Hello, Locksley here again. Thank you for your messages last week. Both Victor and Mummy are fine.

It’s my birthday today! I don’t remember anything about being born, but I’m told I was found in a field with my birth mother beside me. She didn’t make it to the rescue, but I did. It was all very confusing, especially when I went in with Ludo, because he was not only confused, but terrified. We’re both fine now we’ve been with Mummy for nearly four years. Four years in September. Mummy thinks it was the 23rd, but has to look up dates like that. It’s not important so I didn’t ask her to.

I’ve had two birthday parties in the past. Somehow we missed my second one. I think that was the year the builders were next door and plastic was blowing around on the grass. But there are pictures of me with Neville and Biggles at my first party. We were all a bit sad because Roscoe had gone over the Rainbow Bridge six weeks earlier, and we’d only just come out of mourning. I enjoyed running around with Neville and Biggles. I realise now that I was too boisterous, like Pippin was, for Biggles, who had a heart problem and something else too. Neville was very patient with me though. I loved Biggles, but I enjoyed living with Neville and learning from him.

Last year we had a party, and it was when Victor was still being pleasant to run around with. I can’t remember why that stopped, but he has more meds than me, so perhaps we were just grumpy together and didn’t have the run panels to stop us annoying each other.

I wonder what we’ll do this afternoon? The weather should be okay. I hope we have cake again. I think we had cake in January for Pippin’s birthday. That’s a long time ago. I think we should have cake days more often. Maybe I shall ask Mummy to do a cake every month. There must be someone to celebrate, don’t you think?

I hope you have nice birthday parties to look forward to, although I saw Auntie Noelle said she didn’t have birthday parties any more. Maybe Garfield does, though. And love to Auntie Tori ❤️

Have a good week,

love
