Aristotle still says she scares him witless, but I don\u2019t think he really means it. I think they were made for each other.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11074\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11074\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11074\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/01b65179695dee82b3eabbcb3e12708dddf1bee493-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Wilma trying to stop our Mistress working\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11074\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wilma trying to stop our Mistress working<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now we aren\u2019t going for gender stereotypes here, but Wilma has asked if she can start writing about the recipes you send in for stuffing Kongs. The reason it\u2019s Wilma is because they are really for her benefit, although we\u2019ve offered to sample them and give our opinion too. I think Ari is going to give her a paw with it and they\u2019ve said they will probably make variations on what you suggest and try to come up with some recipes of their own. They have sent our Mistress out to buy their first ingredients and were busy in the kitchen last night. As the results went in the freezer they haven\u2019t tried them yet, but I\u2019m told they will be trying their first attempts today. What they want to do is come up with things that are not too expensive and which you might have around the kitchen. Our Mistress drew the line when Ari started opening cupboards to find her best ingredients and she has also explained they must check with her before using anything in case it is something that would be hard for us.<\/p>\n<p>There seems to be a pattern to our walks at the moment. I go first and it is dry for my walk and then sit in the car while Aristotle has his walk. Oh so many times recently it has rained for his. Usually it starts just as he walks away from the car. Wilma was fed up as she had been told she could have an extra walk after Ari so they could do some recall work, but it was raining so heavily by then that our Mistress said they would leave it. She\u2019d already had one nice walk so she couldn\u2019t complain too much.<\/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>I thought for a moment that I was going to bring you the first photo of Aristotle and Wilma sitting contentedly together on the settee, <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2015\/12\/11\/friday-11th-december-2015-keep-those-recipes-coming\/\" title=\"Friday 11th December 2015 &#8211; Keep those recipes coming\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11901,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,103],"tags":[63,50,53,102,93],"class_list":["post-11072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-recipes","tag-aristotle","tag-entlebucher","tag-puppies","tag-recipes","tag-wilma","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11072","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=11072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
