lovely new trainer. We can’t wait to get started around the peaceful Wentworth Point environment!

Yesterday was my 6th birthday, and today Kylie and her friends sang happy birthday to me. It was fun. And soon it will be Christmas – more good times ahead.
