Me in 2015
Friday Flashback
It’s Wilma here again with Friday Flashback. You’re going to like this. It’s from when I first moved in. Ari decided to interview me for the diary so you could all get to know me a bit better.
December 2015
As Alfie is now taking Monday’s off as well you are going to have to get used to me and Wilma writing on a Monday. One of us is excited about that prospect, but then one of us is excited about just about everything. Today along with her first Kong recipe I thought I’d do a little interview with her.
Right then, Wilma, after your first couple of weeks what do you think of living with us?
“I don’t think Shadow likes me very much. She keeps growling at me and snarling when I go near the chew that I thought our Mistress had given me.”
That was Shadow’s before it was yours. Actually more to the point, it was going to be Alfie’s but Shadow takes all the chews away from us and claims them as hers.
“She’s not very good at sharing is she? Then she tried flaunting it in front of me. What am I supposed to do?”
I think you are supposed to roll over and say ‘Oh great and mighty Shadow I know you’re the boss,’ but let’s be honest, you’re not going to do that are you?
“No, probably not. Our Mistress says she thinks I’m a natural born leader whereas Shadow does it by bullying. Bullying’s not nice is it.”
No, but let’s be honest, she’s my Mum and I’m pretty scared of her.
“Apart from Shadow I think I like living here. Our Mistress is great. I love getting into bed with her in a morning. I like working for my treats too. That might sound odd, but I love working. I love mud too and there’s lots of that. Unfortunately, I seem to get into trouble when I want to bring it all home and spread it over our Mistress’s clean clothes. I like sharing a bedroom with you too. It’s comforting having another dog there at night when it’s dark. I’m trying to sleep through the night and not wake you, really I am. I’m managing to 5am now, so I’m getting better.”
Kong Recipe
Right, then, Wilma, tell us about the first recipe you’ve tried and what you think.
“Well our Mistress helped. She didn’t think we should be trusted with a grater. We mixed some natural yoghurt with a grated carrot and some kibble and then froze it. Then we did one without the kibble too, but I prefer it with some kibble in it. We also tried it in a bone rather than a Kong and I much preferred the bone as it was easier to get out. Being frozen it still took me a while though, so it served its purpose. I’ve asked our Mistress to buy lots more carrots so we can have some more like that. She’s rounding up all the old bones that are lying around too as they are so easy to fill.”
Well, that’s all from the kitchen today, unless I can lay by paws on the rest of the white chocolate and blueberry muffins that our Mistress made for the humans. They smell pretty good.
Meanwhile back in 2018
Oh you have to laugh. At least Shadow gave up trying to be boss shortly after that and just let me get on with the job. It’s funny how times change. I get to sleep in Mum’s bed all the time now. I feel a bit mean looking back and thinking Ari might have liked the company, but I like the bed too much to go back.
Have a great Friday
Love
Wilma
