When I say \u2018I\u2019 it is a joint present with my Master as I couldn\u2019t afford it on my own. It\u2019s a ring from the wonderful pawprint jewellery They do lots of other things, so maybe the others can get her something from them sometime, but this was about me wanting to do something special. On the outside it has my left and right pawprints alternating around the ring and on the inside it says \u2018Alfie \u2013 my soulmate and best friend\u2019 because that\u2019s what she thinks I am. I just know she\u2019s going to cry and I can\u2019t wait to give it to her and see if it fits ok. The company does some really cool necklaces and bracelets too and you can have your pawprint or a picture or even some of your hair in it too. Do you think she\u2019s going to like it? You won\u2019t tell her will you?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/2015-12-21-Alfies-ring-007-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"2015-12-21 Alfie's ring 007\" class=\"wp-image-11128\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Wilma is growing so fast. She is going to be quite big compared with Shadow. In fact she\u2019s going to look very like Megan and our Mistress just seems to love her more and more each day. I do feel my nose is a little out of joint about it, but Wilma is so happy and affectionate to all of us that it\u2019s hard to take offence. Especially when I can steal her filled bones when she\u2019s moved on to something else! I\u2019m not ready to go for walks with her, I\u2019ll leave that to Aristotle. Having a muddy puppy jump on me is something I am not prepared for at my age. To be honest, I thought my medication was working as I was a lot happier towards the end of last week, but then over the weekend my shoulder started hurting again and I have to confess to being more than a little grouchy with everyone. Grandpa was very good with me and calmed me down a bit, but I\u2019d be happier if I felt ok.<\/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>I do hope you can all keep a secret for at least a few days, because I really had to share with you what I\u2019ve <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2015\/12\/22\/tuesday-22nd-december-2015-can-you-keep-a-secret\/\" title=\"Tuesday 22nd December 2015 &#8211; Can you keep a secret?\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11],"tags":[50,93],"class_list":["post-11124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-family","tag-entlebucher","tag-wilma","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11124","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=11124"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11124\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11622,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11124\/revisions\/11622"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
