Alfie is taking the weekend off and won\u2019t be back at work until Tuesday. That means you\u2019ve got me for the weekend and then on Monday I\u2019ve got to help Wilma to write her first post. To be honest, I could do without it. She has decided to idolise me and it\u2019s getting slightly embarrassing. Where I go, she wants to go. What I do, she wants to do. She wants to play with me when she\u2019s awake and sleep next to me when she goes to sleep. I\u2019m just not used to it. I was a bit worried about the number of cuddles she was getting with our Mistress, but rather than being jealous I\u2019ve turned that to my advantage and just get in on the act. We did have one small \u2018issue\u2019 yesterday. Wilma and I were larking around when she needed to go out to the toilet. Our Mistress had told me that I was to stay inside, but you know what it\u2019s like when you\u2019re in an excited frame of mind and I just wasn\u2019t listening. Anyway, our<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-11080\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/018161e18d7ee7e066060dd54ab0b25bb3d8bde412-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Wilma playing with horsey\" class=\"wp-image-11080\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wilma playing with horsey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Mistress tried to close the back door quickly before I could go out. There was just one small problem. She\u2019d forgotten to take her foot out with her, our Mistress that is, not Wilma. Wilma\u2019s smarter than that. Anyway, she managed to trap her foot in the door with a large degree of force which resulted in a very bruised foot and a certain amount of limping and if truth be told a little bit of swearing too. I pushed my luck when I said she shouldn\u2019t be swearing in front of Wilma as it would teach her bad behaviour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things will get even bouncier from next week as Shadow has recovered well from her operation and we think will get a clean bill of health on Monday. That\u2019s going to mean she can join us running around and causing mayhem. Although Alfie has already said he\u2019d like to stake claim to the room that Shadow has been using so he has somewhere comfortable and peaceful to sit. I really can\u2019t think why he needs it!<\/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>Morning everyone, it\u2019s Aristotle here.
