What wedding?
‘Are you watching the wedding, Alfie?’ ‘What wedding?’ was my reply. It seems most people around me plan to spend all day Saturday watching television coverage of a royal wedding. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that’s a nice way to spend a Saturday if you don’t have other things to do. Oh I’d have gone if I’d been invited, but I’m not aware that any dogs have actually been sent invitations. Going would have been different as it would have meant being outside. As a dog, I do quite like being outside and I think that all of you at home with dogs should bear in mind that your dogs probably like being outside too and remember to build that into your TV viewing schedule.
As I typed that Ari pointed out that he quite likes cuddling on the settee, so maybe not all dogs are as negative to a whole day’s TV as I am! You can’t please everyone.
What to wear
Of course if I had been invited, I’d have been left with the dilemma of what to wear. The only animal who can really pull off attending society events without looking out of place is the penguin. They were built for it. I guess I might look ok with a bow tie on my collar. It’s not something I’ve ever really tried.
Snuffle Mat
As promised here is a picture of Shadow actually having a whole meal from the snuffle mat. The funny thing is then watching her going back to check every so often to see if she missed a piece anywhere. I know it’s not more ridiculous than me going to check my bowl at intervals to see if any more food has appeared by magic, but it is quite entertaining to watch. She glowered at me when I laughed so I need to be more discrete about it.
Shadow could probably pull off going to a society do. She’s really good at walking round looking self important and wouldn’t worry so much if she fitted in or not. She’s more Corgi shaped too, so might be more acceptable.
Have a great Tuesday
Alfie

We are with you Alfie, rather be outside than in watching a wedding. We plan to be out in the garden. Happy Tuesday to you all. Love Gill & Sammi. xxxxx
Sounds perfect. I don’t think even Ari would argue about a day in the garden.
Love
Alfie
Dear me, little sister Wilma, Valeria here
Do you really think an Entlebucher has to dress up? For any occasion? Any occasion imaginable? A “royal wedding”? Harhar. The bare idea!
Nodoggy makes a better appearance in its/his/hers/their birthday suit than an E.! And you are one!
Love.
Valeria (and Mama Susi who completely agrees with me)
Oh Valeria, I’m sorry – that was me Alfie. I was logged in as Wilma. Of course Wilma is the most beautiful girl in the world and she needs nothing extra. I just thought if they were to ask me, then maybe I should have looked the part.
Love
Alfie
