It took until yesterday for our Mistress to get a copy of this month\u2019s Dogs Monthly for me (and thank you to Dickens for telling her to try Tesco\u2019s for it). Now I\u2019ve got it I\u2019m going to keep it under my pillow at nights. I did ask if I could have more than one copy so I could put her picture up downstairs as well, but our Mistress drew the line at that. I really am bursting with pride.<\/p>\n<p>Wilma went with our Mistress for a meeting yesterday and was once again as good as gold sitting at our Mistress\u2019s feet. Then she had to endure the last of the Christmas shopping, although to be fair I don\u2019t think she found it was much of a chore as I would have done. Most of the time she sat in the car waiting to check out what our Mistress had bought. Our Mistress said it really focussed her mind for shopping, knowing that Wilma would be getting fed up waiting made her make decisions much more quickly and she got finished in no time at all. Wilma said it felt like ages, but it always does if you are the one waiting. To make up for it in the afternoon our Mistress made Aristotle play with her, which he was none too impressed about but took in good spirit. He\u2019s grown into a lovely laid back sort of a dog who can be very tolerant when necessary. We are all excited that Wilma has a play date with a local terrier called Monty tomorrow. We\u2019re hoping he will tire her out, but I\u2019m guessing that could be wishful thinking on our part. They are going to the paddock at the kennels to play. He\u2019s about the same size as she is now so they are more evenly matched. Mind you, the rate she is growing he\u2019s going to be in for a surprise in a couple of weeks! She now weighs in at 16.75 kg and has suddenly shot up in height. She really isn\u2019t going to be a small girl. Our Mistress says she\u2019s perfect.<\/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 am so proud of my girlfriend, Bella.
