She said that if she were ever homeless she thought I\u2019d be a perfect dog to be by her side. Anyway, it made me think of all those poor dogs that live with their humans on the streets. I\u2019m really lucky, I get plenty to eat and a nice warm bed. In fact, I\u2019ve got more than one bed of my very own. Santa Paws, what I wondered was could you maybe go round and give a little bit of food to each and every dog that sleeps with their humans on the streets and maybe an extra blanket for them to share with their humans too? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>p.s. if it helps I\u2019ve really tried to be good.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Love <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Wilma<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11138\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11138\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11138\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_2482-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Me and my puppy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_2482-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_2482-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_2482-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_2482.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11138\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Me and my puppy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure what I can add to that. I was going to ask for a few treats and things, but that seems awfully selfish now. She\u2019s rather taken the wind out of my sails on the being selfish front. I think I may just go and lie in my comfortable bed and think about what I need to do to become a better dog. I think I\u2019m rather proud of my little puppy for being such a generous girl. She\u2019s even been happy to share her toys and treats with me even though I\u2019ve been grumpy most of the time. Maybe I should make it my New Year\u2019s resolution to be more like my puppy. I know our Mistress says that humans should aim to be more like dogs, but maybe they should all try to be like Wilma and greet everything with the same happy disposition and have affection for everyone.<\/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>Wilma has asked if she can include her letter to Santa Paws and being a softie I said yes, so here it is.
