We tend to like to keep ourselves clean. Consequently for the most part our Mistress manages to stay clean too. Oh you should see her now. Wilma is a mud queen. Not content to eat it, which is a habit our Mistress is trying to discourage, she thoroughly enjoyed walking in it and then when she practiced her recall instead of coming and sitting in front of our Mistress she stretched up and put her paws on her. Needless to say she has some room for improvement! It got worse though. Our Mistress got the towel out of the car to clean her off before getting in to go home and Wilma was so enjoying being rubbed down with the towel that she rolled over onto her back to have her tummy rubbed. She rolled over on her back\u2026 in the mud! Our Mistress gave up at that point and said she would have to wait to be cleaned off at home. She says it looks very much as though our shower is going to be in regular use!<\/p>\n<p>Wilma went for a walk round the nearby town too, just so she could get used to somewhere a little busier and the whole going out and about with our Mistress thing. She was very good and attentive and nothing fazes her. She\u2019s a bit too smart and has really got the hang of which hand our Mistress holds the treats in when she\u2019s doing training. It\u2019s not our Mistress she is watching it\u2019s the treat hand!<\/p>\n<p>Today we have a lot of time in the car again, which won\u2019t be much fun. Our Mistress has to go to Cambridge University for a meeting and we\u2019re going with her. I have to look after Wilma while she\u2019s in her meeting. I said couldn\u2019t she take Wilma in, but apparently that is unlikely.<\/p>\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\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>None of us have really been partial to mud.
