It\u2019s Wilma. I\u2019m worrying about Wilma. Apparently she is a very dominant girl. Now of course, I can live with that. I\u2019m as submissive as they come as long as I can be near our Mistress. It\u2019s Shadow she\u2019s going to have a problem with. Shadow takes no flack from anyone. Shadow is the pack leader, leaving aside our Mistress and no one and nothing is likely to change that until Shadow had either given up or has a complete personality transplant. We are a little worried that the expression \u2018fur will fly\u2019 might be too close for comfort for when Wilma tries to find her place in the pack. Ari will back down. I suspect he\u2019ll be putty in her hands, but there is no way Shadow<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/01a4fd7b697ea87c0a432cc265cb6fd039bc592f24.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/01a4fd7b697ea87c0a432cc265cb6fd039bc592f24-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Della\" class=\"wp-image-10724\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Della<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>will stand for it. Our Mistress has given it some thought and is still taking me to Switzerland to meet her first. That way she hopes that Wilma might stick up for me when I need it, a bit like my girlfriend Bella does. When we get back Shadow and Wilma will be meeting on neutral territory to begin with and our Mistress is hoping that the rod of iron that Shadow rules with will be enough for Wilma to get the picture without too much of a fight on our hands. I\u2019m going to be standing by with the phone and the vet on speed dial just in case!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pups are doing very well. They have had a sleepy day today. Even when they wake up hungry they are very quiet about it and seem to be very placid undemanding dogs. I really do think they\u2019ve picked up their father\u2019s temperament, for which they may be very grateful, but don\u2019t tell Shadow I said that! Our Mistress says she\u2019d like a small litter every time as it is so much less stressful, but I think part of the reduced stress is down to how lovely these ones are. Also, because they are bigger they have got themselves into a routine much more quickly, which makes it easier for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s video is <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/YfzbLJ3Klrg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/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>The puppies are fine, I\u2019m not worrying about them.
