Alfie is going to be on the radio. I really mean it. He’s going to be on Radio York in just over a week. He’s got to go to the studio and everything. He is being suitably nonchalant about his fame, but I think it’s amazing. Our Mistress will go with him to help answer the questions, but he’s going to talk about his new book. I think our Mistress will wear her ‘Minimum Wage for Working Dogs’ t shirt and just hope it’s not a cold day. He’s done an interview for one of the dog newspapers too. He really is a great role model for all us young pups trying to find our way in the world.
As you may have seen from yesterday’s entry, I’ve going for a more conventional way to open the fridge. Whilst I might be an aspiring inventor our Mistress is far too sensible to leave things around where I’m going to find them. Besides which, finding I could use the stool to climb up did make the whole job easier. She says with how quickly I pick things up I should be thinking of an acting career. Maybe ‘stunt dog’ or even a ‘stunt double’. I can see it might be difficult for me to be a double for Lassie, but from a distance and in the right light I might get away with it. Our Mistress is trying to encourage me to train as her personal assistant, but that doesn’t have the same kudos as stunt dog would have. Who wants to spend their life just fetching and carrying? In his interview for Dog World Alfie was asked if he had plans to write another book and that’s set me wondering if I should put together my own book – The Philosophy of Aristotle – it’s got a certain ring to it, don’t you think?
