Last Christmas, my apprentice, Teddy, was living with his poorly humum. Her friends, rightly, wanted her to have the best Christmas she could possibly have, so they invited her out for Christmas lunch. Teds was left on his own, at home, and because he has separation anxiety, and without the influence of a senior fur to show him what's what, he had a few little accidents, so when his humum came home, she had some cleaning up to do and Teds was in the dog house with wilting ears, something I'm used to but Teddy finds hard.
The months that followed were increasingly difficult for young Teds and, as you know, when his humum had her final admission to hospital, I took him on as my apprentice. Whilst there were some worrying moments initially, when Teds was a bit too prone to doing as he was told, he's made good progress and has developed his own idiosyncracies as well, of course, as learning some very useful skills from me. So we've made a little movie to celebrate not only Teddy's journey, but the journey of many similar furs who find themselves in difficult circumstances through no fault of their own.
We want to give a big woof of thanks to all those hupeeps who work to help those like Teddy, in and for charities large and small, across the country, and indeed the world. Also, we want to shine a light for all those hupeeps and furs whose year has been difficult. Maybe they too have lost someone special and are facing a Christmas that is far from ideal; hang on in there Pals, it will get better. So snuggle up, with dog's breath lickings and gentle nose bumps for those you love and who love you. Stay close, stay safe and never pass up an opportunity to indulge in a bit of mischief, it livens life up a bit! Happy Christmas.
