It wouldn\u2019t be so bad, but they have taken to digging up the lawn looking for them. It may be that they are burying them, in which case we\u2019re going to have the most amazing forest of oak trees growing in our back garden by next spring, but either way it isn\u2019t good as they\u2019re undermining some of the newly laid paving slabs in the process. They\u2019re a cheeky bunch. Even though our Mistress has left some fallen apples for them, while Granny was here last weekend she watched one go up to the tree and remove one of the perfectly good apples that was still growing. It\u2019s a good job our Mistress likes wildlife. Mind you, having said that she thinks Mickey and Minnie mark 2 have moved into the loft and she\u2019s taking action to have them evicted and it may not be pretty! Oh they will like the chocolate spread she\u2019s providing them, but they won\u2019t like what happens next!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aristotle has at long last started his trial of the Tracca application. He now has a Tracca device on his collar which means we know where he is and can follow him from our Mistress\u2019s mobile phone. She has topped the credit up on his phone number but explained to him he can\u2019t use it to call anyone, which is probably a good job as he\u2019d only start calling his friends in other countries and run up a huge bill. He says the thing on his collar is a bit big but he\u2019ll get used to it in a day or two. He thinks the waterproof cover is a good idea particularly with how the weather is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Now I don\u2019t know whether they\u2019re just forgetful or whether we have senile squirrels, but they seem to have forgotten where they\u2019ve buried their nuts. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2015\/09\/04\/friday-4th-september-2015-squirrels-with-dementia\/\" title=\"Friday 4th September 2015 &#8211; Squirrels with dementia\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9590,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,9],"tags":[63,95,58],"class_list":["post-10448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-gardening-2","tag-aristotle","tag-tracca","tag-wildlife","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10448"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11564,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10448\/revisions\/11564"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
