This was taken in July 2006 on a trip to Kielder Water. It is a portrait that sums him up. He was active, handsome, very much himself oh and one way or another wet much of the time. We went again in October for a day out - to celebrate Alfie's 4th birthday. This is how we like to remember him. He was born on 4th October - the feast of St Francis of Assisi who is the patron saint of animals. Bit ironic that really given Alf's medical history.
