Me and my new puppy

Today we are celebrating all things Wilma. It is exactly two years since I first met the little girl who was going to be my very own puppy and keep me smiling in my old age. I’ve not found being around other dogs very easy the last couple of years, but Wilma is different she is one special little girl and I’m always happy to see her. She takes care of me and snuggles up when I need a bit of comfort. She never gets cross with me and always understands when I’m finding things difficult. I’ve even coped with how close she and our Mistress are. They have a special bond that I don’t feel threatened by at all. It’s nice, because I know there is a dog to do all the things with our Mistress that I don’t want to do anymore and the things I never liked doing in the first place.

She has a carefree abandon which can only make all those around her smile and it is impossible for anyone to ever get annoyed with her – even when she does something that if it

Thank you for being my puppy, Wilma

Love from your Alfie
